    One of the nicest collectibles for those wanting some nostalgia for the original Super Mario Bros. Well built and love the fact that you charge it via type c. Screen is super clear. I guess my only complaint would be that it's fairly small for someone with big hands.

    As soon as I saw this was announced from Nintendo, I knew that I had to have it because I am a long time fan and also had 1-2 Game & Watches growing up. This modern version ditches the button cell batteries for a rechargeable one via USB-C. The speaker is loud and crisp and the display is quite nice to display the 8 bit graphics we are all fond of. The D-pad feels as good as you would expect from the company and for the form factor, and overall the device has a solid build quality. It feels good in your hand and is fairly easy to handle and play. Only downside is that there are a small set of games included; I feel that this device would have been worth the price of admission had they included SMB3. That would have completed the package in my opinion, but otherwise this is a great collectible for all Nintendo fans!

    Tons of fun with a great screen and lots of nostalgia. There is a cheat code for unlimited lives and yea I had to take advantage and save the princess again. I bought two so I could put one with my memorabilia.

    Includes 3 games: Game & Watch Ball Super Mario Bros. 1 Super Mario Bros. 2 Product is well built, might be a little too small and expensive for what it is. Highly recommended though for collectors and nostalgia.

    A must have for the Super Mario Bothers fan

    For $50 most would say this is a waste of money. Especially when one can play both versions on Super Mario Brothers on devices like the Nintendo Switch. For some that would be fine, but I find that when I play my Nintendo Switch, I find my self being distracted by other games to play. I applauded Nintendo for making a device that does one thing well; that is playing the original Super Mario Brothers. The device perfectly portable and I love the fact it can be charged by the same USB type C cable that many of Nintendo's newer devices are charged by. Less cables and chargers. Especially when one travels. Add in the that it will be nice collectible. For the Super Mario Brothers fan, it's a must have.

    This is for fans and collectors mainly. I like the two included Mario games. I grew up with the first game and have played the lost levels so I'm very familiar with them. They are kinda hard to play on this due to it's small size however, it's doable. The screen is clear and vibrant also has options to lower volume which sounds good considering its a very small speaker and brightness to conserve power. Which is charged via a usb-c cable that comes with it. Overall pretty neat if you like this kind of stuff.

    Most would probably say the price isn't worth what it can do but if you are a true fan it won't matter. Plays all 3 games fine, and the clock functions are cute.

    Being old enough to have owned many of the original Game and Watch systems, along with a lot of the knock offs, I couldn't turn down the opportunity to try this system. Lets get the bad out of the way first, this system is probably over priced for what it is. Then again, Nintendo knows it audience (and knows how to play on their nostalgia for everything classic Nintendo) and they knew they wouldn't have any problem selling these devices for $50. That out of the way, the packaging and build quality are great. I am no expert but I thought the emulation of the games is spot on.

    I grew up playing with the Game & Watch games so this little system is definitely a wonderful hit of nostalgia. Being a Nintendo product, it is definitely high quality and looks exactly like the old G&W systems. There are fun little Easter eggs and I am glad they included the true Super Mario Bros. 2 game. I feel it is a little pricey at $49.99 as I believe it is more appropriate at $39.99, but that is just my opinion. I was so happy when this was announced and I don't regret purchasing it. This little system looks so good next to my old G&W games.

    Nice little device I wish it had Mario 2 the one where u can choose toad or princess and other characters. Mario 2 included here are the lost worlds? Still legit AF I bring this bish to work and use it a “clock” one think that makes it NOT a 5star is that it doesn’t have a stand but that’s ok….. I place it against the computer monitor and enjoy the clock. Small enough to sneak the game in ur pocket and play while customers at work are talking bla bla bla! I pull this baby out and they quickly shut their traps and wanna play the game! Customers be Like where u get that? Let me see that…. Omg I remember this they love it and so do I. My kids are retro as hell and they fight over this. Will be getting the device with Zelda

    Great for collectors. It is not even a casual gamer item to me. It does have some novelty value. I'll add it to my desk as a fun clock and a conversation starter but nothing else. It will probably go back to its box eventually. Not a limited item neither so it might not be good as an investment if that's what you're looking for. An all-around well-built nostalgic item, with great battery life, and a historic piece in Nintendo's console development process.

    I have really liked using this as a small game console to help pass the time, and as someone who likes this era of Nintendo games/ history, it is a great collectors item. A bit pricey at full price, but if you can snag it on sale I think it is a fun little time killer. I was quite surprised at how high quality the screen was on it, and it can go for a long time without charging. All in all if you like Mario you will enjoy this

    a collective memory of those post-70s/80s kids

    this “game and watch: super mario bros” console has a combination of classic design from “game and watch” and nintendo famicom, red casing, golden metal plate, black d-pad, grey option buttons, as well as red round game buttons; also, this console has exactly the same size as classic “game and watch”, nintendo fans must love it! it includes the “ball” game, which was the very first game of “game and watch”, but the character in this version became mario! so it’s a combination of “ball” (1980) and “mario the juggler” game (1991) the “ball” game plays with only 2 buttons (left/right), i could either control it with the d-pad (left/right) or a/b buttons, or even combination of d-pad/a/b buttons there are also 2 super mario bros game included, however i found i’m too old to play mario bros in such tiny 2.5 inches screen, so i sticked only to the “ball” game, i believe “game and watch” console is only good for “game and watch” games, or else it would be a pain in playing much detailed game with it, no way enjoyable to me i was going to use it as a desktop clock when i ordered it, i even prepared a console stand for it! however, i just found it would turn off automatically after 3 minutes idle, unless i plug in the usb-c cable, i was quite disappointed about it, i don’t want a wired clock! it’s quite enjoyable to watch the clock screen running, good way to kill time in watching mario/luigi run around the screen, i found i could create more enemies to make mario/luigi busy by pressing game control buttons, it’s very funny, you should try it there may be surprises when minute changes, also it will show different goodbye screens before it sleeps £49.99 is not cheap for a simple game console like this, but it’s definitely a collective memory of those post-70s/80s kids

    More fun than I thought it would be. Cool low tech/high tech item. Low tech being not connected, only has a couple games, etc. but a very high tech little package. Great for you if you are an old schooler and don't need 1000's of games, etc. I was on the fence for a long time and finally accumulated enough points to get this mostly for free. Worth it if you have rewards points to burn. $50 may be on the high side though.

    Great! It's pretty tiny, but is perfect to go into a pocket if you need something to pass the time someplace (like if you're in line for something). It's also a cool 35th anniversary Mario collectible! My only gripe is that if you want to see the initial screen that comes up when you turn it on (a cool custom Mario art), you have to reset the device. Other than that, pretty cool!
