It appears it was originally at Videogame.Game And Watch before being moved to UN. I don’t know if there was preexisting discussion for that.
From my cursory knowledge of Nintendo history (ie. “who the heck is this” googling while playing Smash) I imagine the move was because Game&Watch refers to the series of consoles, which would each have a single game. I don’t know if that makes it better fit for UN or Video Game/. Maybe both? The former to talk about the history, hardware etc, the latter to talk about the game content? (Since it’s already there)

Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I'm fine with making a work page for the games and having a Useful Note for the hardware. Surely the recent Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch (released last year for Mario's 35th anniversary) can give us some additional tropes to work with, since the two included games (Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels) have fleshed-out pages that might not include features added to the Game & Watch versions (like a code for infinite lives and a save feature).

Bump. Other thoughts?

Bump bump. Time to call?
18:0 in favor of splitting the console and game system into different pages, and every other option is in the negatives. I think it's safe to call this one.
Y'ALL JUST GOT SHREKT
How sweet it is
Calling in favor of the proposed split.

I started Sandbox.Game And Watch for the potential VideoGame/ page. I'll expand it further tomorrow.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)

Do we actually have anything in particular to do here other than moving tropes to the work page? What should the game page have in terms of description so it's not redundant with the UN page? Sandbox.Game And Watch exists, I don't know what else it needs...

I removed natter from the Book Ends example on the sandbox (the 2010 Club Nintendo Ball Game & Watch wasn't the last Game & Watch since another Game & Watch was released in 2020, and either way, the main example was referring to the original line of Game & Watches from the '80s and '90s, not Updated Rereleases), and added some information related to the Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary Game & Watch.

Well, launch the work page and remove the stuff pertaining to the work from UsefulNotes.Game And Watch. Which I'll do now.

Also launched the sandbox and crosswicked it. Did some wick cleaning on the main page, too.
Seems like we are done here so closing.

Crown Description:
What would be the best way to fix the page?
This Useful Notes page focuses a lot on the games and their content and is formatted like a work page. Most of its content should be moved to a new Video Game page, but I'm not 100% sure how the splitting should be handled.
I'm back!
