That was beyond awesome (loved the SMB3 L1 rendition), but next time you wear the hoodie you have to do an impersonation of the Gatekeeper!

If you don't do this in your next video I will never forgive you. Tongue

Awesome, I didn't think Nintendo kept making those game watches that long into the NES's life span. I had the Legend of Zelda game watch when I was a kid. I'd love to know what I did with that... Huh?

After googling day and night for even a picture of the SMB3 watch I had, I came up inconclusive. But I found a wiki page on http://www.wikimario.com then had REALLY minor information about it

Quote
Super Mario Bros. 3 was a Game Watch. Literally, it is a watch that plays a game (not to be confused with a Game & Watch). It is presumably a highly simplified version of the NES game.

WOW. That helped me ALOT! So i decided to sign-up to the wiki and post a picture and some information about it

Link: http://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros._3_(game_watch)

Tell me what you think

You might want to make it more encyclopaedic I guess. Usually people don't put things like "I" in an article, but I don't know how that wiki works.

Also since you updated it, you could alter the starting paragraph - there isn't much to assume about it now!

Awesome.  I used to want one of those Nintendo Game Watches, but I never got one.  I think a friend of mine had a SMB one that he'd bring to school.  Teachers used to love to confiscate that stuff.

I also remember the first time a kid smuggled a Game Boy into class around 1989.  I remember playing Super Mario Land briefly when we were on a class bathroom break, which was the only time he dared bring it out.  We all thought he was rich too because he'd bring in other stuff like tiny portable TVs.  Ah, the good ole days.

Why don't you repost your wiki entry here as a forum topic?

I guess it was going to be deleted because IMO it was nowhere in the standards of a Wikipedia article (no offense). However lots of people have revised it and made it better and now it says (No longer pending deletion.).
