'''Player's Choice''' | '''{{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>https://web.archive.org/web/20070219174653/http://games.ign.com/articles/453/453311p1.html</ref> The label was introduced on May 20, 1996.<ref>May 16, 1996.

Retrieved March 17, 2021.</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. The [[Nintendo Selects]] label is the successor to Player's Choice, likely discontinuing Player's Choice on May 15, 2011.<ref>Reilly, Jim (May 4, 2011).
