Game and Watch: Mickey Mouse - Widescreen

Mickey Mouse (1981, MC25) is a Game & Watch video game that first was released as a Wide Screen game in 1981. The Wide screen issue was one of the better selling Game & Watch video games with an astonishing 1,200,000 copies sold, and understandably so as it stars the popular Mickey Mouse character.

Gameplay

In the Wide screen game, Mickey Mouse will try to catch eggs rolling down from different hens nests.  If one of them falls onto the ground, it'll crack and the player will have to start over. The eggs will move faster if the player chooses Game B, and they roll out from all four chutes, rather than just three in Game A. One point is awarded for every egg caught. When Minnie Mouse appears, a chick hatches from the broken egg, if dropped.

Trivia

• In some Australian states and some Asian countries, Nintendo wasn't allowed to release the wide screen game due to copyright issues with Disney in those continents/countries. So instead they released a game titled Egg, with the only difference being a change of characters (instead of Mickey Mouse you'd control an unnamed wolf).
• The Wide Screen version of Mickey Mouse could be seen in the German movie Die Story.

Rarity

Over 1.2 million were manufactured, so not particularly rare. Often several seen on Ebay.
