Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros (Nintendo Switch)

Pretty cool for the price, and something to trust with Nintendo's name behind it. Nice controls with rubber buttons. I do wish it had SMB3 as that would make it a lot more replayable. It has USB-C charging which is cool as usually these things take basic batteries and they die and I can never be bothered to use it as it keeps wasting the batteries, but this is simple and easy charing. And because it has an internal battery it is basically always on, you just turn the screen off and come back paused exactly where you are. Also the clock mode, it could essentially be used as a static clock if you leave it charging. The cool thing is mario and sometimes luigi run around at the bottom and smash the digit blocks away when the time changes. They sometimes do rare stuff like moonwalk and go down the pipe into a water world. But whats cool is you can hit buttons to spawn enemies and the legit AI tries to avoid them which is kind of cool. Not bad for £40. I wish there were more of these things. Having something completely standalone with no updates, logins, accounts, connectivity, just turn on and go is rare these days and actually quite refreshing. The thing is tiny as well so could easily be in a pocket as its at least 75% smaller than the average sized phone, it fits entirely in my palm for example. No headphone slot but you can turn the volume all the way down, it also has brightness adjustments and a battery indicator.

I didn't get this device when it was first released by nintendo, so i was amazed to see Amazon EU still have these in stock. The device arrived safely, well packaged and in perfect condition. Im pretty sure all the other reviews have covered what this device is and what to expect. Retro gamers will be happy with this for sure. Quality is top tier as per Nintendo. Great screen, great controls and three awesome games. Highly nostalgic. The only concern i had was the amount of time this device would have been sitting in a warehouse with a depleting battery. The battery was discharged on arrival but a full charge and it seems to be good. Currently testing the condition of the battery by giving it a few run throughs as i play the games… so far, so good. (Li ion batteries can become degraded and a safety circuit can prevent further charging as a safety measure if a device if left long enough in a discharged state :/)

Like some of the other people who have written reviews I was never privileged enough to own a Game & Watch back in the day but did get to play with someone else's. When I saw this I had to have it. Don't regret my purchase at all. Super Mario Bros 1 & 2 are timeless classics that are perfectly playable in this compact form factor. The controls are crisp and responsive. The display is clear and bright. The unit itself has a classy retro-chic design which is lightweight but sturdy. It's genuinely surprising how much enjoyment you can get out of this little thing in this age of ultra HD graphics and smartphones with a 1000x the computing power of the rockets that took us to the moon. Perfect for carrying in a pocket to amuse yourself when you have a little down-time. Comes with a very short (less than a foot) USB-A to USB-C charging lead but no AC adaptor (let's face it, who hasn't got a million USB plugs now anyway).

Growing up I had the Zelda duel screen Game & Watch that I loved so I pre-ordered this delightful piece of nostalgia on the day it was announced. The unit has the look and feel of the classic 80's hardware albeit with the updated d-pad on the left side. I have not played Super Mario Bros in years and the game is a perfect replica of the NES original and plays very well on the hardware. The button placement is a little awkward for people with larger hands, being at the bottom of the unit, but I quickly got used to it. USB-C charging is a nice inclusion when some manufacturers are still including obsolete micro-USB on similar size/price devises. The inclusion of the real SMD2 is a nice addition since it was not released outside of Japan in 1986, and is tough compared to the first game. The unit also includes an updated version of the 'ball' the very first Game and Watch game, which is a fun bonus and fun to play in short bursts. For anyone that grew up at the time of the original NES I don't think they will be disappointed. Really hoping we get a Zelda one to celebrate 35 years in 2021 with Legend of Zelda and Zelda II The Adventure of Link.

This is very entertaining for die hard fans and retro gamers. It is small neat easy to play but not so if you have big hands. Unlike the originals you do not have the prop stand to have it upright next to your bed. Music is spot on and playing this does put a smile on my face and takes me back to my childhood. The only thing is, do I think it is worth £50? It is good but no it's light and feels like there is nothing to it, don't get me wrong it is well made but the price here is a bit of a cash grab using nostalgia. You may think different and that's great but to me and comparing it to other retro consoles like the Sega megadrive mini it's not a lot for the price. About half the price would be about right in my opinion but it is a lot of fun.

A good way to relive the game and watch times. It server also as a digital clock.

Alla spelar på detta. Bra ljud, bra bild. Väger ingenting och köpte till ett fodral för förvaring.

A DECIR VERDAD DE NIÑO NUNCA TUVE NINGUN VIDEOJUEGO EL PRIMERO QUE COMPRE FUE CUANDO TUVE 18 AÑOS Y HOY QUE TENGO 28 AÑOS ME AVENTURE A COMPRAR ESTE Y NO ME A DECEPCIONADO, INCLUYE 2 DIFERENTES VERSIONES DE MARIO BROSS COSA QUE NUNCA ANTES HABIA JUGADO Y ME ENTRETIENE BASTANTE,APARTE DE CONTAR CON RELOJ DIGITAL Y OTRO JUEGO DE MALAVARES, EL UNICO PROBLEMA QUE YO LE VEO ES QUE NO TIENE ALGUNA FUNDA O PROTECTOR PARA LA PANTALLA ESTARIA MEJOR SU HUBIERA POR PARTE DE NINTENDO ALGUNA FUNDA PARA PROTEGER LA CONSOLA FUERA DE ESO NINGUN PROBLEMA

A great video game that reminds you of your childhood days and works beautifully. Truly a trip down memory lane....:)

Fajny gadżet. Szkoda ze nie ma dedykowanego wspornika jak wersja z zeldą.
