Description from the seller

Nintendo Game & Watch – Pinball PB-59

The Nintendo Game & Watch: Pinball is a classic handheld from the 80s and is part of Nintendo’s iconic Game & Watch series. In this game, players experience a simplified but addictive version of pinball, specially designed for portable use.

The device features a two-screen design (vertical 'clamshell'), with the bottom screen displaying the main flipper table and the top screen showing additional game elements. Using the left and right buttons, you control the flippers to keep the ball in play and score as many points as possible. The goal is to bounce the ball cleverly, hit targets, and prevent it from falling at the bottom.

Like all Game & Watch devices, Pinball features an LCD screen, simple yet recognizable animations, and a built-in clock and alarm function. Its compact size, sturdy design, and immediate gameplay made this game popular among both children and adults.

Today, Game & Watch: Pinball is a beloved collectible and a nostalgic piece of Nintendo history, showcasing how Nintendo was able to create innovative and accessible gaming experiences early on.
