I was wondering what the battery life for the club nintendo version of ball is... Is it longer or shorter than the original? It uses a different battery (CR2032 i believe) so that was making me wonder.

The manual states 9 months.

Thanks! I bought it to be a player and the best price i could find for it was the japanese version, and I dont know how to read japanese. lol (however if it was chinese i might have been able to figure it out!)

You're welcome. Yeah, I have the Japanese version too but fortunately I'm able to read the manual. It says approximately 9 months with one hour of gameplay per day.

There can be no comparison because it isn't just a matter of battery power. Even though the old Ball and the new one look alike on the outside, their internal components are completely different. 9 months should be the standby time, if you play with the game a couple hours every day my guess is that the battery will run out in a couple of months maybe sooner.. Still, no way to tell for sure..

I guess the only way to find out would be to compare them side by side... On a unrelated note, do you guys consider the ball reissue the 61st game and watch or just a variant (I.e disk-kun SMB)

On a unrelated note, do you guys consider the ball reissue the 61st game and watch or just a variant (I.e disk-kun SMB) Hi Alecrob, welcome to the forum! I echo Mike's sentiments with regards to your question about the battery life. I own one of these re-issued Ball games, but, have never played it. However, from speaking with other collectors, including some who have actually taken the game apart, and like Mike said, though they look pretty much the same on the outside, they're quite different on the inside. As for your "unrelated issue" question, IMO, I would not consider the 2010 Ball game a 61st G&W. To me, it's nothing more than just a re-issued game to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first G&W ever released. AC

I guess it can be classified as a variant then and not a separate game. Maybe they will reissue some of the nintendo toys from the 60s, like the ultra hand (is that what it's called?) and the love tester...

Should change it.

Imho not really, because a variant is something released at the same time, based on the same technology but varies subtly (different logo, color or package). The new ball is a modern release and can't be compared to the original game&watch line. Michael
