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.
