"Game & Watch" is the name of A character? I'm confused. -- Zoe
Apparently his name was Hideo before that. Is that true? If so, his full name would be Mr. Hideo Game & Watch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.246.192.22 ( talk) 10:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Personally, I think Mr Game and Watch is also the name of his species, like Yoshi for example. -- 86.153.230.43 ( talk) 14:18, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Why is there 'Elektronika' in the See also section? They were a CCCP manufacturer of calculators that has nothing to do with the G&W.
Please add detailed (and sure) information about what was main diffirence between "Game A" and "Game B" (time, obstacles count, etc.)
I'm wondering if there should be a section about this. -- Thaddius 13:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
It looks like it, they appear to have the same basic design without the DS's other functions. -- D-hyo 17:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry. I removed that. It's original research unless you can find something official which says that the DS was inspired by G&W. 199.126.137.209 18:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I think it's pretty obvious that the DS was inspired by the G&W. It can't be a coincidence. ~Anonymous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinzbrain ( talk • contribs) 16:47, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Is it true that the Game & Watch features the original d-pad, for which Nintendo still holds the patent (hence the weird d-pads on the PlayStation--they get around the patent)? If so, it should be in the article.
I'm pretty sure this is the first 'system' to ever use the D-Pad. It'd be OK to throw that in, I'm sure. Fourange ( talk) 12:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
"The Game & Watch consoles were small" We need dimensions.
"Most devices had one direction pad (D-pad) comprised of Up, Down, Left and Right buttons on the left hand side and usually one, sometimes two, buttons on the right." I think most devices didn't have a D-pad.
"On the top right hand side of the machine are three buttons: Alarm, Time & Game" This is not true for all games. kabbelen 01:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
I have one. Would it be a vio to upload a scanned image of it playing? Its the blue one that plays like Super Mario World, where you have to jump from platform to platform, etc. Quatreryukami 01:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
I once heard a story that Mr. Game and Watch was included in SSBM specifically as a tribute to the late Gunpei Yokoi. Is this true? 24.127.145.27 18:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Why was the character article merged with the hardware article? I had a lot of research done about Mr. Game & Watch. Things like personality and age. This just doesn't feel right. Fourange 15:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
There isn't more than one of him. Well, technically there ARE, but they're clones created by the Subspace Army. I'll just edit that little bit. Fourange ( talk) 11:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
We have plenty of Game & Watch pictures, but not one picture of Mr. Game & Watch. We should probably put one up. Once the Smash Bros. Dojo updates him, we shoud try to get that picture onto this article. Fourange ( talk) 12:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Don't refer to Mr. Game & Watch as simply "Game & Watch" or "GW" or anything like that. It's not hard to type "Mr.". So, Mr. Game & Watch = character. Game & Watch = game series. Fourange ( talk) 12:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
To keep things tidy, it might be a good idea to create a sub-catagory for his cameos, instead of cramming it all into his article alone. Fourange ( talk) 12:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
But that would gum things up. The article was made to fit all infomation about this source into it, Making in neccesary to leave all infomation in this article, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.27.68.247 ( talk) 00:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Uh, I looked up a screenshot from Wario Ware: Touched! and it looks more like Mr. Game & Watch is jumping, not passing wind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.248.10.65 ( talk) 02:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
What's the big deal this image is a whole lot better than the one on this article: File:Game and Watch-DonkeyKongJR.jpg.
It's the same game, just this one you can see better. 208.127.133.43 ( talk) 21:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
I have merged Mr. Game & Watch with Game & Watch. Please read about it here. — OranL ( talk) 20:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
This article needs more sources. I have reverted a change because these tags need to be here to let people know that these claims are unverified. I will concede that the tag at the top is good enough, so I we can take out the {{ cleanupsection}} tag, but the {{ fact}} tags are staying. — OranL ( talk) 16:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I can find no mention on Wikipedia whatsoever of the Game Watch series wrist watches whatsoever with the exception of this photo on the zelda section: [ [1]] I remember them being almost as numerous as the Game and Watches.
i was playing mario 3,and then mr.g and w fell out of the sky.THIS IS TRUE!!!!all i did was beat bowser in less than 50 seconds,and then i had to fight mrg and w!!then,i was playing as him every other time i turned on the game!- game and watch 64
I don't believe that the subgames are notable enough for their own articles. - Falcon8765 ( talk) 16:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
"He also appears in the Nintendo DS title Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat? as the Game & Watch game Chef is unlocked after the in-game kitchen timer function is"
.....is what? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.246.49.81 ( talk) 07:19, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I was looking at this article and it didn't tell me which CPU was used in these devices? Or was there no CPU at all? Or was some kind of ASIC used or something else? Would really appreciate if someone would add this info. to the article. What was the speed of the CPU in MHz? What was the power consumption in milli Watts and milli Amp's, both for the device as a whole and also for the CPU? -- Live Steam Mad ( talk) 02:45, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
In the "Series" section, a list of "series" is given, with the last item in the list as "(1998)". In the paragraph directly below that, it states the last Game & Watch game made was released in 1991. ~Rayvn 20:25, 6 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by RayvnEQ ( talk • contribs)
Tomy toys is releasing Chef, Parachute, and Octapus as solar powered mini-keychain Game and Watches. They have the look of the classic systems but in a 2 inch shell. This should be added to the page.
Here are two images: http://www.strapya-world.com/pic/2010/gamewatch-007.jpg http://www.strapya-world.com/pic/2010/minisolar-20.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.246.168.94 ( talk) 06:38, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Needs more detailed discussion of the watch function. Either that or a photo needs to be uploaded showing the watch. The reader has no concept of where the watch is on the unit or what it looks like in relation to everything else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.110.10.94 ( talk) 14:14, 1 June 2010 (UTC) Biggs173 ( talk) 14:16, 1 June 2010 (UTC)biggs173
did you know that in smash bros, mr. game and watch's model is 3d? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valehd ( talk • contribs) 14:25, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
