Sorry for being all Shooting Watch-crazy lately — but last night, I went looking around on eBay for vintage Shooting Watches, in order to compare their design with the new one. I didn’t find any originals, but I did find the Super Shooting Watch.

This Super Famicom-style variant on Hudson’s game-training device is rare enough, selling for $100 on eBay when one even appears on eBay. Seller cozyu is auctioning a case of twenty. For one thousand dollars. Who wants to go in on a case of Super Shooting Watches? I’m not entirely joking.

The back of the box mentions a UFO minigame — I wonder if this is one of the ‘secret’ functions in the new Shooting Watch? I’ll have to get out my kanji dictionary and try to figure out those instructions.

Unfortunately, while I was browsing eBay, I also came across this Hudson/Shooting Watch swag from TGS. Now I know that it is possible to go through life with a Shooting Watch towel, which makes my Shooting Watch towel-free existence basically meaningless.
