The Story of Nintendo

This is one of the poorest produced video game documentaries ever made. The use incorrect stock photos for Nintendo products and it's simply a few talking head documentary with some inconsequential "reviewers". Each of these reviewers are either too young to have experienced or researched the ideas they are talking about. I felt as though this was an hour of my life that I would never get back. The best way to describe this is a waste of bandwidth. Skip this one and look for a different video game documentary. Running with Speed and Console Wars are far superior documentaries that I would recommend watching instead.

You will not learn anything new from this documentary.

At one point the narrator talks about Disney making a deal with Nintendo to create cards for kids.

In the next frame you have someone sitting in a chair telling us THE EXACT SAME information we just heard.

You also have the "Experts" using words like "I think", as in, they are not sure about the information they are giving us.

The production quality over all is not great. I had high opes for this documentary.

It looks like they took these people and set them up where ever they could, gave them a chair and pointed lights at them. It looks that cheap!

It was funny to see how the movie gave credit to Atari for creating the interchangeable game. But Jerry Lawson did it first with the Fairchild Channel F. Are you telling me with all of the research committed to this documentary they could give the true creator of the video game cartridge 10 seconds of credit. With that omission this documentary lacks credibility. The movie did a good job discussing the roots of the company in Japan with the playing cards and later toys but when the documentary credits Atari for creating the interchangeable game cartridge it is lazy researching & inaccurate information. They had the time to do the research and chose to omit Jerry Lawson.

I have no idé what i just watched, i dont get why there was no shots of real nintendo 8bit and just shots of nintendo mini. And when showing "Sega Genesis" a shot of atGames sega console is showed? Even if this was low budget documentary it should have hade no problem to be able to have real consoles in the documentary.

The once that are interviewed should at least know the different between lcd and led as they are suppose to be from that time when Nintendo was popularly.

And whats up with the bad quality of old videos ads that where cut in to the documentary? Looks like something that is copied from old realplayer stream as it is so blurry.

This is not a documentary it is a comedy movie.

Here is a piece of information, here is the same information said by a second person, and finally here is the same information again, by a third person, reading of a card.

Here is a second piece of information, here is the same information said by a second person, and finally here is the same information again, by a third person, reading of a card.

Here is a third piece of information, here is the same information said by a second person, and finally here is the same information again, by a third person, reading of a card.

It's like the Groundhog Day of documentaries - and made my head hurt, so only managed 15 minutes.
