Nintendo announces a 35th anniversary Super Mario Bros. Game and Watch
Ready to feel old" The Super Mario Bros. franchise turns thirty-five this year. The seemingly ageless mustachioed plumber has been part of our lives for a long time – you certainly don?t have to be a serious gamer to recognize Mario, Luigi, and many of the other characters who make up the larger Mario Brothers world. To celebrate the anniversary, Nintendo is set to release an updated version of the old Game & Watch handheld, that will play a full color version of the original Super Mario Bros. game, along with a few others, as detailed in the linked Verge article. The Game & Watch device is a true 80s artifact from the early days of video games, a precursor to the many handhelds that would come after, and, usefully, doubles as a functional and retro digital clock when not being used for gaming. Nintendo?s new Game & Watch will be available in November. Via The Verge.
