Nintendo Game & Watch History
Unboxing Game & Watch Super Mario Bros
Nintendo's Game & Watch series of handheld systems is making a surprise comeback this week, with a brand new Super Mario Bros. edition hitting store shelves Friday 13th.
This week has been an incredibly exciting one for gaming fans, with Xbox, PlayStation and (technically) Nintendo all launching new systems in the space of three days.
Now, it may not be a fancy pants, next-gen system like the Xbox Series X and PS5, but Nintendo's brand new Game & Watch: Super Mario Edition is still something to celebrate. The console sees the return of the company's classic line of handheld electronics which first released in the '80s, and is naturally the first console to arrive in the series for a very, very long time.
The new Game & Watch is out today, and while the poor folks in the US have had it rough when it comes to pre-orders, the console is scheduled to remain on sale until 31st March 2021. If you haven't managed to grab one for yourself just yet, keep trying!
As you'd expect, it looks like a pretty lovely little machine that's worth a look for collectors – even if it does come with an unexpected error.
