Japan Receives Game & Watch Club Nintendo Bonus

Thursday November 19, 2009


If you're an American Club Nintendo member and you enjoy being disappointed, boy oh boy, does Nintendo have something up its sleeve. Platinum Club Nintendo members will be getting an actual Game & Watch handheld game as a member bonus--but only in Japan.

The giveaway, a game called "Ball," was originally released in 1980 and was the first release for Nintendo's popular Game & Watch series of LCD games. In many ways, the Game & Watch titles can be considered the predecessor to the Game Boy and the Nintendo DS.

Gold Club Nintendo members will receive a calendar. Hooray!

Phoenix's adventures as a bumbling defense lawyer were a definite blast, but now it's time for his rival, the "demon prosecutor" Miles Edgeworth, to have his day on the DS. Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is coming in mid-February of 2010, but you can warm up your "Objections!" and "Eurekas!" with an online demo provided graciously by Capcom.
