Game & Watch Gallery Series
The Game & Watch Gallery series, known in Japan and Australia as the Game Boy Gallery (ゲームボーイギャラリー?) series, is a series of compilations of some of Nintendo's original Game & Watch titles first released in 1995. The compilations come in two styles: original (Classic) and remade (Modern) with characters from the Super Mario Bros. series. Five installments have been released, each for various incarnations of Nintendo's portable systems, like Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance. In many cases, the mini-games ported onto these collections exist in their graphically upgraded forms as well as their original ones. Also, the titles often feature actual galleries explaining the history of the Game & Watch system and the various games released for it. The first four titles in the series also feature Super Game Boy borders which mimic the original Game & Watch casing designs. The series was known as Game Boy Gallery in Australia and is one of the very few Australia-only localizations with the series in Australia now known as Game & Watch from GBA onwards.
Beginning in 1998, Nintendo licensed a series of small standalone LCD remakes of the original Game & Watch games called Nintendo Mini Classics, and in the early 2000s several Game & Watch titles were planned for re-release as Game & Watch-e (a series of Nintendo e-Reader cards).
The Game & Watch Collection series for Nintendo DS became available to Club Nintendo members in 2008, and as of 2009, Nintendo has begun releasing individual titles via its DSiWare services for the Nintendo DSi and the 3DS.
