But it’s not just for show, since its quality, particularly its tiny screen, is much better than I was anticipating, which makes it an appealing way to play these decades-old games.Īs great as the colors and detail on the screen are, it does have a very narrow viewing angle. That means the value of the Nintendo Super Mario Game & Watch rests mostly on its novelty as a collectible – and that’s where it shines. You've definitely played at least one of these games, and maybe even all three, so there’s nothing you haven’t seen or had the opportunity to see before. 2 (AKA The Lost Levels) – and a special version of one of the original Game & Watch games, Ball. and its Japanese sequel, Super Mario Bros. Right off the bat, I’ve run into a big problem in how to recommend the Mario Game & Watch: Is it a clock with built-in games, or a game device that also tells time? Apart from the clock, it has two playable Super Mario games – the original NES Super Mario Bros.
While at the time of writing this, you still can't preorder this thing from US retailers, once it does go on sale, as far as I’m concerned it's worth plunking down $50 on this absolutely charming piece of Nintendiana (a word I just made up to classify the world of Nintendo collectibles). But for old-heads like me, the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 pale in comparison to the allure of the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. This year hasn't been great for a lot of reasons, but for gaming, it's one of the most exciting I can think of… maybe ever? The new-gen consoles are finally out and being anxiously scribbled on the Christmas wishlists of kids and grownups everywhere.
