I have exactly the same game and watch game since 1989 and it looks like new after 31 years. I have the original package wit inlay too but the manual is missing. I have never sold this game from my childhood and it still works great after all these years
i know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Apollo Ali I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
"I just think they're probably one of the nicest Nintendo looking devices ever made" Couldn't agree more mate. They're the type of device that very little can go wrong with, and even less that can't be put to rights. Even the broken latches on the multi-screen games are fixable with a bit of effort. My personal favourite is the same as yours, Donkey Kong. They are beautiful devices to get hold of. It really does prove that fancy graphics or fast paced gameplay aren't what make a good game. Excellent restoration. You are what first inspired me to collect and restore. Keep it up!
Just stumbled across this video-I really enjoyed it. I'd love to have a go myself at refurbishing a beaten down GAME & WATCH, there's just something so satisfying and therapeutic about repairing something from that state to something that looks almost new. Great stuff!
It’s nice to see you enjoy and play the console you’ve just restored 😊 I do prefer when there are voiceovers but I enjoyed this video because of the simplicity of the device and it was self explanatory.
@@Mrjk442 let me tell you something: The Baby Boomer generation spanned from 1946 to 1964 / 1966 (the exact end date isn't very clear, but it's either of them). If he/she was a 7-year-old in the 80s, and this released in 1988, he/she would've been born in the early 80s (most likely), which is the end of Generation X and the start of the Millenials. He/she is most likely one of those. So no, not even close.
I recently purchased a batch of 14 G&W. All with stained screens on the back. I'm fixing everyone, at the same time it's becoming therapy for me. My last major repair was a Gameboy Light belonging to a good friend of mine who collects video games. I removed the silver back film from a Gameboy Pocket screen and inserted it into the GBL without any film and the result was perfect. Thanks for sharing so much good content Eliot. I'm always following your channel. congratulations. Felipe Martins from Brazil.
I got one of these for Christmas in 1988. It made so many long car journeys fun (as long as there was light). I still have mine to this day. Yours came out amazing after the clean. I may give mine a little brush up now.
Hi Elliot, have you thought of looking for some of the Nintendo mini classic game & watch keyring versions? There are some unique titles available in this format including Star Trek, Harry Potter, football etc. there are loads on ebay
The grey rubber buttons (similar to START/SELECT from the Game Boys) are retrobrightable as well! I usually just submerge the yellowed parts in hydrogen peroxide gel and they're back to their original color after only half an hour in sunlight. You should definitely give it a try!
I think I would actually prefer the voice-over, but it works either way! Beautiful video. Just a quick suggestion, I would love to see some side-by-side before and after shots for these types of videos. Seeing the end result is so satisfying when it’s compared directly next to the old, grimy version!
Elliot... just because something is a "handheld" doesn't mean it can't be a console. From Wikipedia: "A video game console is a computer device that outputs a video signal or visual image to display a video game that one or more people can play". A Game Boy is a video game console, and at least by my interpretation of the definition, so is a Game & Watch. It's just the little details in your videos that I can't help but correct sometimes :P
I love those little things, my favourite is with the wolf that catches eggs, the nice thing with it is that it has 4 buttons, 2 on each side, other games only has 2, one each side.
If you beat the 8 levels and get to 2-1, enemies start showing up. If you hold Jump, then press and let go of Game, you start on 3-1 with the enemies enabled. You can also get 1-up mushrooms and stars by bumping the platform youre under by pressing jump under it. This is definitely my one of, if not my favorite game & watches.
It's better to use LR43 batteries for the longevity of the device btw; LR44 works obviously, but it also puts a strain on the plastic because it's like a millimetre thicker. You may even notice the seam on that side bulges a bit. I've even lost a battery door to this! It fractured in half from the pressure over time.
