The tourbillon is cute, I like it! Not 25k like, but it's great for the throwback video gamers.

Not a strong showing if the kid at the helm wants to be taken seriously.

I like Mario kart, but when the website told me to “wait for the Official Drop on October 20” … isn’t that what sneaker releases and hype clothing releases are called ?

Yes agreed, but everyone seems to be using the term 'drop' because that's what their targeted audience is accustomed to nowadays.

The kids no longer use the terms Phat or Groovy.

I have been a fan of the game for a long time.

I like the execution of the tourbillon, but i don't like it "pay retail" much.

For some reason I had a flashback of redeeming my free silver Atari jacket after purchasing my 2600 console. Not sure these collabs are my cup of tea but to each their own.

Outside of the co-brand, I think the designs are ok.

I'm an 80's child and have had a handful of friends who don't own mechanical watches mention this release in conversation, so I think this will be successful in the target market they are shooting for.
