Nintendo has done scummy things like this before
The SNES game Tetris & Dr. Mario was re-released for the Satellaview, but only Dr. Mario is playable.
It turns out that all they did was take the Tetris & Dr. Mario ROM, make it boot on the Dr. Mario screen and remove the option to exit the Dr. Mario screen by pressing B.
