Game & Watch Ball... The beginning of ‘cross’ D-pads, handheld gaming, and gaming by Nintendo. Designed by Gunpei Yokoi, Ball is the very first Game & Watch Nintendo created. Its D-Pad controls are perfect for handheld gaming, as oppose to a joystick, which can be somewhat bulky. Can you imagine an NES controller without a D-pad or a Game Boy that is not very portable? Not to mention that Game & Watch games are pretty entertaining. In all, Nintendo released 62 Game & Watch games.
