Nelsonic Game Watch: Difference between revisions
(I sifted through the references listed on Nelsonic's Wikipedia page, but none of the sites mentioned Europe in anyway, and the reference I provided was common to all three of the EU-released watches, so I'm replacing it as it's pertinent to int'l releases) |

- Not to be confused with Game & Watch.
Nelsonic Game Watch is a multi-purpose wristwatch developed by Nelsonic Industries that uses an LCD display. Nelsonic obtained licensing from Nintendo in 1989 to reproduce many of Nintendo's popular games, including various Mario entries; these were done in a much simpler Game & Watch style format, due to the game watch's limitations. 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. Many of the games released in 1990 (except for Super Mario Bros. 3) were also given away in Japanese McDonald's chains;[1] the Super Mario Bros. 3 watch was re-released in Europe, along with a couple of other Nelsonic Game Watches, by UK-based timepiece distributor Zeon in late 1992.[2]
