- There seems to be two extra options, though they're both locked.

GCM Information
The following can be seen by converting the demo to an ISO and placing it in the Dolphin (GameCube/Wii emulator) menu.
First of all, the game has its own save banner.
Secondly, the internal title reads: "Famista2003 GC" (ファミスタ2003 GC). This would appear to refer to Namco's Family Stadium 2003 (ファミリースタジアム 2003), which was released for the GameCube on May 30, 2003.
Build Date
