    Default Nintendo Mini Classics?

    I spotted these at Wal-mart today, there about 3x2 small painted screen. They had DK jr., mario,and a bunch of others. They wanted like $7 a piece for them so I didn't pick any up. I have not seen these anywhere else, and when I did a quick google search I just got old asian and europien pages from 1998. Anyone seen these or have any info on them.

    Yeah, I saw those at my local Wal-mart as well. I didn't buy any though, cause I think $7 is a bit high for what they are selling...

    Sorry I don't have any info, I think it's just Nintendo trying to cash in on the classics(Yet Again!)

    Are those the little tiny Game & Watch remakes that look like Gameboys? If so, those games have been around since at least the early '80s. The Super Mario Bros one plays exceptionally well.

    We only have one left at my Kmart and it's DK Jr. I missed out on the Mario. And I plan on getting the last one but I'd like to find the rest. $5.00...

    The Zelda one (and a few others) retained the dual flip screens, never saw one in person though. Great as a keychain, doesn't seem as 'neat' as the originals though.

    No, and Super Mario Bros. in particular doesn't play as well as the original, either. The control seems less responsive than it was in the Game + Watch. The tiny, tiny screen doesn't help matters much, either.

    Is it really true that there are dual screened keychains? I never saw any of those! Sure would love to have 'em, though... I used to have the Donkey Kong II G+W but it's been lost to the sands of time. Do you have any pictures of them?

    Just this one that shows the most detail, the rest that Google coughs up are small and in packaging, for online stores and such.

    I got that one from a friend in France last year, and saw the Zelda one while I was there at a Virgin Megastore in P_aris, but it was 15 Euros, so I didn't bite.

    They are all over, the Smurfs was released in England.

    Take 2? Yuck! Those awful Rockstar people are selling the games overseas!

    I still want one, though.
