| 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 and odd names for characters such as [[Bowser]] being called "Koopa's Dragon" or [[Dolphin]] being called "Globfish". 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.
