Before we talk about Mr. Game and Watch, before we talk about Maister, before we even talk

about up specials out of shields, let’s talk about Gunpei Yokoi [Goon-pay Yo-Coy],

the godfather of handheld gaming.

Yokoi is a big part of why the Game Boy got made, why every controller has a d-pad, why

your calculator has games in it, and why Maister has a main.

Nintendo is the oldest company in gaming, founded in 1881.

The card and toy manufacturer didn’t hit it big in electronics until Gunpei Yokoi came

up with the Game and Watch.

Yokoi was on a train in Tokyo when he saw a businessman who was so bored that he was

playing with a calculator.

Yokoi wanted to make a fun, small game that adults could inconspicuously play on their

way to work.

So, he made Game and Watch, a series of small, sleek, 80’s stylish handhelds that had three

or so simple mini-games on them and doubled as a digital alarm clock.

All of the character’s moves were taken from one of the many Game and Watch mini-games.

If you’re ever wondering why Mr. Game and Watch made it into Smash, it’s because the

Game and Watch was historic for Nintendo.

Not only was it a huge success that led to the gameboy, it was also the first system

to use and popularize the d-pad.

Wow, that little 2D dude was more important than you thought, right?

But you don’t want a history lesson on Game and Watch, you want a gameplay lesson!
