It Came From Japan
Shuwatch
こんにちは everyone! I’m doing something a bit different today, I’m going to show you some game related import toys I have in my collection. Today I’m showing off the Shuwatch! You’re probably thinking, what’s a shuwatch?? It’s a shooting watch silly :p It’s actually a lot cooler than it sounds. It was developed by Hudson Soft (notice the bee logo) for kids (well, boys) to help increase their shooting speed for games like Star Force on the Famicom. It counts the number of button presses in 10 seconds. The inspiration was Takahashi Meijin (aka the guy in the Adventure Island games) who was called Meijin because he was a master. He is able to hit the button 16 times in one second, so his score on this would be 160! I’m already having problems beating my friend Josiah’s score of 129!
