Merge to Player's Choice/Move to Nintendo Classics?[edit]
From what I can gather, "Classic Serie" is the German name of Nintendo Classics, which, from what I can gather, appears to be the European version of the Player's Choice label in the early 90s.
At the very least, I think this should be moved to Nintendo Classics, since Classic Serie is pretty much the German label for the same series, as can be indicated on boxarts like these two.

About the names.[edit]
So, it was only the Game Boy that actually received the "Nintendo Classics" name. From what I could find, the Classic Serie continued on from the NES to the Game Boy, but other countries got it under the name Nintendo Classics, and then the SNES got them under the Super Classic Serie…so, they all have different names, but since they are all pretty similar, we could group the Classic Serie, Nintendo Classics, and the Super Classic Serie in one page, but call it Nintendo Classics as that is the closest English name? They all pretty much are they same though, they all use the same logo. (which was later used in Super Mario Collection, AKA the Japanese Super Mario All-Stars) and pretty much had the same idea.

- The Game Boy was NOT the only console that received the Nintendo Classics label, as can be evidenced by these two boxes, which you have included on this very page. Furthermore, every box I've seen with "Classic Serie" (verbatim) on it, has always been in German, and the only other language I've seen calling it "Classic Series" in its language (aside from America, apparently... might need more research on that), is French with "Série Super Classic". Meanwhile, "Nintendo Classics" is shown on English, Dutch and Italian boxes. rend (talk) (edits) 06:49, June 9, 2024 (EDT)
- From what I've gathered is that the original Classic Serie(s) of NES games ran from '92-'93 on both sides of the Atlantic. The purpose of the original Classic Series for the NES was to supply cartridges for new customers who couldn't find Nintendo's old first-party games. When the Player's Choice label began in the US in '96, the European side chose to revive the (Super) Classic Serie label in Germany for Game Boy and SNES rereleases (and Nintendo Classics in other countries). The GB and SNES rereleases are essentially the same as Player's Choice (titles that earned their entry into the label through high volume sales, regardless of whether they were first or third party games). This may warrant a split with the GB/SNES games going to Player's Choice while "Classic Series" should cover only the four European NES games.--Platform (talk) 22:10, June 9, 2024 (EDT)
Moving the page[edit]
I’m trying to move the page to Nintendo Classics, but because there was originally a redirect to something WarioWare related, the page already existed. I’m trying to move Classic Series to Nintendo Classics but it won’t let me, could anyone delete the page so I could do so? User:Starluxe (talk) 17:55, June 10, GMT
