Nintendo of Japan recently announced that through its Club Nintendo program, gamers over in Japan would be able to acquire Game & Watch Compilation, which features three classics in Donkey Kong, Oil Panic, and Greenhouse. In purchasing Japanese Nintendo games, there are included inserts that equal a certain amount of points, 500 to be exact, will score the gamer a copy of this compilation. As of now, there is no word on a release for the US, but here's to hoping it's successful over there as I know I'm not the only US gamer who would love to get their mitts on a copy.[Via Game Brink]

I have about 23 games registered on My Nintendo. If they make the requirement for this game 25, I'll be picking up Trozei and Mario vs. DK 2.
(On a sidenote, it's been forever since they had a new promotion)

How come the Zelda G&W isnt included in the collection? I remember playing the Donkey Kong one, good ol' LCD gaming days

Finally some glimpse of a Game & Watch retro love for the DS, it's the freaking best platform for those games yet here we are without a new Game & Watch Gallery.

Yes I want the dual screen game and watch collection also. I already have the gameboy advance versions but they only single screen but theyre cool retro fun too.

Europe gets hardly any bonus stuff, we got a Zelda collectors edition with both Ocarina and Majora's Mask, but apart from that we just get standard games and inflatable poke balls.
Did the states see the Zelda collector's disc?

The U.S. did indeed recieve the Zelda Collection game disc as a pre-order freebie with Wind Waker.
Marc, it's not Bush's fault that Japan gets the best games. It's the fault of the Japanese developers who assume that American gamers are only interested in FPS, sports, and racing games. Because of that lame assumption, developers in Japan are unwilling to send games that don't fall into those categories here to the States because they think they'll lose money.
I say that us American gamers need to voice our true wants and needs to the Japanese developers so they'll realize that we actually do want all those Japan exclusive titles they hold back from us.

If it makes anyone feel any better... Most Japanese gamers won't be getting this game either. 500 Club Nintendo points is quite a lot. DS games get you about 20 points, and a DS system gets you about 50. :(

These games are killer. Man playing these really takes you back. You can still find them in NYC, but having them on the ds lite will absolutely kill. Hopefully nintendo will want that quick buck and sell this item.

I really hope Nintendo do this in the UK because I already have about 1000 star points on ninendo.co.uk
