The '''Classic NES Series''', known as the '''NES Classics''' in Europe and as '''Famicom Mini''' in Japan, is a series of video games for the [[Game Boy Advance]] released in [[2004]] and [[2005]]. All games are emulated versions of classic [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]/[[Famicom]] video games, including six games of the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. They are mostly unchanged from the originals, but features such as multiplayer using the link cable or wireless adapter (only if the original game included multiplayer) and save functions for high scores and custom levels were added in certain cases. The resolution of the games was altered to fit the GBA screen, making the graphics look "squished." | |||
