cartman | 195 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 As a throwback to older days Nintendo will be releasing a G&W Super Mario Bros. same as the NES version in full color. Also included will be the Jap SMB2/"Lost Levels" that never got a Western release back in the day and the G&W game "Ball" but with a Mario character on the screen. Releasedate 13 Nov. and will cost 50$. Is it good or is it shite what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BortLicensePlate | 652 Graphics Team · Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I think it's cool they put the lost levels on there. Wonder how well the buttons work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Morbis | 2,092 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I'm also getting it 100% "fa' sho." I think it's awesome that they're releasing it as a Game & Watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,953 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I'm in, been since I saw it and what was on there. I'd definitely put the use into it, at least the main game and the Mario the Juggler G&W conversion too. I never liked SMB2j a lot, not so much the challenge, but I detest those random wind stages and a few other screwball random mechanics. I wish I could get two, just to keep one safe long term.

I believe it's a conversion of the very first Game & Watch Ball, not Mario the Juggler. They replaced Mr. Game & Watch with Mario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaryD | 237 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I am thinking about picking this one up. Not a huge Game and Watch guy but this is a good reason to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they could halfass it and just have Mario's head on Mr Game & Watch while keeping the no background style of Ball there. It wouldn't make a lot of sense but maybe they did, and one of those dozens of hidden eggs is the right background. Guess we find out in two months.

Brickman | 4,019 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Pre orders opened here on the announcement and sold out within the day. I am interested in grabbing one but not paying ebay scalper prices. I'm hoping I can grab one on launch day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 988 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 UK still has pre orders for everything. Including the G&W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw Game still has them, but it's about $112AUD to ship here which is like $30 more than retail here. Do you have any other retailer suggestions?
