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.

Famous quotes containing the words game, watch, gallery and/or series:
“Neighboring farmers and visitors at White Sulphur drove out occasionally to watch ‘those funny Scotchmen’ with amused superiority; when one member imported clubs from Scotland, they were held for three weeks by customs officials who could not believe that any game could be played with ‘such elongated blackjacks or implements of murder.’”
—For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning how to learn.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“In the order of literature, as in others, there is no act that is not the coronation of an infinite series of causes and the source of an infinite series of effects.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
