List of Classic NES Series games facts for kids

Those who bought all the games in one series could order a special collection box from Club Nintendo.

This is a list of games that are part of the Classic NES Series in North America, Famicom Mini (ファミコンミニ, Famikon Mini) in Japan, and NES Classics in Europe and Australia. The series consists of emulated Nintendo Entertainment System, Family Computer, and Family Computer Disk System games for the Game Boy Advance.

A special edition Game Boy Advance SP that has a similar color pattern to an NES controller (along with a Famicom counterpart in Japan), was released to go along with these games. In Japan, the color of the cartridges often matches the color of their original Famicom cartridges, but in North America, all the games in this series were released in a light gray cartridges made to resemble the default color of NES cartridges.
