Nintendo Selects was a marketing label used by Nintendo to promote video games on current Nintendo game consoles that have sold well. Nintendo Selects titles were sold at a lower price point than other games.

In Japan, the discount label was introduced in 2015 for various Nintendo 3DS titles as the Happy Price Selection, although South Korea adopted the Nintendo Selects name at an earlier period. The Nintendo Selects program ended with the Wii U and 3DS, and as of January 2022, no Switch games have been rebranded as Nintendo Selects.

Many characters have goals or plot arcs that vary from series to series; for example, the Luigi's Mansion games focus on Luigi ridding his newly purchased mansion of ghosts, while Wario stars in games that center around his greed and desire for money and treasure.
