Game & Watch Gallery 4, also called Game & Watch Gallery Advance in Europe and Australia, is a fun video game for the Game Boy Advance. It was released in Europe on October 25, 2002, and in the United States on October 28, 2002. This game brings back many classic Game & Watch mini-games. It lets you play them in two different ways: Classic and Modern.

What is Game & Watch Gallery 4?

This game is part of the Game & Watch Gallery series. It's the fourth game in the series for North America. For Europe and Australia, it's considered the fifth game. It was first released on the Game Boy Advance handheld system. Years later, in 2015 and 2016, it also became available on the Wii U's Virtual Console. This meant more players could enjoy these classic games.

Classic Fun Meets Modern Style

Game & Watch Gallery 4 offers two main ways to play the mini-games:

  • Classic Mode: This mode lets you play the games exactly how they were in the original Game & Watch handhelds. It's like stepping back in time! The graphics and sounds are just like the old versions.
  • Modern Mode: In this mode, the games get a fresh new look. They use popular characters from the Super Mario Bros. series. This gives the classic games a fun, updated feel.

The game includes 11 mini-games that you can play in both Modern and Classic modes. There are also nine other mini-games that can only be played in Classic mode. Some games, like Boxing and Donkey Kong 3, even let you play with a friend!

Who Made the Game?
