In 1981, eight years before Game Boy, Nintendo released the first Game & Watch. The handheld console had one game, Ball, and a clock (that's why it was called a Game & Watch).

Nintendo just announced it's reintroducing a special edition of Game & Watch. It looks a lot like the original but the controllers are similar to Game Boy. It has a color display and includes Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, a Mario version of Ball, and a digital clock. It will be released as a limited edition on November 13th for $50.
