Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great piece of nostalgia. Great gift for any old school gamers.

Absolutely love it!!! Nostalgic, fun and playable anywhere...

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

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

I love how nintendo always design their package. This is a great handheld games to add to your nintendo collectibles. Color are vibrant and the time is awesome. The 3 games are awesome. But for the price I would say wait for a sale. But by then it would have sold out as i heard there weren't many to be sold and will run out sooner or later. At 50 bucks, it is close to the price of a classic snes and nes back when they were release. Battery life is good. Volume is controll on the screen rather than a physical volume rocker or button. It is charge with usb type c but no adapter. Sound is great not too low and not too loud. Overall it is a great gift for stockings this Christmas.

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.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION: Fantastic recreation of the original console, is fun to use, and a fantastic time killer. I recommend it for anybody who wants to experience one of Mario's first adventures on Nintendo's first handheld. THE GOOD (THINGS I LIKE): - Great Screen Quality: The screen is very clear, is bright enough, and has vibrant colors. Who could ask for anything more? - Great Emulation: The games are emulated very well. It genuinely feels like I am playing on an NES. - Easy To Use: All the buttons are clearly labeled, making it easy to navigate the device. - Suspending Games: I love how you can suspend any mode and return to it at any time. - Battery: The console has a great battery as far as I can tell. I was able to play the console for about an hour and a half without even using 1/4 of the battery. THE BAD (THINGS I DON'T LIKE): - Bad Speaker Placement: The speaker hole is located on the left side of the console, and I constantly find myself accidentally covering it up during gameplay. - Short Charging Cable: The charging cable is very, very short (I'd say about 3"), which is very inconvenient if you use a charging brick to charge the console. THE UGLY (THINGS I DON'T LIKE, BUT I FEEL SHOULDN'T BE HELD AGAINST THE CONSOLE): - No Kickstand: I never owned an original Game and Watch, but from what I've heard, the originals have kickstands. I feel this is a missed opportunity for this console, as this console is a way better clock than any previous model. - Doesn't Sleep While Charging: I accidentally left the console on all night because it doesn't go into sleep mode while charging, which might cause screen burn-in if you left the console on a pause menu. (It is still possible to manually power off the device after plugging it in using the power button on the side of the console.)

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 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.
