Game & Watch collection coming to the US?

Remember that awesome Game & Watch collection the Japanese Club Nintendo folks got? Well, it might be making its way to the States, as a listing for the game has popped up on the ESRB site. Of course, we're incredibly excited.

Aside from Exclamation Warriors and Tingle's Balloon Fight, the Game & Watch collection is our most wanted Club Nintendo goodie. So, we hope this happens sooner rather than later.

Holy fucking shit, yeah!

Omg, Game & Watch Collection? Awesome! I wonder how many games we'll have to register to get it...

It costs 500 points in Japan and games give you 15, 20 or 30 points (depending on the price). So you can do the math. It'll probably cost the same in the US.

They did say we'd get japanese items, so this isn't a big surprise. It's welcomed all the same.

How much would it go for, though? I can't imagine it being an easy sell

No confirmation that it's even going to be a Club Nintendo prize, though. We've had four Game and Watch Gallery titles (3 on GB, 1 on GBA if memory serves), so I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a regular retail release.

However, if it is a Club Nintendo exclusive, it'll at least give me the chance to try out the zany point-accumulating schemes I've been concocting. I don't have much actual interest in the game, but it's kind of a must-have as a collector's item.

I don't think this would sell very well...at least not for a very high price. After all, I believe it's only 3 Game & Watch games in their original forms. I don't think there's any "modern" version featuring the usual Mario crew of the Game & Watch Gallery titles either.

Don't take this as confirmation that it's coming as Club Nintendo (or at all), but chances are very high that it will be.

Eew, three games? Scratch what I just said; this is a Club Nintendo exclusive for sure. Having never actually taken the very basic step of researching the game, I just thought it was a compilation of Game & Watch titles in the vein of Game & Watch Gallery. Apparently not.

Okay, I'd better start racking up points somehow.
