The '''Nelsonic Game Watch''' is a multipurpose wristwatch developed by {{wp|Nelsonic Industries}} that uses an LCD display. Nelsonic obtained licensing from [[Nintendo]] in 1989 to adapt many of Nintendo's popular games, including various entries of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]; these were done in a much simpler [[Game & Watch]] style format, due to the game watch's limitations. The instruction leaflets contain many capitalization mistakes as well as poor grammar and spelling. All of the Nelsonic Game Watch products were released in North America, and were produced while Nelsonic acted as a division of the watch-making company M. Z. Berger prior to and after their acquisition in 1990. Nelsonic/M. Z. Berger was also the main distributor of Game & Watch games in North America from late 1985 until its initial discontinuation in the early 1990s.
