Nintendo Super Mario Bro Game & Watch

[@lifeschool]

I was given Manhole for a holiday to Spain, and I've still got it somewhere. We are spoiled these days with multi-games systems but those LCDs you only got one game to play. I guess they could have made it a Game and Watch mini, with all the titles on there, but converting all those LCD games to modern graphics would take ages. The Mario Bros game is very good, and not so hard as Zelda or Donkey Kong. Lifeboat is another good one.

They've sort of done them all before with the GameBoy versions. They could just do an emulator for it and bring that across in theory. When it comes to the hardware I keep looking at the prices for some of the rarer ones and run straight away from ebay. One day I'm going to have a go with something like Donkey Kong and see how I go. Suspect after the launch of this they will just keep getting dearer.

@@Lorfarius There is a nice game and watch online emulator, which runs in your browser. There is also a nice emulator site called Mad Rigals. Maybe try before you buy.

@@lifeschool Good suggestion! Could save me a few quid :)

I've got one, it's a lovely unit but I kinda wish they'd just thrown another 10 game and watch games on there rather than yet another copy of super mario 1 on a device it's actually quite awkward to play on.

I'm hoping they do a Zelda one soon for the 35th Anniversary.
