[edit] Mr. Game & Watch
"Game & Watch" is the name of A character? I'm confused. -- Zoe
- A generic little black stick figure that you played in a lot of games that didn't feature NES characters. They only bothered to give him a name for SSBM. You can write reminders on it.
[edit] See also
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.
[edit] Game modes
Please add detailed (and sure) information about what was main diffirence between "Game A" and "Game B" (time, obstacles count, etc.)
[edit] Game & Watch as inspiration for DS?
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)
[edit] g&w is the original d-pad?
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.
[edit] Factual errors and POV
"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 recommend that you just go ahead and make any changes you see fit. I don't think this talk page gets enough attention for a "discussion first" approach to be very effective. I'm primarily focused on some other articles right now. Dancter 01:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

- changes made. This article still needs considerable work.87.65.70.191 00:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
