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.

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, $29.99 in Canada, $49.95 in Australia and €29.99 throughout the Eurozone. The Player's Choice range concept has been borrowed to create the "Greatest Hits" line on Sony consoles and the "Platinum Hits" line on the Xbox.

NTSC 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. PAL Player's Choice games have boxes that 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 rumoured 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 Choice was applied to Game Boy Advance games and, in the United States, sell for $19.99.

Though no original NES games were labeled as a Player's Choice game, some of the games were given special mention in 2004 when Nintendo released the Classic NES Series for the Gameboy Advance to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Famicon in Japan. Though 30 NES games were rereleased in Japan, only 12 were released in North America and Europe. They are listed below.
