Once a first-, second-, or third-party
Nintendo video game sells one million copies, traditionally the game is re-released in a shiny new package (often featuring the color
gold) and is reduced in price by $20.00 to $30.00 for home console games and $10.00 for portable games. This policy is an excellent incentive to pick up games you may have passed on initially.
Nintendo Power magazine also often publishes a few pages of mini-coverage to mark the re-release as well. In some cases
Nintendo will also
re-release a game's
Player's Guide at the same time.
Nintendo Player's Choice Titles 1
Game Boy / Game Boy Color
Nintendo 64
Nintendo GameCube
1 I feel this list may be incomplete as the Nintendo website only lists re-releases from 1998 and beyond. Please /msg me with additions if you know of any (particularly for the Game Boy and Super NES).
