"...screen size, both of the Super Mario Bros games are really easy to play on the system...." Read more

Now that I've had it for about a week, I can say, for a fan like myself, it was worth the $50. Holding the Game & Watch in my hands when I first opened it brought a HUGE RUSH of memories of me playing Parachute as well as the memories of my grandparents searching all over the place to buy and gift it to me almost 40 years ago. Not gonna lie, I cried. This alone confirmed it was worth the purchase. And while I haven't been playing SMB1 too much, I've been addicted to the SMB2 as I never had a chance to play it when I was younger. The physics of Mario moving are exactly as I remember, which is something that can't be said for the versions of SMB1 and SMB2 included with Super Mario All Stars for the SNES/Wii, you know the brick breaking "bug".
Ok enough of the nostalgia, let's quickly go over the device itself and the games. First of all, the LCD isn't bad. It's not great, but not bad. It is clearly a TN panel as the vertical viewing angles are pretty horrible. Luckily, it's so small that you probably will never be viewing it off angle in the vertical axis. Horizontally, it fares much better off angle. It is small, but not too small at 2.36". I haven't noticed any ghosting, but if I look closely, I definitely can see the pixels, so the DPI isn't the best either. However, it's perfectly reasonable for games that weren't high resolution to begin with. The display does seem to be stretched horizontally just a little bit, the screen probably isn't the exact aspect ratio of the original game as the blocks on the screen aren't perfectly square and the mushrooms look a little fat to me; this is a little annoying but does not affect game play at all. My 40+ year old eyes aren't what they used to be, but the display is big enough for me to play without any hindrance. The only thing I can complain about are the parts of SMB2 where there are leaves blowing on the screen to suggest there is wind; the leaves are very hard for me to see. But the audio gives cues that there is wind as well so it wasn't a huge drawback. Besides that, I have nothing to complain about with the display.
The controls are great. While the DPAD isn't as big as the original NES controllers, it's plenty big for me and feels solid and responsive. The B and A buttons, in addition to the game/time/pause/set buttons, feel just like how I remember from my Parachute G&W. The unit was a little light on weight, but that feeling could be because I'm not 7 years old anymore. The biggest complaint I have is that the unit does not come with a kickstand like Parachute did so it cannot sit upright on my nightstand while in watch mode.
The games, as mentioned before, seem to be exactly like the originals except for a couple really welcome additions.
1) While you can't save the state, you can pause a game and come back to it at anytime. This is on a per game basis, so you can have a paused SMB1, SMB2, and Ball all at the same time and switch between them to play any of them.
2) SMB1 and SMB2 has an option to have infinite lives. This feature was absolutely necessary for me to play and beat SMB2 as it is exponentially harder than SMB1
The watch is a fun addition, you can cycle through different backgrounds of the clock by repeatedly pressing the time button. There are also some other easter eggs for the watch with various button presses I'll let you figure out.
And finally Ball, while it's not as exciting as SMB1 and SMB2, I love hearing the "tick tick tick" sounds each time an "LCD" animation moves, just like the original G&W games.
The battery lasts FOREVER. Their estimated 8 hours of gameplay is not exaggerated. I charged it full, played for 2 - 3 hours and the battery meter still showed over half. Keep in mind, I kept the volume and brightness low. Speaking of volume, if you're alone in a quiet room, the lowest volume setting is already plenty loud IMO. And at the highest volume, it's still very clear. The inclusion of a high quality USB-A to USB-C cable was a nice touch, and it chargers pretty quickly.
Overall, I can't recommend this little device enough, even at $50, BUT, with the big caveat that the Game & Watch plus Super Mario Brothers must hold a very dear place in your childhood.
The real treat here are perfect ports of Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 (aka The Lost Levels in North America). Both look and play just like their console counterparts with minor differences. I feel for those that have very large hands that this system would be a huge problem. It’s terribly small, so, if you have large hands I wouldn’t recommend it unless you would like to have it for the Clock display purpose, or, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Nintendo’s iconic plumbers who changed the video game industry forever!
In closing, this is a must have for Nintendo/Mario super fans! I would also recommend it for people who would just like to play the original games on a dedicated handheld. The build is exceptional, the screen is awesome considering its size and the sound is crisp and clean! Highly recommended!

En cuanto a la consola es ligera, portátil, el hecho de que se pueda cargar con cable USB-C es genial para su portabilidad en cuanto a gestion de carga, las bocinas integradas son buenas, aunque tampoco quieras subir mucho el volumen, los botones son de buena calidad, tengo manos grandes y la consola después de una "larga" sesión de uso podría llegar a cansar, pero lo veo más como un objeto de colección que de "juego" aunque por pura nostalgia podría usarla de vez en cuando.
Cabe recalcar que la había apartado cuando Amazon decía que se entregaría en Junio-Julio 2021, afortunadamente llego en Diciembre 2020, satisfeco con la entrega, paquete, en general todo bien!
