      I absolutely love this Zelda Game and Watch. Living in a space as small as the typical $100,000 a month bread box that is a Manhattan apartment, it’s practical and the closest thing to having an arcade 1-Up. I look forward to the inevitable Donkey Kong and Kirby Game and Watch devices.
      Having it made me miss my Gameboy Micro, but then I remembered that there’s Switch lite.
      Great Stuff, as always.

    I am looking to get the G&W as a middle ground. It is a collectors item that is actually playable. You take it off the shelf once in a while, play the games, and put it back up. I think there is enough content here for that and as a conversation piece. It is not nor is it intended to be an everyday handheld gaming solution. Judge it for what it is and what it is trying to be, rather than for what it isn't.

There always seems to be a caveat such as screen tear,small battery life and or janky low fps. I carry around a Gameboy micro with a flash cart but I'm really looking for something that form factor that plays all snes games and arcade games well.I own the pocketgo,pocket go v2, digiretro boy and soon the powkiddy a66.

    At risk of sounding like "one of those" guys...I prefer using my PSP and 3DS XL (not the new) for my emulation needs. Yes, there is a bit of awkward navigation at times to get to the emulator of choice for my games, but I just love how the official consoles feel, and I know that they are durable. The emulator devices mentioned are PERFECT for those that aren't nerdy/geeky....um, brave?... enough to hack/mod their own devices. The UI experience is generally far more streamlined for aesthetic purposes to make the overall use far more enjoyable. The collectable items from Nintendo, as much of a missed opportunity as they are, are excellent collectors items. Honestly would love to get my hands on one of them. I just rather spend my money else where for a far more engaging experience.

    • @Rocky2418
      @Rocky2418 2 роки тому

      Same here. Though for me, I bought this almost entirely for the original version of Link's Awakening (my favorite Zelda game). I know many others would've preferred the DX version - but that was already made available on the 3DS VC, which I have. Whereas this is the first time the original version has ever been made officially available since the original release. And since I have a lot of nostalgia tied to playing it back in the early '90s (plus, with the exception of the color itself, I actually don't like some of the added stuff in the DX version), I was very happy they included that version. No, it's probably not objectively worth the $50 price point. But for me, for the reasons mentioned, it was. I'm definitely enjoying it. :-)

    This is not a "gaming value" its a collectors piece.
    I highly recommend the new revision of the retroid pocket called the retroid pocket 2+. It supposedly plays up to some gamecube, so portable Zelda WindWaker is possible.
    I think the game and watch would have been perfect if they left out Link's adventure and added in link to the past. Also, I agree they should have used the "DX" version of Link's awakening.

    I bought the Zelda Game & Watch to play the games on it. I wasn't disappointed. I absolutely love it. It's a way better value than the Mario one was, that's for sure.
    Also, "knock-off Game & Watch?" Don't you mean "knock-off Game Boy Micro?" And it doesn't take inspiration from the Game & Watch, it takes inspiration from the Famicom controllers, hence the big Roman numeral "I" in the corner, because it's the Player 1 controller.

I'm actually playing Minish Cap on it ATM; t's been a blast.

    I might be getting a second hand Zelda G&W, it is a very cool type of clock, also nice to have as a stand with idle clock animation, or play Zelda on when you want.
    i like the form factor, not sure how comfy it will be after a long time.
    but I got handheld emulation coverd for most part but its split up in 2 consoles for diffrent purposes, GBA DS & 3DS runs perfectly on 3DS console.
    So i softmoded my 3DS witch can run, GB, GBC, GBA, NES, NDS & 3DS ( it can run SNES, Genesis and some more emus but i don't use it on that system cuz they ran bad).
    I also use a softmoded PS Vita for Vita games , PS1 roms & PS1 roms converted to PSP eboot roms, PSP roms , SNES, Genesis, N64 ( a few), NES, & it also run other random games like Heroes of Might & Magic 3, Doom (1,2, Final ) Another Metroid 2 Remake and some japanese translations from PSP etc.
    that GB Micro looking console with 4 buttons the bigger one looks kinda nice tough, I used to own a GB Micro in the past, played it alot with Advance Wars 2.

    I think the reason they used the original GB version is because they didn’t want to have to find a workaround for the GameBoy printer functionality, and they wanted to keep the colored armor and color dungeon exclusive to the $60 version.
    Same with the Oracle Games and link cable compatibility.

      I like smb2j, but there's a reason why it was replaced with doki doki panic. The difficulty wasn't the only factor, but the fact that it's too similar to smb1 was as well.
      Smb3 has the same core gameplay as smb1 but it's still completely overhauled with new features, and tighter gameplay, not just smb1s engine with new levels
