Octopus Nintendo misspelling on rear. was created by gametothewatch
I'm new here but would like to ask about a Game & Watch that I found.
It is an Octopus OC-22 Wide Screen. On the back where the technical info is, Nintendo is misspelled. It is written as "Nintend" without the "o".
I searched around various places online and looked through eBay listings etc., and found only one other one like mine : www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-Game-amp-Watch...-OC-22-/372099223352
It's the only other one I could find though.

Does anyone know if this is just a manufacturing error? A little uncommon perhaps? Friends in Japan also searched for info about this but couldn't find anything on it. Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find anything on it :) Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

This misspelling is known. There are some games known that have this typo.

We discovered this a while ago:

Still, there are not many such games out there, so it's special kind of.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry I didn't see the earlier post that you mentioned before starting this topic.
Very interesting indeed. The one I have is from Japan. If I find out any further info on this, I will be sure to share.
Thanks again.
