Nintendo- Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.

Nintendo Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.

Description
Nintendo has revived its first mobile device, the crap-tacular Game & Watch.

For those of you too young or too faded-of-memory to know of the device, they were about the size of a four-bar KitKat, boasted a small LCD screen, a single game and whatever buttons were needed to play it. 1982’s Donkey Kong incarnation of the Game & Watch featured Nintendo’s first D-Pad and the company made wide use of the device in subsequent models and later on console controllers.

As the name implies, the device also functioned as a digital watch.

A favourite of the 1980s schoolyard, the Game & Watch range featured games starring characters that became Nintendo stalwarts. That the revival of the device coincides with Mario’s 35th birthday is no coincidence.
