Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a very good system for nostalgia and mainly a collectors item. I feel this would also bring a little kid out there some joy. Its a great little system for what it is and made with quality highly recommended.

Very fun - love how it stores progress once the power is off, and returns where you left off when it's back on. Very compact (maybe a little too compact), good looking screen considering the size. Lots of fun.

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.

So much fun in this little game. My whole family plays it. My kids fight over it. Great little time killer. Stays charged for a long time. Can’t wait to see if it can be hacked to add other classics

This thing is a very cool little collectible for any fan of Nintendo, especially one that grew up playing the original Super Mario Bros games. Great colors and screen, games play very well. Highly recommend.

Super fun and easy to play on. The games play great and all of the buttons are responsive. The device is very well built and has a quality that most plastic products don’t have anymore.

This is an amazing throw back as well as a new edition to the people who could not experience this retro handheld. The retro handheld has also been updated to 2020 standards like the new color screen, D-Pad controller and USB-C charging. This is also a relatively cheap product as well. Highly recommended!

I remember having a few of these as a kid and can vividly remember playing with them in a simpler time before all the modern technological conveniences. This is pretty faithful to the original Game and Watch units that came out in the 80’s, but it does lack the little kickstand that the original ones had. That and this charges via USB-C instead of the classic button cell batteries of the original. Other than that, it’s pretty neat to be able to play a couple of classic Mario games, but still have it function as a watch (hence the name “Game and Watch). It’s a pretty awesome little piece of gaming history as this design is what later evolved into the standard gaming controller layout that we use to this day.

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.

It's classic Super Mario Bros. game that fits in your pocket. The display is really great and it's cool that it keeps track of your time as well. I really wish they would release more of these!

Love it! Game plays great and the clock is cute. The only thing that would make it better is if it had a stand or kickstand as part of the case. It reminds me of the original game and watch games.

Nintendo releasing this was a great surprise. It is light but doesn't feel cheap, has good battery life, and the screen has a good resolution and doesn't look bad at all. A must for any Nintendo fan.

First, kudos to Best Buy for awesome process on ordering hot item like this online. Shipping was fast too. Decided to order this because I wanted to give it to my son as cheaper option to play video game instead of letting him use our Nintendo switch plus nostalgic feel for me and husband. Nice and cute packaging, light and awesome portability could fit in your pocket plus it is rechargeable via USB-C port not like in the old school button batteries. Unfortunately we returned this to the store since we barely use it so waste of money for us especially during pandemic and screen was tiny (which is expected due to its size and portability). So if you got used to playing on bigger screen like on our phones or Nintendo switch or TV like us I won’t recommend it. It is an upgraded version of the old school but downgrade version of the current video game consoles in the market. Felt like it won’t last long if you play with it everyday.

Nostalgia pricing at its finest! I think $50 for this is a bit to steep for what it does. But it looks really cool, it feels really nice and that’s one of the reasons Nintendo priced it this way.

For such a tiny screen, it’s very playable and the features such as infinite lives and level select make it an ideal little pick up and play device. Great build quality and the design is perfect.

This is a nice collectible piece of fun. This unit has both the original Mario Brothers and Mario Brothers 2. Though this unit as a whole is a fun collectible, I also have to point out the gameplay deficiencies. The sound doesn't sound like the original NES game though it doesn't lag like the NES classic. Another thing is that there is graphic errors that show up on this unit that did not show up on the original NES game or the NES classic. I would say the emulation on this unit is actually a bit worse than the NES classic, though I'm pretty sure people are buying this for more of a collectible factor than actual function. The controls are actually fairly decent and functional as I got to world 8-2 on this unit which is pretty good considering how tiny this unit and its controls are. The screen is pretty decent and doesn't look blurry like some other emulation machines. For most people it would be an average rating, but for those that grew up with Nintendo I would say it's good. The range is more around 2-4 depending on how partial you are to Nintendo, your nitpickiness for proper emulation and sound, and how something controls.

Awesome product!! the screen quality is great. I love Nintendo & I love this product. Not just a great collectible but a great handheld system to play when bored or on the go. This is the best!!

I thought this was going to be more of a novelty toy and collector item, but I can't stop playing it. The controls are great and there is no lag that I can tell. The sprites look very sharp on the small screen. Colors are more vibrant than the NES classic version, which may not be accurate but looks pleasing on the small screen. The only thing I wish for would be an alarm function for the clock. The clock is a novelty but it does come in handy to see how much I stayed up past my bedtime. Probably not worth the money for everyone, but I think it's really neat and I've gotten more playtime out of trying to beat world 8 than many other full priced games I've bought.

This little thing takes my back about 25 years when I was playing NES before i got a super NES and N64. It really is incredible how easy it is to use and battery lasts a good couple hours!

What a great collector’s item! The screen is nice and bright while keeping the battery life pretty good. Not going to use it much but it is an awesome addition to my Nintendo collection.
