Nintendo Game & Watch Comes Full Circle


If you were a kid in the '80s, you'll remember Nintendo's Game & Watch series was rocking the portable gaming scene way before the Nintendo DS.  Now Nintendo's innovations have come full circle in a way, brought to us by the most unlikely source.  Combine Game & Watch style quartz LCD games with Wii-like gameplay and you get the McDigi series of toys! 



On the left is the McDigi Tennis game, where you swing the toy left and right to return volleys from your digital opponent.  On the right, the McDigi Baseball game, where you must smack the toy on its side to swing your bat.  It's been available with every McDonalds Happy Meal in the Philippines for a while now, but for a limited time only.
