Nintendo revives Game & Watch with new system featuring Super Mario Bros

In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros, Nintendo has launched a new novelty gaming system called the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.

The company previously released a series of Game & Watch devices between 1980 and 1991, combining a digital clock and a single game which are displayed in a basic LCD screen.

This time around it rolled out a gold and red model which can run several Super Mario titles with colour.

Quite nice for collectors but not at that price for regular joe

Can it run Crysis ... (asking for a friend)

Insane price for the average person, but for a collector probably worth it. They are R1249 on TakeALot currently for those interested. I am looking for an old Game & Watch Octopus, if anyone has one and willing to sell please let me know. Thanks

I think it was R30 back in 1982.

I had parachute and Octopus.
My friend had Donkey Kong with the double screen. Think it was R50.

You can play them all in a browser now for free.
There are exe files for them somewhere as well.

So, the clock is the selling point. Does it beat the X and PS5 with time accuracy?
