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.

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.

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.

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.

I was hoping that this would had been better than what was advertised but instead got the opposite. I feel like they rushed it and in the end released this nonsense of a video that came up short of what Nintendo deserves to be recognized for. The sound mixing at certain points and clips that were used make this seem like some high school dropouts put this together. It's unfortunate that Nintendo would allow these amateurs to create a disaster that they claim is a documentary on their company. Hopefully someone here in the states will put something better together that will pay tribute to Nintendo and not be as disastrous as this video.
