Nintendo Game & Watch: Donkey Kong Jr (1982)

The Nintendo Game & Watch: Donkey Kong Jr. is a landmark entry in the “New Wide Screen” series, celebrated for its significant impact on handheld gaming history. Its design featured a distinctive maroon housing and a wider LCD than its predecessors, but it is most famous for introducing the world’s first cross-shaped directional pad (D-Pad), a revolutionary innovation by Gunpei Yokoi that set the gold standard for controller layouts on nearly every console that followed. Players controlled Donkey Kong Jr. as he climbed vines and dodged “Snapjaws” and “Nitpickers” to snatch keys from Mario and rescue his caged father. Upon release, the game was a major success, selling over one million units and receiving critical praise for its responsive controls and addictive gameplay, solidifying its legacy as one of the most playable and influential titles in the entire Game & Watch library.
