Some of us just can’t get enough of Mario, NES and other classic games. Thanks to Nintendo, memorable titles over the years cease to die. And now, Nintendo’s new offering comes in the merging of two game classics: the many Game and Watch characters integrated in the Nintendo Mini Classics.

Nintendo Mini Classics are a series of small LCD game reissues of Game and Watch titles from the original line. Designed like a Game Boy, the unit has the usual A, B, Start and Select buttons. Each unit comes with a stand on the back and a keychain on its top left hand corner.Just like Game and Watch, these Mini Classics feature alarm clock functionality. It is currently being sold in an array of colors, varying from game to game. The selection includes Donkey Kong Jr., Mario’s Cement Factory, and Super Mario Bros.
Aside from Game and Watch reissues including Parachute, Octopus, Fire, Snoopy Tennis, Oil Panic (dual screen), Donkey Kong Jr., in dual screen and Donkey Kong Jr., Mario’s cement factory, Super Mario Bros., and Zelda Game and Watch, there are also original game titles. These include Carrera, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which is exclusive in Europe, Poker, Smurfs (two Europe exclusives), Soccer, Spider-Man, Star Trek: The Next Generation in both Single and Dual screen, Sudoku, Tetris, UEFA Euro 2008 and Yu-Gi-Oh.
Each Nintendo Mini Classics unit is powered by AG13/Button Cell/LR44 batteries which are already packaged in the mini gaming device.

Although these may not be as hi-tech as the Nintendo Wiis today, Nintendo Mini Classics are greatly addictive. Playing for minutes can turn into hours as you strive to get the highest score. Also, it is “mini” enough to be portable, making it a perfect device to kill time during your bus ride back home from office or school.
