Game and watch Super Mario Bros. in stock at Walmart

Nintendo’s fall 2020 switch line may be a bit lighter than in previous years, but the company is also releasing a new handheld – sort of. Nintendo’s latest faux-retro machine is targeting a slightly different audience than the classic NES and SNES consoles, but it will likely remain a hot item this holiday season. The new Super Mario Bros. from the Game & Watch handheld released today, November 13, for $ 50. And like most of Nintendo’s non-standard physical products, it won’t be long. The company confirmed Game & Watch Edition: Super Mario Bros. will only be available until March 31, 2021 (or while supplies last), so you’ll probably need to pick one up pretty soon. And some retailers are selling out fast – but since our last update it’s available for purchase at Walmart.

This stylish new edition of Game & Watch features Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and the classic Game & Watch Ball (a juggling game). Ball has been modified to feature Mario himself, although it retains the black and white look of the original. It also has a Super Mario themed digital clock and a working alarm.

The Game & Watch charges via an included USB-C cable and runs for approximately eight hours between full charges. While it retains the general shape of other Game & Watch handhelds, the button layout is a bit different, with the A and B buttons on one side to support Super Mario Bros. controls. It should be familiar to anyone who has played the game on NES.

The new Game & Watch was revealed alongside many other Mario games and products to celebrate the mascot’s 35th anniversary, including Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.
