The Story of Nintendo

Technically really poorly edited (e.g. Talking about the NES , inserts screenshot of Atari Misske a command).

Factually incorrect (asserts the Nintendo Seal of Quality refers to the technical reliability of the system, instead of the aspect that Nintendo was vouching it was just not crappy software). Numerous other factual errors.

Experts are weak using words and phrases they don't understand: one calls Nintendo a "conglomeration"; one exist praising Miyamoto and says "contributions cannot be understated" (you mean overstated, pinheaded).

Completely misses how Donkey Kong cane to be.

The narrator I almost sounds like a bad chatbot iat times.

Poor effort overall.

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.

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

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.

Almost one hour of my life wasted by this "documentary". The "experts" are not expert, the facts are partially wrong, the timeline is messed up, the montage is lazy.

Frequently they start talking about a console and then the montage skips to a console that was mentione minutes earlier. The script is repetitive and uninteresting The whole thing feels like it was produced in 15 minutes just to meet a deadline. They didn't even bother finding the correct footage for the games they are talking about. Imagine talking about the origin of coin-op games and then having to watch 10 painful seconds of Donkey Kong on GameBoy Color.

Terrible stuff, really.

As a child of the 80s, and Nintendo fan I was looking forward to watching this documentary. Unfortunately upon watching I was left very disappointed with the production of this mini documentary. A lot of repetition in the script, lazy edits, the researchers getting a lot of relatively well known facts wrong. There's a lot about this documentary that frustrated me, the thing that frustrated me most was the conflating facts of the (arguably) 3 main gaming markets (North America, Europe and Japan). This documentary is not a good resource of Nintendo history. The team behind this documentary get an F for effort, D for execution, or 5/10 for me.
