MegaManFan's Blog

Thanks for the review. I never owned a Game & Watch, but was certainly aware (and envious) of those that my friends had. I'm sort-of tempted to pick one of these up, but I was never an NES or Super Mario owner/fan, so the nostalgia factor ends at the Game & Watch for me. (Also, not a fan of D-pads, because the pad is always on the wrong side.  )

 

I think they missed a bit of an opportunity to include a bunch of the other original Game & Watch games on this as bonus content. But that's not what most people are looking for.

 

Since you mentioned it, here's a picture of an original box: https://www.handheldmuseum.com/Nintendo/Octopus.htm

 

And please buy yourself a better knife for opening boxes. It was kind of painful watching you stab through the plastic with that old steak knife.

I would have definitely given this a second look if it included a bunch of Game & Watch games, completely missed opportunity.

 

It actually kind of baffling it didn't include Super Mario Bros Game & Watch (1986) on the Super Mario Bros Game & Watch (2020)?!? I thought that would be a no brainer decision.
