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 (£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 (£14.99 in the United Kingdom) as a promotional service for its consumers. Nintendo Selects was also a rebranding of the Player's Choice series. 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.
