Customer Ratings & Reviews

Game & Watch looks beautiful and has two fun challenging games to play, along with Ball as a little bonus. The clock screen and animations are perfectly designed as well and it’s an awesome looking device overall. Only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is that the clock functionality is kinda useless since the screen turns off after 2 minutes of inactivity and there’s no way to prevent that unless the device is connected to the charger, and the cable is extremely short as it is.

Got it fast at Best Buy in Watertown. I thought I would like the games the best especially the Lost Levels but I ended up liking the watch and the little secrets the best. I keep it plugged in using USB-C next to my gaming laptop. Love it! Best birthday gift EVER!

To be honest, I didn't even open it :) The retro gold packaging and clear sleeve is nice touch! Definitely an item to have in the collection, though Game & Watch was slightly before my time.

It is well worth it if you enjoy the original Super Mario Bros. It comes with 3 games loaded on it and has manual options for volume and screen brightness, the screen is very bright!

I used to own a 1980s Game & Watch Popeye. New one does not feel premium, solid, and heavy as old one. The new one does not have built in stand for watch either. Made in Japan vs Made in China.

this console is awsome! is thin and light, perfect to bring in your pocket. cames with a usb-c cable to recharge.

It's better than i expected! it have 3 games in one: super mario bros, super mario bros 2 and mr game and watch classic

Nice game watch super mario Love... Good service pick up on bestbuy

An amazing childhood memory to own and to share with your child. Worth the purchase

It’s well built, it is the same form factor as the original one from the 80’s and battery lasts a long time. It’s honestly very cool to see hardware like this pop up on the market from Nintendo. (I was born in the 80’s and grew up with the Game & Watch LCD Games, alongside the NES and Super Mario Brothers. This hits the “nail on the head” (so to speak) for my age range and for the nostalgia factor. Great Great Great Product, get one if you can.

Nintendo channels it's legacy with a perfect stocking stuffer. You can be assured of high quality product here along with amazing packaging. It comes with 3 games and has manual options for volume and screen brightness. It also uses USB-C for recharging the unit and has a battery indicator on the screen. The clock itself has Easter eggs that many Nintendo fans will enjoy. In addition, there is a secret on the clocks menu, where if you hold the A button, you will be taken to the "Drawing Mario Song", from Flipnote Studio 2010. The only thing missing was the kickstand like the original G&W had. Highly recommended and a good get for collectors.

You get Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 2 (Japan version). Lots of fun to be able to pick up and play quick. Screen is vibrant and clear. Screen is small if you are used to playing 3DS or Switch in hand held mode, but you get used to it quick. Light weight and fits in your pocket better than your phone. A little pricey, but that’s Nintendo for you.

I've had this Super Mario Game & Watch for a little over a month so far, and it is a very nice way to pass the time. For its small size, it has a very sharp and bright screen. Only 3 games, but with Super Mario Bros. 1 and 2, plus Ball, they are quite fun to play. Also love the watch mode, with Mario counting the time as it passes. Battery life seems pretty decent too, although that will depend on the screen brightness, and how often you play it. I've played it a few times so far, and have only charged it once to date. It includes a micro-USB cable to charge it with. I do think Nintendo could have done something like price it at $35 for Mario's 35th anniversary, but I'm not really complaining, as it does still seem to be a pretty good value overall, especially when you consider its potential collector status down the road. Overall, a great job from Nintendo.

I grew up borrowing Game & Watches from friends and played Super Mario Bros. with our first Nintendo System. This device had me nostalgic twice over in a single device. I guess Nintendo fans would purchase this as a collector's item (as I did). It doesn't offer much gaming wise. Build quality is good, sound can be loud (and annoying in Watch mode). Controls are small and uncomfortable after playing long hours. The screen is really small though -- but better compared to playing Lode Runner on an iPod Nano screen. If only Nintendo would offer uploading of other 8-bit games then this device would be a steal for its price.

I really like the Game and Watch. I bought it with the other Mario anniversary items such as Mario 3D All-Stars and the anniversary coin set. The game and watch is good quality with a great clear and bright screen. The battery life is pretty good lasting a few hours if you play games or weeks if you use it for the watch aspect. The game and watch has Mario 1 and Mario 2 (the lost levels) and ball toss. One thing I didn’t like is it didn’t come with a kickstand like the original game and watch’s did. You’ll need to buy a display stand or something to keep it upright.

This device is more than just a nostalgia gimmick amid the recent next-gen consoles releases. Sure, this can't compete with them, but it wasn't meant to compete against any next or even current-ten consoles. This little device encapsulates the essence of what made gaming great in the first place; it's a revisitation of Nintendo's glory days as they single-handedly saved a dying video game industry in the 80s. You could own history books that detail video game history or you could own of these beautiful devices that pay homage to both "Super Mario Bros." and Nintendo's first voyage into the video game industry with their "Game & Watch." The device itself comes in a highly portable size that is reminiscent of the critically underrated (albeit understandable) Gameboy Advance Micro, but its screen size is bigger and brighter. It certainly doesn't put too much strain on the eyes. I won't speak about build quality or other technicalities, but the G&W certainly feels as a product of the 2020s where mass production is chosen over legacy quality (it's not a premium device, but it doesn't feel cheap either). You'll enjoy this little gadget and it is the perfect gift for the holidays. Nothing beats having an isolated gaming system without need to connect to the internet or create accounts, etc. It's just a ready-to-play console with one of the greatest classics in history. I have honestly been playing with it everyday since I go it, even if it's for a few minutes. If you do beat it, you'll probably feel any "Souls" game is a stroll in the park compared to this classic...

Way too expensive if you’re not a collector. As a collector myself, I love this little pocket toy. The device shell has an expensive, quality feel to it. It has a bright screen, but may be too small to make out what’s going on without holding it close up to your face. The sound gets fairly loud but is pretty poor quality. A major drawback is the two buttons; they are connected underneath, very mushy, and don’t feel at all satisfying to press, and They’re just far apart enough to be annoying when trying to run + jump with Mario. I don’t need to discuss the games it comes with as they have been around for decades and have plenty of releases and reviews elsewhere.

My grandson loved it. Was a great Christmas present.

A neat, well-built device with some fun nostalgia. I think it makes more sense as a collector's piece than an actual value - there are so many ways to play Super Mario Bros 1 and Lost Levels, including on Switch Online or the virtual consoles of any number of Nintendo's past offerings. I also think a big opportunity was missed to include the actual Super Mario Bros Game & Watch game - which in many ways was the most ambitious and most impressive Game & Watch title - rather than the reskinned version of Ball that is included. The presentation and packaging is very nice, but it feels a few steps away from being as neat as it could have been for Game & Watch fans.

Quality all around. Nice display and long battery using a usb C connection. Extremely small so it's very portable. The screen has no protector so you may have to buy a glass screen protector for major kid use. Includes three games and is user friendly for kids from 4-5 and upward. I use it sometimes more than my kid. It's worth the price for collectors as well. This is a limited product from Nintendo so buy while you can.
