The '''Classic NES Series''' is a series of videogames for the [[Gameboy Advance]] that are remakes of old [[NES]] video games, with few or no changes. In Japan, each game is called a '''Famicom Mini'''. Several of these games were only released in Japan.

The '''''Classic NES Series''''', known as the '''''NES Classics''''' in Europe and Australia, 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 [[Family Computer|Famicom]]/[[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] video games, including six games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. They are mostly unchanged from the originals, but features such as multiplayer using the [[Game Boy Advance#Game Link Cable|link cable]] or [[Game Boy Advance#Wireless Adaptor|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."


In [[Japan]], [[Nintendo]] released 30 games in three series in total, while North America and Europe only saw 12 games in two series. Several NES games were also released in North America on [[e-Reader]] cards, though. The Japanese releases feature game packaging almost identical to the original packaging for the Famicom.
Mario games released were:

*'''''Classic NES Series: [[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong]]''''' - it should be noted that this game does not include the "pie factory" level, a level exclusive to the arcade version of the game. Presumably the level was kept out due to the game being a port of the NES version.

==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.
 
The Famicom Mini Collection included all of the ''Super Mario'' games that have received a ''Classic NES Series'' or ''Famicom Mini'' release.


Japan only games:
*'''''Famicom Mini: [[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'''''
*'''''Famicom Mini: [[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|Super Mario Bros. 2]]''''' - This is a remake of the ''Lost Levels'', as ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is what the Lost Levels are called in Japan. Follow the link to the game's page for more information.
*'''''Famicom Mini: [[Wrecking Crew]]'''''
