The Games
Modern vs. Classic
Game & Watch Gallery 4 featured both modern and classic versions of its six standard games, as well as the first five unlockable games. The classic version had lcd style graphics and the same gameplay as the original Game & Watch handheld games, while the modern version had updated graphics, music, and color and replaced the original characters and items with ones from the Mario series. Also the gameplay was changed in some games and might have had a new challenge.
