Nobody is seeming to get this. Nintendo did not have enough money to send thousands of Game & Watches to America when the series started (They had no Nintendo of America to do so), which is why Nintendo gave the copyrights to Mego to develop such games, which saved time and money. Once Nintendo knew that the series was worth it in America then they made the Nintendo of America in NYC which is where they released Game & Watches after the Silver Series.
Not only the Multi-Screen series of Game & Watch handhelds were what the Nintendo DS was inspired by, but it was also inspired by the last three arcade games Nintendo independently-created (Punch-Out!!, Super Punch-Out!! and Arm Wrestling), as well as the Virtual Boy (which uses two screens to create a 3D effect).
This wasn't Nintendo. There were TONS of companies that made variations of Game & Watch, which makes collecting them more fun, because they don't just end with the Nintendo LCD games..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i see why my ds is much cooler it has touch screen and you can make flip books.but anyway who would pay $70 on a game where there is just a dum stick figer knocking balls in the air wow people were very stupid back then and a ds can hold 2 cartridges
@donnie350 you do know there was no DS back then,right? In a few years,your mommy will be buying you a "more advanced" system and you'll think the DS is stupid.It's called "generation",kid.

i could just imagine, back then, this would've been the complete pinacle of portable gaming.
suddenly, a bright light appears, and a child is granted a current day 3ds.
he proceeds to throw it in the trash and continue with his game & watch.
