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, 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.