That's true for the Wide Screen Series games that were designed to use LR43. However, this game is from the later New Wide Screen series which were designed to use LR44.
That was only the first level, it has 8 levels in total. When you save the real Princess Peach, Bowser gets thrown out of his castle in the top right corner.
Yeah he's either implying game and watch in general started it, or he's hosting a video game channel while completely ignorant about the history, or he's doing some weird lying brag thing...
A lot of good things in this video. It was enjoyable just watching a build with just some music playing. Fun seeing classic consoles. Most importantly though, the ending. Seeing the genuine happiness playing this console made it the best for me. I know you said the views don’t really jump for this console, but you still wanted to do it cause YOU enjoy it. Seeing you enjoying it made me enjoy it.
Just subscribed. Can't believe there are other people who love Game and Watch. BTW it was good of you to mention Gunpei Yokoi, he was the one I think who spelled out Nintendo's ethos that you described, of using older technology to innovate. Strange but cool concept. Hard to pull off, but Nintendo has managed to keep doing it over the years.
2:32 Actually, a good portion of the G&W games are about pattern recognition, like with BALL, BOXING, DONKEY KONG, RAIN SHOWER, and others. 6:54 I'd watch you restore and talk about Game & Watch games for an hour...I love these LCD games. They may not of been cutting-edge as far as tech goes but for what they do, it's fantastic, plus there's so many of them, it's a subject that would have lots of hours' worth of discussion... So yes, more, s'il vous plait. Also, grats on completing the first few levels. Some G&W games are really difficult...like _Mario's Cement Factory_ and _Oil Panic_ to name a couple.
Nice job sir! That game brings back good memories, my childhood buddy used to have this one and balloon fight (think it was called) in the late 80's/early 90's. Myself I had the Zelda game, but it stopped working at some point and got lost in the rubble. For all I know it still in a box in my parents attic!
That's been Nintendo's mantra from the days of Gunpei Yokoi and the Ultra Hand; use well-known technology and adapt it to new purposes. Lateral thinking with withered technology is the translation from the Japanese I think, something like that. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Repurpose it instead.
Hey, Game & Watch - the best. Where'd you source the peroxide solution? that percentage strength was banned from sale quite a while back, even hairdressers can't get it, I think 5 or 6% is the max now (could be wrong). Also where'd you get the UV light box thing from? I think people have asked these questions here already but you've not replied, answer your people man. I'm apprehensive about taking the faceplate off, those things bend easy but don't straighten out very well, yours looks ok from this distance but what's it like up close after you stuck it back on? Looks like great results tho, well done.
Loved this video! I usually speed up to 2x to watch a bunch but I kept this one at 1x and actually really enjoyed the ride. And thanks giving a couple minutes to play around with it at the end! I actually had this game growing up but it was in the shape of a miniature game boy on a keychain, I think it was a "Nintendo Mini Classic" and they were available at the dollar store for quite a bit, but it was the same exact game as this! Anyway, a lot funner than I would have guessed!
I got one of those for Christmas when I was in second grade...but I only got to enjoy it for about a month before some kid stole it from my desk during recess. Even though I only had it for a short time, it was the coolest thing I'd ever owned!
I had this back in the day. It unfortunately was stolen from my coat pocket in the swimming baths cloak room. I was so gutted. It's weird to see it again.
Also in high school I kind of was one of the kids spreading Z-shell to the other ti 85 calculators, props to anyone who actually knows what the hell I'm talking about.
That's what the Game and Watch is! I heard of it so many times and I've never seen one! I first heard of it from Tomodatchi Life. I'm an early 2000s kid and I love older technology. If you're able to, see if you can get your hands on a Magnavox Odyessey or Atarri Jaguar! I own the Magnavox Odyessey 2!
You can reverse sun damage on shells by submerging them in 3% hydrogen peroxide and shining UV light on them (uv ledstrip). Keep them in the solution under the uv light for 12 hours, change around every 3 hours for even lighting. Pretty much all sun damage is gone after this treatment!!
