I'm in heaven! Includes Donkey Kong, Oil Panic and Green House. Only available in Japan to Club Nintendo members, though.

I love Oil Panic, I have it sitting right here.

I'm surprised it took this long actually.

Me too!

selfish, I think it's only because it's more of a "special edition" moneyspinner type thing, a la the SMB GB Micro ltd. edition etc. If they release them all on one cart, there'd be nothing left to make money off!

I must have it. Look at that screen, it's just so old skool. I love it. They've even copied the label at the very top and bottom. How cool is that?!

I wonder if you can still set the alarm.

Yes you can! And it has Game A/Game B modes, as well as a "clock" mode where you can just sit there and watch it demo itself!

The detail on that is awesome. You can see the slight bleeding of the path of the characters. I love it.

They did some single screen game and watch games on the GBA. But they included old school look and an updated look. I think G&W for the GBA came with 6 games.

The GBA G&W gallery sucks the anus. mainly cuz the 'new' games included weren't G&W's many were as familiar with as the ones we saw before in the 4 or 5 original and colour GB ones that came out. IMO they were much better.

For those really 'interested' in G&W collecting there are several emulated version of each one around. Including all the original features like clock, time, game AB etc. This unfortunately also sucks the anus cuz its not portable.

Man I wish this game were available when sailing the seven seas...I wonder if it will ever reach the ocean.

The GBA Game & Watch gallery has all the games from the previous collections built in as unlockables!!

Yeah that is the one I wanted G&W 4 for the GBA.
