Bootleg?

There's no packaging available, but the eBay listing reveals the back of the watch. It's completely blank, there's no copyright info.--Platform (talk) 22:39, May 18, 2025 (EDT)

@Platform It is possible that is is unofficial, though some of the official Super Mario pachinko machines like this one don't have copyright information on the back (though it is instead on the front). The Nintendo Power Super Mario pocket pinball games (examples) also don't have copyright information on the front or the back. Nelsonic (talk) 22:57, May 18, 2025 (EDT)

I don't see any connection to Nintendo Power for the pocket pinball games. I went through all three 1988 issues and they're not mentioned. The only NP contest award that's pinball related was for Super Mario Bros. (pinball) in a 1992 issue. Without copyright proof, this watch game article should be deleted.--Platform (talk) 01:19, May 19, 2025 (EDT)

@Platform Ah. Sorry. I was referring to the box's branding for the pocket pinball games (as shown here), which places a Nintendo Power logo in the top left. Can I move the current Watch Game page to one of my user subpages and remove current links to it until I can come up with proof as to whether or not it is official?

@Nelsonic That would be the most prudent approach. I have images of questionable merch sitting in a folder for months or years waiting for proof.--Platform (talk) 09:07, May 19, 2025 (EDT)

@Platform Alrighty, sounds good. I'll move the page. Nelsonic (talk) 11:05, May 19, 2025 (EDT)
