Ball is the first game created for the Game & Watch range of dedicated handheld gaming systems. It was released in 1980 as part of the Silver Range, the first set of all the Game & Watch systems. Due to the limited production of the Silver Range, Ball is now highly valued among collectors. The game was reissued in 2009 in Japan and 2011 in North America for Club Nintendo members.

Gameplay

Ball is a simple game, where the protagonist, Mr. Game & Watch, juggles balls. There are two different modes: Game A and Game B, both of which are accessed by pressing their respective buttons on the machine. They are both essentially the same game, but Game B has a higher difficulty.

Appearances and references in other games
