    An effective homage to Mario and the Game & Watch.

    The Mario 35th Anniversary Game & Watch is effectively a compact yet bountiful homage to the original Game & Watch system. The device is a lot smaller than the photos suggest, yet it does not hinder the enjoyment of the device. The LED screen looks very nice, the speaker plays loudly and accurately, and the controls feel very clean. This device has many hidden features and Easter eggs too. As a hint: If you hold the ‘A’ button down for 5 seconds when starting a play session on the original Super Mario game, you will obtain infinite lives. These kinds of details are what draws Nintendo fans like me to relish in their rich history throughout gaming. For any fan looking to add to their collection, here is your gateway drug. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

    Great little piece of retro gaming tech! The device itself is small, light and yet very functional. The screen is vivid and bright. Super Mario Bros is one of the most important games ever made and still a timeless classic. My only issue is that there isn't much to come back to after playing SMB and the insanely difficult true version of Super Mario Bros 2. If they had put a few more games on there it would have greatly improved the lasting value.

    I'm a huge Nintendo fan and was thrilled to get my hands on this piece. It's a small, pocket sized and feels like a huge upgrade from an original Game & Watch. - not to mention the battery lasts multiple days. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who's a Mario fan.

    Honestly, I've played this for a total of 2 hours before forgetting where I put it. With that in mind, I'm still glad I bought it. Once i find it, this little doohickey will look great on a shelf with all my other portables. And it will look great on your shelf too!

    Old school collection. I have previous game & watch and this one was a must have. I am a super fan of Nintendo and collect its items. Gameplay is great, I wish it was a little bigger because of my big hands. Who doesn't like super mario bros?!?

    I love this thing! The screen quality is fantastic - way better than what it looked like in the videos from Nintendo. Playing Super Mario Bros is a blast as always. The clock mode is neat and fun to play with too. Good build quality. Battery life is excellent.

    Fun little clock that can also play games. I have this hooked up to my switch dock so that the screen can stay turned on 24/7. Acts as a clock in my TV media cabinet. Next to my mariokart live kart haha.

    Santa got this for the kids (8,12,13) and everyone plays it. It’s a small slick little design, and the controls are very responsive for the platforming aspects of Mario. Really cool little toy. It was much smaller and lighter than I thought it would be.

    Great to carry and play casually as a throwback to Nintendo's Game and Watch handhelds. I love that it doubles as a clock, and you can keep it plugged in via USB to keep the screen on 24/7 so you can use it as a desk clock if you wanted to.

    Nintendo did a great job in bringing back this retro system. The screen is clear and sharp, the speaker is loud and the controls are comfortable. It is great to have these two incredible games in this release. Very happy with this portable.

    Brings back a sense of nostalgia when playing. Nice sized hand-held game system that's easily portable when you're on the go. There are a total of 4 different games to play so you can be entertained for hours.

    So cute and so fun. We've all played Super Mario Bros. on every conceivable platform. But is so cool to have light and easily carryable! And its built impeccably! Only wish there was an option for the clock to stay on and maybe dim all the time.

    A modern rendition of Nintendo's early portable game systems that paved the way for everything (Nintendo) we love today. Tiny, lightweight with a bright screen, absolutely beautiful! This is one of those things you just have to purchase.

    Awesome, but lacking in features

    This is an awesome little novelty, but it’s really lacking in features and games. Nintendo could have easily loaded the entire Super Mario Bros. NES games library on here and they didn’t even do that. You only get three games, two of which are essentially the same. And a Game and Watch game that’s incredibly boring. Overall, nice novelty with solid build quality, but for $50 it ain’t worth it.

    A great little memorabilia piece that any Nintendo lover would enjoy. Don't let its small size fool you, it has amazing build quality and packs a beautiful screen. It's very thin too, easy to put in a coat pocket for example.

    I love this device, battery life is excellent, sound is great better then the switch. I love how if you hold the A button at the Mario title screen you unlock the unlimited lives feature. Right now I have it plugged into the USB port on the side of the TV using it like a clock. Keeping it plugged in makes the screen not time out. My only gripe is the price should of been $20 less

    Definitely made for the Nintendo collector. The games included are available on plenty of other platforms but this is one cool handheld. The screen is beautiful and the controls are solid. Hope we see more releases in this format.
