Today marks the 45th Anniversary of the Nintendo Game and Watch. What began with Mr Game and Watch juggling balls became a huge sensation in 1980. Since then, Ball has been synonymous with the Game and Watch handhelds. It made a cameo as one of the treasures in Pikmin 2, and it was re-released on a few occasions, with the most recent re-release being a Mario-themed version as part of the Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary celebrations. Even more remarkable is that some people who know about the Game and Watch handhelds were not even born yet when Game and Watch hit the store shelves, and I was definitely one of them. Incredible, isn't it?
