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.
