Taken from C-E....

"Nintendo of America have announced a new 'Player's Choice' range of games.

Nintendo of America have announced that a Player's Choice range will become available, and the first three titles on it will be Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin and Super Smash Bros. Melee. These games will retail at 29.95US$ (around £18/€28).

When asked if this offer will become available in Europe Nintendo of Europe responded with, "There's no news on this yet but there will be very soon.""

Well well well, Come on NOE!

I think Nintendo sparked it all off on the SNES, actually.

I was deprived of Nintendo 64ness, so, I never really noticed. I wonder if they did it to my beloved NES or SNES.

No man, not just Playstation.

The Players Choice range of games on the N64 had the original game artwork on the front of the box but that was outlined by thick silver bits with 'Players Choice' on one corner. The rest of the box, like the back etc is silver too.

May changed for Cubeo though.

Hmmmmmm they always do and it's annoying. Still, you get the game.

I think if you look hard enough you can find some of those games now for cheap prices in the sales before they end. I know I might be picking up NNhl Hitz 03 pretty soon for £14.99.

If Wave Race goes on you should all get that.

In other news, I shall be taking back Burnout (even though I love it) and swapping it for something else from the shop I got it from at Christmas. I was thinking of getting Godzilla probably. Then when Burnout 2 is out I shall go and get that. So then I won't have Burnout and Burnout 2 and my Dad complaining "Don't you already have this?".

This isn't really new, we saw it on the N64.

But, good news all the same :-)

We need 3rd party titles in there too, like Tony Hawks 3, Burnout, Crazy Taxi, Spy Hunter and so forth that are out on Platinum on PS2. What would you rather buy, a console with full price games or a one where you can pick up the same game half price. Come on Ninty!

I'll get Wave Race, then Pikmin, probably, as I want Wave Race badly, as long as it doesn't have some weird silver case or something.