How long did you had to leave the case under the lamp? I´d like to try this method on yellowed gameboy shells, i tried cream but this seems to be much better. Great work by the way!
I’ve got the same model in new condition. If you press jump+restart you’ll start at 3rd level and if you jump under platforms you sometimes get invincibility or extra life
It’s kinda gross but I sort of love when you can see dirt around the buttons and in the grooves because to me that says it’s been well loved. This Game and Watch really does look like it’s meant a lot to some one or maybe even multiple people throughout it’s time. I felt the same way about that sun damaged 1500¥ Hello Kitty GameBoy you refurbed a while ago, that looked so loved, then again I think if I owned a Hello Kitty GameBoy it would have been really well loved.
This is actually a misnomer some people get about Nintendo's family mindset it wasn't always true as at some point back in the day during the SNES-GC (Unsure about the NES) eras Nintendo were much more power focused as the systems they made tried to outbeat the competition in the power department the GC power wise was actually stronger then the PS2. But they started taking a backseat with the Wii and then on using family centered marketing and versatility and in there defense it worked as the Wii gave both the PS2 and 3 a good run for its money for awhile. But many fans take there modern mentality and apply it to the old style mentality like that was always there mentality maybe way back then before the NES but definitely after the NES they started getting more power focused. That being said this pull back on the power Wii and onward wasn't without a price while third party support was a weak point of Nintendo's it got weaker after the Wii and wouldn't really recover to where it was at until the Switch and even now its still a little weak in some places when compared to the competition but its definitely better then where it was.
I think skipping the voice over when it's a project you've done before is kinda nice but I hope to see you provide "instructions" on completely new projects for those who are following along or just curious about how or why certain things are done.
U are absolutely right that game and watch is fantastic. I love how u retrobright the plastics which I will try to do it on mine. Keep up the good work and stay healthy! Cheers!
kind of funny I got a set of the new game and watch games for 70 bucks, so technically got the new one for the same price. Judging the condition of that at least from the outside you got a really good deal.
There may be another option for discoloration besides bleaching. www.vhtpaint.com/specialty/vht-vinyl-dye I’ve used this on car interior plastics. Sprays on like spray paint but it actually dyes the plastic. I haven’t seen it rub off like spray paint either. There are other companies besides VHT that make the stuff, but the problem is your options for colors are limited to some of the more common car interior colors.
Wow I used to have this one back in the day as well as, Donkey Kong Coleco tabletop and Ms. Pacman. I loved these. I wish I could find one as cheap as find some of these items.
I have this same Super Mario Bros Game & Watch. In the first level you can hold right on the dpad and mash the jump button to easily make it to the end of the level.
music is fire in this one man👌 great work. keep it up. you’ve been doing great lately. I always get so excited to see one of your videos have been uploaded. love the game and watch reminds me of the games i play on my Ti-83
I use to have one of these, the mario one, and I use to play it for many hours. I wish I still had it, but all my game systems and everything was lost in a fire.
game and watch is one of those things i would collect if i had the space. couldn't afford one as a kid and aways wished i had one. just amazing looking now!
Hello I have several Nintendo Game and Watches from the early 80s which have lcd screen bleed. is there any way to fix this. Would be great full if someone can give me some hints and an indication if this can even be fixed. Is not the polarisers as I can still see the black characters ok. Thank you in anticipation that someone can help me please. Thank you
No voice over in this one. Thought it would make a nice change. What are your thoughts?
I dig it! Has a nice flow.
It's good
I love it!
Mate, the production value is great whatever and however you choose to do on your vids, just keep up the good work and post them videos!
Thanks for harting my comment I love your videos

