Pokémon Channel had a bunch of Pokémon mini games in it, including Lunchtime (also known as Snorlax's Lunchtime), which was never actually released on the mini.

The spy fox games each have one ingame game on spy fox's watch.
Spy Fox in dry cereal contains Happy Fun Sub which is a horizontal shooter. Your vehicle can transform into a jet, boat, and sub.

Spy Fox 2: Some Assembly Required contains Things in Space which is a vertical shooter. Very fun.

Spy Fox 3: Operation Ozone contains Radioactive Trash Collector. You shoot out collection balls to protect the truck from trash.

Maybe the unlockable GBA transfer games in Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg? Drawing a blank on their names at the moment.

Also, would Caravan in Fallout: New Vegas count?

TBH, the main game is only there to unlock the mini games, because its kinda sucky :p
see, to me something like Retro Game Challenge isn't really the same thing, as the whole game is basically just a collection of fake games. I don't know...

EDIT 2: And Tatsunoko vs Capcom has an unlockable shmup thing iirc.
there's a shmup in it? Never heard about that.

At the very least I think Ganbare Neo Poke Kun should count, as the point of the game is to make him happy, which rewards the players with the new games.

As for TvC:

You unlock it by collecting all the yellow letters during the credits sequence.
