In the early 1980s, Nintendo began releasing a series of handhelds. They were created by Gunpei Yokoi, who would go on to create the Game Boy. And now they are keychains!
The Japanese version of Club Nintendo flexes its clear superiority over its Western cousin with even more retro-flavoured fun for Platinum members. They’re getting a real Game & Watch LCD game of Ball.
Game & Watch, the handheld games created by Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi, are coming to Japanese DSi Ware. The series was recently released as a Club Nintendo DS cartridge dubbed Game & Watch Collection.
We told you to get those bootleg Game & Watch iPhone games before lawyers took ‘em down. Hope you heeded our advice. Because lawyers have taken them down.
No way in hell Nintendo will ever put games on the iPhone. Not even Game & Watch ones. Which is why, we guess, Mobile 1UP have stepped in and done the next best thing.
Ever wanted to play the Game & Watch game Octopus on your cell phone? Probably not, but at least one Japanese electronics alchemist has, resulting in this fantastic cellphone mod that not only works as a phone, but as a classic LCD diversion as well. Not only fun and functional, the device folds up nicely and triples as a total pussy magnet. Chicks absolutely dig Game & Watch enthusiasts. Look it up.

Sure, Japan’s DS TV Tuner looks nice enough, and sounds just as nice. Portable TV, a screen you can scribble dicks and moustaches on, it’s all good. Doesn’t explain why Japan went bonkers for them, though. This, however, does: it turns out when you get the package, you don’t just get a TV tuner, you get Game & Watch’s Fire along with it. As a bonus, you can play it on the bottom screen while you’re watching and listening to TV on the top screen.
