Casio launches limited-edition Nintendo Mother 3 G-Shock with a design straight out of the cult classic RPG

Casio has teamed up with the Mother video game franchise for a new limited-edition G-Shock, this time releasing a bright yellow model to mark the 20th anniversary of Nintendo’s Mother 3.

Design Details

Based on the classic DW-5600, often referred to as the Speed Model, the new watch leans heavily into the game’s aesthetic. The vibrant yellow resin case and band are directly inspired by the sunflower fields from Chapter 6 of the game, paired with red accents that reference the Mother series logo.

The hardware includes several game-specific details. The resin band is printed with pixel-art Mr. Saturn characters, while the LED backlight reveals a retro sunflower field graphic when activated in the dark.

On the back, the stainless steel case is engraved with the word “Potential!”. Additionally, this model includes a removable gold-colored wire protector over the mineral glass display, which is a first for Casio’s Mother collaboration line.

Underneath the gaming branding, it retains the standard specifications of a DW-5600. It features Casio’s standard shock resistance, 200 meters (20 ATM) of water resistance, and an estimated five-year battery life. The watch weighs 55 grams and ships in a custom sunflower-themed metal storage tin.

Pricing and Availability

Getting one will require navigating a lottery system. The watch is priced at ¥19,800 ($122) and will be sold exclusively in Japan.

Lottery applications open on the Hobonichi Mother’s Shop website (www.1101.com) starting July 17, 2026, at 11:00 AM JST and will close on July 30, 2026, at 11:00 AM JST.

For those local to Tokyo, a sample unit is currently on display at the TOBICHI Tokyo gallery until July 29.
