It's a replica of the first Game & Watch unit, Ball. This is damn fucking cool.

I love that it got an ESRB rating.

Excited to see one of Nintendo's oldest characters get some respect, as if he didn't get enough service already.

I'm 33% of the way there. Looks I may be ordering Black and White, and giving one to my sister as an early birthday present.

Up to 570 points... running out of options, do they just give points for games and the occasional survey or is there more to it?

Games, surveys, and system registration. There are also bonus points offered for various things. For example, buying and registering a game within a week or two of release is 10 extra points, and stating your intention to buy a game 2-4 weeks before release is worth another 10 points if you end up buying and registering it.

I forgot I never registered Epic Yarn or FlingSmash so that's 100 more points, plus 20 more in a couple weeks. I may have to order Black AND White...

Haha, dam right! On a serious note, it sucks hard that we have no Club Nintendo here in Norway.

I just read the interview yesterday -- a marvelous retrospective of the Game & Watch from the creators:

I read that interview too. Pretty cool. The good old days, when everyone did everything. IIRC, Miyamoto had almost no programming experience when he designed Donkey Kong.

I have a Mickey Mouse juggling panorama game & watch (Christmas 1986). I don't think I'll indulge in this one,,,I'll wait for the chicken egg game that I lost somewhere.

Well, I just got my Game & Watch in the mail today. I even tried the thing out. I'll have to take pictures of it and show you guys later.
