Do Toy Shops still sell “Game and Watch” games?
No (sorry). Nintendo stopped producing the “Game and Watch” Series in 1991 (and Toy Shops stopped selling them around 1995). The only way to buy the original games now is on the open market (which in reality means auction sites like Ebay, Yahoo Japan, Tradera and others). Other Collectors have told me that “G & W” games appeared quite often at Car Boot sales in the 90s, but owners have now got wise to ebay, and most games find their way there instead. Nintendo have released a series of games for the Nintendo Gameboy, called “Game and Watch Gallery”, but they are widely available and not collected, as such. How much do the original (1980-1991) games cost? £1000 will buy you up to 40 different loose “Game and Watch” games (but no extreme rarities), OR 10 medium/rare boxed examples, OR 4 quite rare NIB games, OR one “extreme” rarity (eg c10 boxed Mickey Mouse Panorama, or c10 boxed Egg). A complete “New in Box” collection (60/60) will set you back in the region of £12,500. Glad you asked
