I have chosen not to include the Color TV Games series, the Virtual Boy and the Pokemon Mini out of the belief that so few people here have played them there won't be much discussion coming out of it
Rules:
You are free to disagree with opinions but don't let that escalate into a full out fight
If you can't think of honestly anything to say about the hardware or games, feel free to skip it
You are free to catch up if you miss one or some of the days but keep it contained to one post

Sounds interesting, I'm looking forward to it! A little disappointed about no Pokemon Mini though. I never had one myself, but I played a ton of Pokemon Channel growing up and remember being able to play several of the Pokemon Mini games in it.

You can consider April 1st as a bonus day to talk about the other Nintendo consoles if you wish

Day 1: Game and Watch
I admittedly have never played a real Game and Watch but I have played versions of the games and they are surprisingly still fun for somewhat basic score attack games, way better than the crappy Tiger Handhelds

I played so much of Game and Watch Gallery 4 as a kid, re-listening to the OST right now and all the memories are coming back. I also think I had one of the "mini classics" they did, if I didn't at least the packaging stuck in my mind for some reason. A lot less snazzy than the original Game and Watch, but hey when you're a kid Mario is Mario.

On the classic Game and Watch handhelds themselves, I haven't handled one on my own either, but they look very nice and appealing. A lot of LCD games look like cheap plastic, but Game and Watch ones are very classy. It makes sense when you remember the old story of being inspired by seeing a bored salaryman on the train messing with his business card. They look like something a proper businessman would use. The games are also very fun, and the LCD graphics are impressively cartoony. Nintendo managed to put a lot of heart and soul into a very limited game format. They might be basic, but they're distinctly members of that iconic Nintendo quality.
