Snatch one of these adorable pocket-sized Nintendo handheld consoles before they're gone for good.
By Darryn Bonthuys on
Back in 2020, one of the coolest pieces of retro gaming history got a fresh lease on life: Nintendo's Game & Watch. Nintendo started with Super Mario Bros. and followed it up in 2021 with The Legend of Zelda. These limited releases haven't been manufactured in years at this point, but it's still possible to stumble on a sealed unit for retail price or less. Over at Walmart, you can snag both editions right now, and either would make for a great nostalgic gift this holiday.
The Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch is actually available for less than its $50 list price. You can grab the European edition for $40 or the North American edition for $44. The region doesn't really matter. The only noticeable difference is the rating logo (ESRB or PEGI) on the box. The Zelda edition (US) is available for $49. That's not really a discount, but it often sells for a bit more than retail price these days.
Out of the box, these units look pretty similar to the Game & Watch devices that were released over 35 years ago but have a much better and sharper screen (with color!), a rechargeable battery, a proper D-pad, and a digital clock.
The Super Mario version on sale has the classic gold and crimson Famicom colors and comes with Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and Ball (Mario version) installed on it.
For the Zelda unit, you're getting The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening installed on it. This model also has Hyrule green accents around it to help it stand out from the Mario device.
These also make for excellent gifts for the Nintendo fan in your life, and if you're looking for more Nintendo ideas, check out this combo deal on Super Mario Bros. Wonder plus a 12-month Switch Online Family membership, this highly detailed statue of Metroid hero Samus Aran, and this ele-fan-tastic Mario plushie.
We also have merch roundups dedicated to Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda.

Nintendo Is Launching A Super Mario Bros. Wonder And Pikmin 4 Double Pack
Despite 2023 likely being the last full year before the Nintendo Switch is replaced, there's a strong argument to be made that the console is having its best year yet. Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder will go down as two of the biggest games in series that have both been around for more than 35 years, and that really is just the tip of the iceberg. There's also more to come from Nintendo before the end of 2023, including a double pack that includes copies of Mario Wonder and Pikmin 4.

Boiling Point: Road To Hell, one of the most delightfully buggy games ever, returns this month
Opinions vary on whether 2005's Boiling Point: Road To Hell was ever, could ever have been, a good game. What's clear is that it was interesting, both as an early example of an open-world RPG and as an infamously broken example of Eurojank. Now it's getting a re-release in just ten days and I'm fascinated to know whether a Boiling Point with fewer bugs has anything to offer the world in 2023.

Nintendo took down the Super Mario Bros. Wonder Flower that said ‘fuck’
Nintendo doesn’t want its sassy flowers to say “fuck,” apparently. In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the world is filled with small talking flowers that cheer the player on and shout out all kinds of largely family-friendly quips. Yet on Oct. 16, a modder shared a video of one of the adorable characters saying “fuck” on X. Like the greatest of stars, the profane flower shone brightly, but briefly in the light. Nintendo took it down <a href=«https://twitter.com/ContendoYT/status/1714446621646193039?ref_src=» https:>just a day later

Super Mario Bros Wonder Dominates Japan In Opening Weekend
When it comes to certain AAA titles, we want to know just how well a game is doing as soon as possible after it launches. October 17-20th was one of the most packed release windows in 2023, as three AAA games were set loose upon the gaming world. While there will be some argument as to which is the “biggest one,” we already know the sales results for one of those titles, and now, it’s time to get a tease of one of the others. Specifically, Super Mario Bros Wonder has apparently done so well that Japan felt the need to show how much it dominated!