0:12 Bro, by 1988 the Mario Bros franchise was already 5 years old. Even Super Mario Bros was already 3 years old...
Yes ... thank-you vitor kk : )
Yes
beat me to it
It’s also pronounced “Mario Brothers” even if it is abbreviated
Yes the arcade version! Then the NES. But this was the first handheld game!
Just stumbled across this video-I really enjoyed it. I'd love to have a go myself at refurbishing a beaten down GAME & WATCH, there's just something so satisfying and therapeutic about repairing something from that state to something that looks almost new. Great stuff!

It’s nice to see you enjoy and play the console you’ve just restored 😊 I do prefer when there are voiceovers but I enjoyed this video because of the simplicity of the device and it was self explanatory.
WOW blast from my past, I had the Red one when I was like 7 back in the 80s.
Did you ever get the Game Boy after the Game & Watch was discontinued

Same lol
Oh wow, I spent so much time with this thing as a kid and totally forgot about it. I remember the spinning display case of them in the store!
I got one of these for Christmas in 1988. It made so many long car journeys fun (as long as there was light). I still have mine to this day.

Hi Elliot, have you thought of looking for some of the Nintendo mini classic game & watch keyring versions? There are some unique titles available in this format including Star Trek, Harry Potter, football etc. there are loads on ebay
IIRC, and it's been a while since I played mine, but Mario's hat and suspenders are sun bleached. They should be red.
Getting one of these for Christmas/Birthday is the equivalent of getting a remote control car with a wire connected to the controller.
And how is that?
The grey rubber buttons (similar to START/SELECT from the Game Boys) are retrobrightable as well! I usually just submerge the yellowed parts in hydrogen peroxide gel and they're back to their original color after only half an hour in sunlight. You should definitely give it a try!
That ending was hilarious and super relatable... every time he got to a new level, he had to keep playing. lol

Nintendo pretends that the Super Mario Bros. Game&watch doesn't exist, well not in late 2020.
That cleaned up very nicely. (Although light blue and orange isn't a bad combination at all ...)

I do not understand why in the heck did Nintendo not include this Game in the Remake of the 2020 Game and watch is beyond a mystery for me...
I had this back in the day. It unfortunately was stolen from my coat pocket in the swimming baths cloak room. I was so gutted. It's weird to see it again.
Game and Watch is a weird device. It has a segmented LCD display but the games are so well fit that the console is incredible.
Elliot: Tries to desperately close out the video
Little Super Mario Game & Watch that could: *hold my happy beeping noises*
Also in high school I kind of was one of the kids spreading Z-shell to the other ti 85 calculators, props to anyone who actually knows what the hell I'm talking about.
That's what the Game and Watch is! I heard of it so many times and I've never seen one! I first heard of it from Tomodatchi Life. I'm an early 2000s kid and I love older technology. If you're able to, see if you can get your hands on a Magnavox Odyessey or Atarri Jaguar! I own the Magnavox Odyessey 2!
Nice video 👍 enjoyed the more relaxed/quiet format of the restoration section.
And that's Princess Daisy, not Peach 😅
I am 100% unsuccessful at putting those LCD strips back on correctly!
I grew up with G&W and a Donkey Kong Game and Watch was my first ever handheld so as far as I am concerned, keep these videos coming. Thanks Elliott!

How long did you had to leave the case under the lamp? I´d like to try this method on yellowed gameboy shells, i tried cream but this seems to be much better. Great work by the way!
I’ve got the same model in new condition. If you press jump+restart you’ll start at 3rd level and if you jump under platforms you sometimes get invincibility or extra life
It’s kinda gross but I sort of love when you can see dirt around the buttons and in the grooves because to me that says it’s been well loved. This Game and Watch really does look like it’s meant a lot to some one or maybe even multiple people throughout it’s time.
I felt the same way about that sun damaged 1500¥ Hello Kitty GameBoy you refurbed a while ago, that looked so loved, then again I think if I owned a Hello Kitty GameBoy it would have been really well loved.
As a personal fan of game & watches. I absolutely love these videos
This is actually a misnomer some people get about Nintendo's family mindset it wasn't always true as at some point back in the day during the SNES-GC (Unsure about the NES) eras Nintendo were much more power focused as the systems they made tried to outbeat the competition in the power department the GC power wise was actually stronger then the PS2. But they started taking a backseat with the Wii and then on using family centered marketing and versatility and in there defense it worked as the Wii gave both the PS2 and 3 a good run for its money for awhile.
But many fans take there modern mentality and apply it to the old style mentality like that was always there mentality maybe way back then before the NES but definitely after the NES they started getting more power focused. That being said this pull back on the power Wii and onward wasn't without a price while third party support was a weak point of Nintendo's it got weaker after the Wii and wouldn't really recover to where it was at until the Switch and even now its still a little weak in some places when compared to the competition but its definitely better then where it was.
Watching this hurts a lot, because that's really the wrong screwdriver - it's just way too small!
But besides that - thanks for this great video =)

