| '''{{wp|Nintendo Selects#1996–2010: Player's Choice|Player's Choice}}''' was a marketing label on select [[Nintendo]] games that had sold a certain number of units, originally one million copies before being reduced to 250,000 copies for the [[Nintendo GameCube]].<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20070219174653/http://games.ign.com/articles/453/453311p1.html|title=Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance Goes Platinum|author=Coleman, Stephen|date=October 6, 2003|publisher=IGN|language=en|accessdate=December 30, 2024}}</ref> The label was introduced on May 20, 1996.<ref>{{cite|date=May 16, 1996|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19961222152530/http://www.nintendo.com/newsroom/pr/051696f.html|title=Nintendo Introduces Players Choice Games|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=December 30, 2024}}</ref> Player's Choice games were also sold at a lower price point, typically $19.99, lower than the default $49.99. A lot of the more popular games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] have earned the Player's Choice title. Europe did not use the Player's Choice label for its {{a|SNES|l}} and {{a|GB|l}} titles, opting to use the [[Nintendo Classics]] label instead until the {{a|N64|l}}. The [[Nintendo Selects]] label is the successor to Player's Choice, with Player's Choice likely being discontinued on May 15, 2011.<ref>{{cite|author=Reilly, Jim|date=May 4, 2011|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20111017084546/http://wii.ign.com/articles/116/1165963p1.html|title=Nintendo Confirms Wii Price Cut|publisher=IGN|language=en|accessdate=May 4, 2023|url=www.ign.com/articles/2011/05/04/nintendo-confirms-wii-price-cut}}</ref> | |
