Does anybody here want Mr. Game & Watch back as badly as I do? I think he's the most historically important character other than Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong was huge because he was the star (and villain) of the first platformer ever (a year before Pitfall even, making that game look like crap, amirite?). Donkey Kong's extra badass for being a villain with his first game named after him. Wario also started as a villain, but in Super Mario Land 2, which wasn't named after him. Anyway, to me, Mr. Game & Watch represents THE D-PAD, one of the greatest gaming conventions of all time, effectively replacing the arcade joystick in home consoles. And he cooks sausages! And he's 2-D! He's incredible! He's my favorite character! I'm buying the game either way, but if I find out Mr. Game & Watch isn't in it, I'm gonna put the disc in, hold my eyes right up to the slot, and cry so hard into my Wii that it explodes.
