Game & Watch Collection Review

A retro return to the golden game & watch days

Almost 25 years on from the Game & Watch epidemic, Nintendo has turned three Game & Watch titles (out of around 59 handheld games) into one DS game card - magic! - and packed them up something lovely, in a Famicom gold case, for the delectation of the many Japanese Club Nintendo members who have vast reserves of Club Nintendo bonus points.

We have Oil Panic (not literally), Donkey Kong and Green House. Of course the big draw here is to see Jumpman get the girl, but Oil Panic's game of fire aversion and the spider baiting Green House are also charming reminders of how simple things were in ye olde games. Simple, yeah... and, in a nice way, really quite crap.
