I got my Game & Watch SMB. Way smaller than I thought it would be, and no stands? WTF were they thinking
Also what a piece of shit, I already finished SMB1 in 5 mins?!

Clearly 0/10
@xianc78 already beat that years ago several times, but sure. Maybe with the infinite lives trick, otherwise, fuck that game lol

Somewhat disappointed they didn't include SMB2 and SMB3 at the very least

@coolboymew I'm disappointed that there is no alarm. I think a digital clock is useless without one and the lack of a kick stand means I can't put it on a nightstand or counter (places where putting a digital clock actually makes sense). So yeah the clock functionality is useless especially when literally every electronic device can tell time for decades now.

And forget hacking this thing. The pause button only pauses the emulator, so it would be useless in a game like Zelda when the pause menu brings up an inventory menu. Maybe you could change the actual emulator, but you still have to deal with the lack of a select button (I probably should've noticed that earlier).

I just hope Nintendo does the same thing for Zelda next year. I think a more full length game like Zelda would be more worth the price (even though I think the first Zelda game has aged terribly) and hopefully they will fix on the issues of this one.

@coolboymew And you can thank retarded revisionist YouTubers like Irate Gamer for making the US SMB2 look terrible otherwise they would probably included that instead of The Lost Levels.

@xianc78 SMB 2 USA is a FANTASTIC game and I ain't gonna hear otherwise from anyone
@coolboymew @xianc78 better audio due to FDS hardware and faster background animations, no glitchy eyes as well as less flicker, original content instead of mario.

Sure it's a better reskin than Super Mario 7 :granddad: but it's still a reskin with added limitations.
@hj @xianc78 Meh, just barely some little hardware advantage and that's it
@coolboymew @xianc78 It's the first game I ever beat, so I definitely have a lot of nostalgia for it. 4 playable characters back in the day was pretty damn hype, and those bosses were really cool.
@coolboymew @xianc78 Doki Doki Panic is a cool game even without the mario re-skin. I mean it has some of my favorite characters in the series.

Birdo and Phanto.
@ooignignoktoo @coolboymew @xianc78 I thought it was a shame how slow Phanto is in SMM2; but then I realised you can't drop the key, unlike in SMB2, so that would've been unplayable. lol
@ooignignoktoo @coolboymew @xianc78 For it being a ten second loop, I completely agree. Those few notes always struck me as having a lot of atmosphere, of mystery that goes great with a phantom mask chasing you for picking a key like it were some Indiana Jones-esque curse.
@xianc78 Yeah, no alarm is ehhhh

However I got in a buy in group for a 3D printed stand, so that'll be great and will be a great desk clock and decoration for the rest of my gaming shit

Otherwise, I can't complain too much since I unironically wanted this kinda shit for years, but they should have included SMB2USA and SMB3 at least

But yeah, a Zelda one will most likely have Zelda 1 and Zelda 2... I'd REALLLLLLY love ALTTP too, but that ain't happening is it? If we're lucky, Zelda Game & Watch

Also this thing needs an audio jack, but maybe I'm asking for too much. For SMB who cares, I have every notes memorized, but for longer Adventure games like Zeldas, that'd be nice
