Misery enjoys company they say and I feel somewhat miserable. This little thing came out just two days ago as a "limited production" item and it looks like it is already sold out of stock.

https://gameandwatch.nintendo.com/? Would you believe me if I said the reason Mario starts out small in Super Mario Bros. is because Nintendo employees were trying to figure out a way to have the player see farther ahead of the character?

Well, it's all true and that is why Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is such an annoying game to play for me. Playing it is basically like playing Super Mario Bros., except instead of trying to rescue a princess from Bowser, Mario is trying to find his lost glasses like Velma from Scooby Doo. This was also a complaint people had with Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis for the Gameboy Advance, although I believe that game had other problems too.

So this game and watch doohicky probably would have been the best way to actually play The Lost Levels as of yet except maybe for the tiny screen. Oh well. Maybe it will come back in stock? I mean it is limited production, but that does not actually mean much unless a hard number is attached to the figures.

Edit
Heh, I just ordered one at M.S.R.P. from a retailer. At least this is not quite so limited as I first thought. It looks like more of Nintendo's short-stocking tactics. v_v
