I have finally racked up 800 coins and I have decided to get the 'Game and Watch Collection' but I'm having a hard time deciding which. Which one should I get?

No one's answered yet? I'd also really like to know! Although I suspect the second one is better for me, since I like Octopus and Parachute a lot, while Oil Panic is only so-so, and I haven't tried DK or even heard of Green House.

LOL, i guess no one cared... I haven't decided what to get yet.. Looking around, it seems I may be more interested in 2 but u're right there are some classic games on the first one... well, i have until the end of June anyway before 350 of my coins expire. why they expire is beyond me. nintendo just wants me to spend more nintendo-related games, of course.

I have both, I think 2 is the way go. DK is ok but oil panic and greenhouse are both pretty meh. Octopus actually takes some time to get great at and Parachute is well...parachute. They're both pretty cool, but of course don't expect to play either of them for more than a day or two. Very much collectors items more than a retail game.

Great. Thanks for the reply. I'm kinda leaning towards two anyway. I actually do not plan to play it. I'm thinking of leaving it unopened and keep it as a collector's edition. I figured some one somewhere will auction it on Ebay and just buy it that way if I ever want to play it.
It's cool that you have both. It took me a long time just to reach 800 coins. I had to rate a lot of games.

I have the first, but not the second.  That makes it hard to give you a recommendation.  I can tell you that I only played the first one a couple of times before putting it away.  The same is probably true of the second game though.
