Game & Watch Gallery, known in Japan as Game Boy Gallery is a series of collections of Game & Watch games released by Nintendo for Game Boy consoles. Most games are featured in two different versions: Classic, faithful to the original game, and Modern, more complex and featuring Mario characters.

Video Games[]

Five games have been released, but note that the first one is sometimes not considered part of the series, since the title of the series was changed starting with the second game, and is seemingly ignored by the next games, that include games already featured in it. We consider it part of the series because it is acknowledged in the Japanese title of the next three games. The games are:

  • Game Boy Gallery (April 27th, 1995) for Game Boy
  • Game & Watch Gallery (February 1st, 1997) for Game Boy and Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console. Known in Japan and Australia as Game Boy Gallery 2.
  • Game & Watch Gallery 2 (September 27th, 1997) for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console. Known in Japan and Australia as Game Boy Gallery 3.
  • Game & Watch Gallery 3 (August 4th, 1999) for Game Boy Color, Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, and Nintendo Switch Online. Known in Japan and Australia as Game Boy Gallery 4.
  • Game & Watch Gallery 4 (October 25th, 2002) for Game Boy Advance and Wii U Virtual Console. Known as Game & Watch Gallery Advance in Europe and Game Boy Gallery 4 in Japan.

Links to Other Series[]

Note: Game & Watch games included in the Game & Watch Gallery games are considered games within the games, creating a type 2 link, and so are elements from other series featured in "Modern" versions of games. Only features in the general menus create an in-universe link. Games mentioned in the "G&W History" section only count as incidental references (and are therefore not listed), since that section simply lists all the Game & Watch games ever released.
