Classic NES Series

The Classic NES Series in North America, Famicom Mini Series in Japan, or NES Classics in Europe are a series of Game Boy Advance games that were originally released on the Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom remade for the Game Boy Advance. A special edition Game Boy Advance SP, which has a similar design to a NES/Famicom controller, was released to go along with these games.

All of these games were released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Famicom in Japan.
