As retro-gaming fans it's no surprise we have a soft spot for Robotube Games' fantastic series of Bit Museum videos showcasing forgotten gaming consoles and handhelds.
Nintendo's early gaming consoles from the 1970s featured in the first episode and we've gotten word that the latest episode is going be all about the company's Game & Watch handhelds, some of which bear more than a passing resemblance to Nintendo's current DS family of portable gaming machines.
You can subscribe to a video podcast via iTunes links on the site so you can enjoy it on the go, or you can become a fan on Facebook and learn about the latest happenings.

Ive still got one of those Donkey Kong G&W games. I played it so much when I was little. All it needs is a change of batteries...
I almost convinced my friend when I was like 10 years old to sell me his DK G&W for $10. He backed out. =(
This has gone live at Jason Cirillio's blog, but should be up on the main site soon: http://jasoncirillo.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/bit-museum-5-nintendo-game-watch-history/
I got Donkey Kong II G&W in my hands right now. Everything is working and it's great.
Donkey Kong for the Game & Watch handheld! Fun game.
It does look a little like the DS (even though it isn't), doesn't it?
This episode is fantastic and it's up on the main page as well now, so go watch it!
My Donkey Kong Game & Watch is still sitting on my nightstand right next to me.
