Game and watch gallery 3 is a nice introduction to game and watch games. This is the first one I played and it's decent. The only one I came back consistenly is the egg one. And mario bros sometimes. That's because the collection in this one is a bit weak. After shelving it after trying 2, it's easy to see. But I dont't have any problem with the remakes EJEM g&w gallery 2 EJEM.And one thing i'm going to say about all of them, is that the original games, don't work, especially the dualscreen ones.

Besides that it's a decent timewaster. And it's fun to check all the games at least once.

High 4/10

Pros: Once again, five classic and modern Game & Watch titles, but this time several more unlockable, however, the unlockable games are only Classic versions. But it still added tons more replay value, and incentive to complete each game included, just to unlock more games! The highlights this time for me were Donkey Kong Jr., Egg, and Greenhouse. Egg perhaps my favorite, as its design uses the risk/reward system really well (like how Octopus and Helmet did in previous G&WG titles), you play as Yoshi, and you eat cookies that are rolling down oven paths from four different directions. The further down the path, the more baked the cookie will be, but at the end of the path, if you don't catch it, the cookie will crumble and you lose a life. If you're able to nab the cookie at the last second, you'll get multiplied points, which is the real risk/reward element of the game. And if it's a Yoshi cookie, the chance to hatch a Yoshi egg, sending out a baby Yoshi to walk down a path and eat cookies for you, acting as a shield. It's pretty involved for such a simple game, but so satisfying! Perhaps my favorite G&W game in the Gallery series thanks to this clever design! Also, Donkey Kong Jr. here plays so well, and is so charming, it's a far better experience than Donkey Kong 1 in G&WG2... But in this game you can also unlock Donkey Kong II, the only "Donkey Kong 2" in existence, haha! I love it, and several of the unlockable classics, in this, despite being Classic mode only, are a great time.

Cons: Having said that, the unlockables only having Classic mode is a slight bummer.

What it means to me: I just really like Donkey Kong II, heh, and this one finally gave me the ability to play it. But yeah, this game is good, I recall getting it used from a school friend, it was the only G&WG game I didn't get at launch, new. Not that it mattered, grateful I got my hands on it any way I could, it's a fun time.

The game and watch series was one of the first games out there for gaming as a whole. They were a lot of mindless fun, and only really had high scores as a prize for playing them. Game and Watch Gallery 3 changes that foundation by adding a lot more to score attacking with unlockable prizes while learning the ropes of what makes these games fun. On top of the amazing presentation and endearing use of Mario characters for the remix gamesl; Game and Watch Gallery 3 is something worth playing if you fancy yourself as a mini-game nut.

Game & Watch Gallery 3 (G&WG3) is basically a fancy remake version of varies game and watch games from back in the old day; these game and watches were sold separately and only had one game on it with 2 possible modes. G&WG3 takes these games, mixes them all together and provides a nice fresh Mario coat to them that help make them not only more endearing, but fun too. While not all the games change mechanically, there is something pleasing to the eye with the changes made graphically to each game. Not only do most games have backgrounds, new characters, and enemies, but sometimes they throw in slightly newer mechanics or make things easier by giving you additional lives. While I can't say I fully played through this game without a rewind feature, I can tell that a lot of those extra lives really helped to increase weaker players, like me, to higher score attacks and prizes. See largely this game is just seeing how the games are with the new Mario aesthetic, and then realizing that you can unlock more things by reaching certain high scores. This creates a feedback loop where you keep trying each game to get more and more high scores in order to unlock things from the museum gallery that this game has. Sometimes the things you unlock are simple things like history of the past games, and other times it's unlocking new games or older versions of the games you been playing. While that is relatively it, the main selling point is how the game presents itself and the unlockables you earn so if hearing this draws you to a yawn, it's probably not for you.

I don't think G&WG3 is really worth looking into unless you're really interested in video game history. Even then, a lot of the factoids can be looked up and games that can be played aren't exactly up to snuff compared to the games that were released when this game came out or currently available today. That doesn't mean the presentation for this game isn't great or the new remixes mean nothing, just that it's hard to really sell this as something that someone should play. Really G&WG3 is just a neat novelty more than it is a game, and honestly it's fine for being exactly what it is.
