In a video presentation on videos sex shkilaThursday, Nintendo revealed a handful of games and products on the way for the 35th anniversary of the classic game Super Mario Bros, which debuted on NES in 1985.
One of these upcoming releases is a new device inspired by the gaming company's original Game and Watch systems, which first came out in 1980. Releasing on Nov. 13 and set to cost $49.99, the levelled-up Game and Watch systems come complete with Super Mario Bros.
