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.[1] The label was introduced on May 20, 1996.[2] 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 have earned the Player's Choice title. Europe did not use the Player's Choice label for its Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy titles, opting to use the Nintendo Classics label instead until the Nintendo 64. The Nintendo Selects label is the successor to Player's Choice, likely discontinuing Player's Choice on May 15, 2011.[3]
