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 and/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."

==Famicom Mini Collection==
A single game cartridge consisting of 11 ''Famicom Mini'' titles was planned to be released exclusively in China by [[iQue]], but it was canceled due to the huge scene of piracy in China at that time. Had it been released, it would have come out in 2007 or later, according to the approval year from the government.


Neither the included Famicom/NES games nor the ''Classic NES Series'' menus have been translated in the prototype (they were in English). The game also has a crudely made title screen and menu that are also left in English.
Various popular NES titles were omitted in North America due to their already existing on the GBA in other forms.


The Famicom Mini Collection included all of the ''Super Mario'' games that have received a ''Classic NES Series'' or ''Famicom Mini'' release.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''- already on the GBA as ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]''
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''- already on the GBA as ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''
*''[[Mario Bros.]]''- remake already available on the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]]
