The Game & Watch Is Returning With a Super Mario Bros. Edition
Nintendo has officially revealed the upcoming Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. in celebration of Mario’s 35th Anniversary. The new Game & Watch includes the original Super Mario Bros. title, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and a special version of the original Game & Watch: Ball that features Mario’s face. The Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. is being advertised as having a colour screen due to the fact that the original series of Game & Watch devices were in black and white. Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. Edition will be releasing for $50 on November 13th.
“This new collectable device is inspired by the original Game & Watch systems first released in 1980,” said Nintendo. “The original handheld device included a game, and could also be used as a watch to tell time. The original series sold more than 43 million worldwide. Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. features a modern plus Control Pad,” rather than directional buttons like most Game & Watch devices. This special edition Game & Watch apparently has 35 unique little touches to discover in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Mario.
Just like any other Game & Watch, the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. Edition will function both as a gaming device and as a watch. Of course, this is already expected from the name of the device, but the clock will be based on the original Mario Bros. aesthetics and will include various familiar faces from the original two games. At this point, there are many ways to play the original Super Mario Bros. and The Lost Levels, but this is surely the perfect new collectable for fans of the Game & Watch series.
