- This article is about the budget line of best-selling games. For the episode of The Play Nintendo Show, see Nintendo Selects (episode).
Nintendo Selects was a budget label line of bestselling games reprinted and sold at a lower price, introduced on May 15, 2011.[1] For example, in the United States when a Nintendo game was launched on the Wii console, its MSRP is typically $49.99 (€44.99 in the European Union and £39.99 in the United Kingdom), and if the game is successful, selling over a million copies, later down the line Nintendo could decide to issue a reprint of the same game under the Nintendo Selects label, and lower its MSRP to $19.99 (€17.49 in the European Union and £14.99 in the United Kingdom) as a promotional service for its consumers. Additionally, for the Latin American market, some video games sold under the Nintendo Select label can now be played in Spanish (the Iberic Spanish translation) if the console is set to that language. Nintendo Selects was also a follow-up of the Player's Choice series, which in turn succeeded Nintendo Classics in Europe. The Wii was the first console to have its titles under the Nintendo Selects label. The Nintendo 3DS and Wii U were the first consoles to have titles under the Nintendo Selects label both physically and digitally.
