A Player's Choice game is a video game on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, or Nintendo GameCube that has sold over a million copies. Image:Marioparty4-playerschoice.jpg When a game becomes a Player's Choice title, it is sold at a lower price, which, at current recommended retail prices, is £19.99 in the United Kingdom, $19.99 in the United States, $49.95 in Australia and €29,99 in Germany. The Player's Choice range is akin to Greatest Hits games on Sony consoles and the Platinum Hits line on the Xbox.

In the United States, Player's Choice games can be identified on the Nintendo 64 by the yellow background of the N64 logo in the upper right corner of the game box. On the GameCube, games are marked in a yellow box on the top of the case. In Europe and other countries using PAL, the boxes are coloured Silver or Platinum with Player's Choice markings on right hand side of a Nintendo 64 box or on the top of a GameCube box.

It is rumored that Nintendo may be phasing out the Player's Choice designation altogether; recent printings of successful games (including some titles on this list) no longer carry the Player's Choice label, but are instead marked on the box as simply being "Best Sellers".

In April 2006, the Player's was applied to Game Boy Advance games, and they sell for $19.99. Image:Goldeneye-playerschoice.jpg
