It's a thing of beauty and I highly recommend it. This little peripheral brings Zelda, Zelda 2, and Link's Awakening! So much fun ahead!

Finds 1403: Game & Watch Super Mario Bros Edition

This is a pretty awesome Game & Game reimagining with comes with the classic Super Mario Bros for the NES. It's a gimmick, but a good one. It has definitely gotten a lot of love and hate for it. I love the design so it's a no brainer for me. Just saying...

Nintendo Game & Watch Super Mario Bros Edition!

As most of you may have seen or heard, this was released to the public. Overall, it's a very interesting gimmick that has already been hacked! I seen a couple of videos of people playing other games as well as a mod of running Doom on it. It's really something else but as with every new vintage console, we get to see them hacked in a matter of days. I will keep my eyes out on what happens to this one. Who knows, maybe it'll turn into an all in NES console hence the lack of controller buttons. 
The design is beautiful. It captures the essence of the old vintage Famicom as well as the Game & Watch handhelds. I remembered these handhelds quite well although I couldn't afford them so I had to get the knock off games which sucked ass! There was nothing like Nintendo back then, and that still holds to today. 
The handheld is only 49.99 and is available at multiple retailers so please don't bother feeding the scalper prices...they're just ridiculous...like really, get a real job! 
I hope this handheld is really successful so that we can get a line of Game & Watch series. Wouldn't that be awesome? As for now, let us all enjoy this wonderful 35 anniversary of Super Mario Bros.

Find of the Month (June)

With so many finds this month involving the pirate world of the Famicom and SNES, you would think one of them would take top honors but it's tough to be able to top kewl early Nintendo stuff like this. These three gems won top honors as they are not only quite pricey but quite kewl to have in your collection. You can always bring up the story of how Nintendo decided to go back to their innovative dual-screen idea to create the Nintendo DS. It was a good month but a whole new one starts and we are back to square one. What wonderful things await this month? Be sure to check them out!

Find of the Month (May)

It was a month with not that many finds but there were some that stood out after all we finally hit the big number 300 but none of those finds lived up to these little gems. The Game & Watch lot surely won top honors this past month by a long shot. Not only are they pretty tough to find in the wild but they are really unique pre-NES era items to own. If you ever run into them, I suggest you pick them up especially if you want to know where they got the idea for the Nintendo DS. It's pretty obvious huh? So there is not much more to say except to keep collecting!
