    If you’re a part of the Nintendo Club, a rewards system they have for registering products and filling out surveys, there’s a sweet new prize you can take aim at. This replica Game & Watch is “a faithful reproduction of Nintendo’s first handheld gaming system, originally released in 1980.” Pretty awesome.

    Too bad it’s also the most expensive item in the store, at a whopping 1200 coins. You’ll have to buy like 5 Wiis and a few dozen games to save it up. Or you could buy one on eBay for an exorbitant price in a month or two. Pick your poison.

    By the way, there are almost certainly going to be other replica games coming out, so if “Ball” isn’t your cup of tea, just hang on and keep filling out surveys.
