"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 and Game Boy Advance, games are marked in a yellow box on the top of the case. PAL region Player's Choice games have boxes that are colored silver or platinum with Player's Choice markings on the right hand side of a Nintendo 64 box or on the top of a GameCube box. Super NES games had the "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" wordmark written in gold (instead of the usual red) on the box, along with a "Player's Choice" seal. European SNES releases were labeled differently in various markets (such as "Mario Classics in Spain and Super Classic Series in UK, Netherlands and France). All boxes were overhauled in red except Disney games, which received blue boxes.
The Player's Choice line was introduced for GameCube titles in January 2003. However, the sales barrier for games was decreased from 1 million, to only 250,000. The first titles were ''

In April 2006, the "Player's Choice" label was applied to Game Boy Advance games, which sell for $19.99 in the United States.