Never seen a LCD Handheld that has a level 2 mode. That’s awesome
It was really nice without the voice-over, but for longer video or more complex processes I enjoy the voice-over to explain what is going on
That was so unbelievably satisfying to watch!
The "Mario Bros." arcade game started the "Mario" franchise in 1983 : )
i used to play this all the time when i was like 6 yrs old
Very nice. By the way have Mr Sheen not offered to sponsor you yet?

I have this same Super Mario Bros Game & Watch. In the first level you can hold right on the dpad and mash the jump button to easily make it to the end of the level.
Is there a reason you used the 12% liquid Hydrogen Peroxide vs. the Hair crème that you normally use on the gray Gameboy's for example?
Im glad you didnt lose any bits down the sink this time ;)
LOL I love those things-don’t think I ever graduated to anything harder.
Looks beautiful, will Sony's consoles get some love?
Oh, yeah, I'd love to see Eliot mod some PSP!
Did the other one off camera to make sure it would be a successful project lol. Just playing, love your videos man keep up the awesome work.
Wait a sec... Rubber contacts can be put in water ?! ..... I always clean them with IPA and q-tips.... what a timeloss......
I like how you have been using hydrogen peroxide as of late good work mate. I much prefer it to other methods. Was that originally blue?
Woah u actually opened up one of these things. Cool
music is fire in this one man👌 great work. keep it up. you’ve been doing great lately. I always get so excited to see one of your videos have been uploaded. love the game and watch reminds me of the games i play on my Ti-83
the game&watch are simply beautiful! very good restoration.
I use to have one of these, the mario one, and I use to play it for many hours. I wish I still had it, but all my game systems and everything was lost in a fire.
I have one thats in keychain mini form. I still have nostalgia for these beautiful things.
I think Nintendo should release the original SMB in a G&W format (but in dot matrix color, obvs), they would make lots of money!
This comment aged very well :)
oh boy i would love to hack one of these apart and stuff a pi zero into it with a nicer screen.
Or maybe even an entire rg350.
I'd 3D-print a replica case to put a Pi in. No sense in defiling something this vintage.
I love your videos, but what do you do with all the game boys and all the other consoles?
Cool new intro, i like it! I'm not usually a big fan or intros, but it has a cool art style.
Wow it looks great! So clean! I'd take everything apart and freak out... LOL
I love watching your enthusiasm for the game and watch series because I love them too!
game and watch is one of those things i would collect if i had the space. couldn't afford one as a kid and aways wished i had one. just amazing looking now!
That’s pretty cool i own the mini version of it ,but this one looks sooo much cooler.
I love videos that fix devices that make them better than how they allready were!
うわぁぁ…退色してボロボロ。
コレ箱、説明書付きの美品を持って居るよ。
I had this back in the day. I couldn’t put it down 😊 Don’t know where it is now though 🙁
We're gonna need a bigger....screwdriver.
Even the Game & Watch kickstand works better than the Switch's
How would you clean/ refurbish the front of the flip covers? Ususally scuffed..
Hello I have several Nintendo Game and Watches from the early 80s which have lcd screen bleed. is there any way to fix this. Would be great full if someone can give me some hints and an indication if this can even be fixed. Is not the polarisers as I can still see the black characters ok. Thank you in anticipation that someone can help me please. Thank you
