    If you're a long time Nintendo fan then this is a GREAT addition to your collection! The display is so colorful and bright for something so small, it's pretty incredible especially since it's so small. It's also got some great sound, I think it's mono but it's really good, they must've put in a decent speaker they would use in a smartphone. Just a warning there is NO way to add more games, the USB C port on the device only connects it to power and has no direct data lines to the SoC. But hey I'm more than happy to use this console for what it is.

    You can’t beat this thing! Very portable you get exactly what they show you on the package and it looks great. It’s not a bad price either for what you get.

    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.

    Great Collectors item that plays well for its size. Screen looks good. A little small but really is more of a display piece/collectors item.

    Better than expected. It's the real game with good sound and great picture. Very fun to play. Everybody should own one. The people complaining that they can't see the screen must be blind. I can see the screen easily from 20 feet away and read the clock. The price is reasonable for that you get. The battery life seems to be pretty good. You can save your game play and also get infinite life's with a simple code. You can warp to any world after you beat it, by, simply holding down B at the main menu.

    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

    Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. exactly what it says on the box, a small LCD game system that plays an excellent version of the original Super Mario Bros. The screen is tiny, but just large enough to be able to play well, and the buttons have excellent response. The overall unit is solid and has a high quality, metalic feel to it. In addition to the original game, you also get the Japanese sequel (Lost Levels), a Mario version of the Game & Watch classic "Ball", and a fun clock feature which has animations of Mario interacting with his foes. There are plenty of other ways to experience Super Mario Bros. and its sequels on a larger screen, so this won't appeal to everyone, but Mario fans will get a kick out of it, at least for a little while. At the very least it's a fun collectable to break out every so often.

    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.

    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

    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

    Nintendo Game and Watch Super Mario Bros is a great surprise for me. I'm impressed with how the games run and looks on That Small screen. It feels like I'm holding an original Game & Watch system. The device is lightweight, compact, and fits in your pocket comfortably. the controls are responsive and great. The price was slightly higher than I’d like to pay, but it can be worth it if you love to collect or try a new way to play a game.

    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!

    I love the Nintendo - Game & Watch Super Mario Bros. This is definitely a blast from the past and I knew this was popular in the 80's (which in the time I wasn't alive) but it is great to know and actually experience something that was from before and in a new way. I love all the animations on the watch and all the buttons are amazing, The buttons do not feel like it was cheaply made. There is lots of quality going into the device. I also love it how you can pause and take a break without losing your progress. Great Job Nintendo.
