The buttons in the middle are used to select game type and difficulty level. With these buttons the game type is selected: option A and B are head-to-head games for two players, option C and D are games against the computer. Note how the options are read from right-to-left, in the traditional Japanese way. This indicates that this is a serious game, not a toy. The rules of Othello are pretty straightforward. From a start position with 4 pieces in the middle of the play area two for each player , the two players take turns placing one piece at a time.

When pieces of the opponent become enclosed horizontally, vertically, diagonally , they are swapped for pieces of the other player, thus increasing the number of pieces this player has on the board. When all places are filled, the player with the highest number of pieces on the board wins.

The manual provides some strategic advice, and indicates the good and bad spots on the board to place your piece. Obtain the corners is pivotal to success. Which one? We will be playing against the computer. We play using the plus sign, the computer uses the square. We take turns placing pluses and squares on the board, and soon the computer is ahead. When no moves are possible anymore, the computer counts the squares and pluses to determine who has won.

It was close, but we did lose. So, there you have it. There are cheaper ways to play Othello. But there is arguably no Nintendo item that is more valuable.

Great info you gave us! Only one question: the lower switches and blue button in the middle, what they do? The latter gives the score between the two players by calculating the squares and crosses, used when no player moves are possible anymore. Start Here! Anonymous February 23, at PM.
