All Nintendo Selects/Players Choice Games (Up to 2016) - Page 5

Nintendo Selects (formerly Player's Choice) was a marketing label used by Nintendo to promote video games on current Nintendo game consoles that have sold well. Nintendo Selects titles were sold at a lower price point (usually $19.99 instead of $59.99) than other games. The program paralleled other budget range software by Sega (Sega All Stars), Sony (the Greatest Hits and Essentials), and Microsoft (Platinum Hits and Xbox Classics) to promote best-selling games on their consoles as well. In Japan, the discount label was introduced in 2015 for various Nintendo 3DS titles as the Happy Price Selection, although South Korea adopted the Nintendo Selects name at an earlier period. The Nintendo Selects program ended with the Wii U and 3DS, and as of January 2022, no Switch games have been rebranded as Nintendo Selects. Instead, Nintendo discounts them for $5 or $10 off during the holiday season and other occasions in the year.
