The game was | '''''Game & Watch Gallery 2''''', known as '''''Game Boy Gallery 3''''' in Australia and '''''Game Boy Gallery 2''''' (ゲームボーイギャラリー2 ''Gēmu Bōi Gyararī 2'') in Japan, is a compilation game that was released for the [[Game Boy]] in 1997. Even though it is the sequel to ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', it is actually the third game in the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]]. The game includes six revisions of [[Game & Watch]] games, one of which is not playable from the beginning and must be unlocked. Like all the other ''Game & Watch Gallery'' games, the [[minigame]]s can be played in either Classic Mode or Modern Mode; the former is identical to the original release of the minigame, while the latter has been redone with characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music. ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' was rereleased as a [[Game Boy Color]] game in Europe and Australia, as well as North America, in 1998 but not in Japan. However, on September 9, 2020, an unreleased Japanese Game Boy Color version was leaked. | ||
The game was rereleased on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in Japan in March 2012; in Europe and Australia on May 3, 2012; and in North America on May 24, 2012. | |||

Like the previous game, ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' features a system to unlock bonus features. As before, the player earns a star every time they score 200 [[point]]s in a mode of a minigame, being able to earn up to five stars in each mode. The more stars the player earns, the more things they unlock in the [[Gallery Corner]]. The player unlocks a very hard mode called Star Mode after they reach 1,000 points in a Modern game. The player can earn a total of 120 stars. | Like the previous game, ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' features a system to unlock bonus features.

|align="left"| | |align="left"|''"As with the first game, Game & Watch Gallery 2 features a collection of several highly addictive score based games. There's a lot to do, and with both faithful ports and remakes being included in the same package you're sure to be entertained for a while as you attempt to earn all the stars available. And after that, maybe you can go in for seconds with the super hard difficulties."'' | ||

|align="left"| | |align="left"|''"Overall, I am satisfied with Game & Watch Gallery 2. I grew up playing the original Game & Watches, and have several original Nintendo Game & Watch games still in my collection. For me, playing Game & Watch Gallery 2 was a trip down memory lane, but for a whole new generation of games, it represents a returning to the simplicity of past games. There's no need to sit for that extra five or ten minutes to finish a level, or to reach that difficult to find save point. Gamers can turn off their Game Boys when they want it, making this title ideal for short trips, or for people who simply want to be entertained and not feel like they are locked into the game for a certain period of time."'' | ||
