(I remember being pretty fascinated when I first heard of this compilation back in around 2008 (but I was never in a position to buy it), so I took some time this afternoon to compare it to their original devices and the G&W Gallery compilations.)

A sequel, ''Game & Watch Collection 2'', was also released through the Club Nintendo service; it featured no ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related games.
''Game & Watch Collection'' has a port of one ''Super Mario'' game, ''[[Donkey Kong (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong]]'', as well as ''[[nwiki:Oil Panic|Oil Panic]]'' and ''[[nwiki:Greenhouse|Green House]]''. ''Donkey Kong'' and the other two games are all played in their native dual-screen configurations, with their original real-time clock and alarm functionalities retained, as well as the choice between Game A/B and high score keeping. Colors are more contrasted and brighter than on the original Game & Watch devices. The available movement posture shadows are more visible, not unlike the Classic mode of ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''. No additional features have been added to the games, except for a control explanation in each game's mode selection menu.
