Description from the seller
Nintendo Game & Watch – Ball (AC-01) — Classic Handheld Game
The Nintendo Game & Watch Ball is the very first Game & Watch game ever released, originally launched on April 28, 1980, as part of the Silver series. This iconic portable LCD game marks the beginning of Nintendo’s handheld gaming history.
This console is not a reissue and not a club edition!
Historical value
Ball marks the birth moment of the legendary Game & Watch brand and was the beginning of Nintendo’s handheld legacy before the existence of the Game Boy.
The game was later re-released as an exclusive collector's item for Club Nintendo and has received multiple reissues, but the original AC-01 remains a sought-after collector's item.
Perfect for collectors
This classic example is ideal for enthusiasts of retro gaming and Nintendo history. It not only symbolizes a milestone in handheld gaming but also serves as an iconic collector's item representing the beginning of Nintendo's portable gaming experiences.

This console is extremely rare in this condition.
Thanks to its good condition and full functionality, this is a very attractive collector's item for Nintendo and retro gaming enthusiasts—and a beautiful example of where the Game & Watch series first began.
