Confirmed: Nintendo plans to release old Game & Watch games on DSiWare, recently Nintendo registered a couple of Game & Watch titles like Greenhouse and Oil Panic for trademark protection.

Solid retro comeback for Game and Watch of the early 1980's. Yet aside, I'd still love to see some GameBoy classics on the DSiWare store than this. UNLESS it's the ZELDA Game & Watch from 1989, than that's a different story. ;)

I hope these come to America, these are the granddaddy's of Nintendo's success.
 
The only time I've ever played Game and Watch games on-the-go was on the Game Boy Color, I believe. There was a Mario Bros game that had a collection of them.

Unless, of course, you count the 5 second microgame references in WarioWare. :p
