Trailer—The Story of Nintendo

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.

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!

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.

Ok this is bad...really bad, so many factual errors, like the Nintendo Game and Watch being an, and I quote, LED handheld! Pretty sure led wasn't a thing in 1980,try LCD 🙄 Terrible "experts" screenshots and video shown of non Nintendo games while talking about actual nintendo games! I managed to watch it all, but as a lifelong Ninty fan it pains me to see utter pants like this! Even video of the sacred Donkey Kong was the incorrect aspect ratio and stretched to 16.9 and just shows the lack of attention to detail that true fans of nintendo would make sure we're correct. Avoid unless you want some inaccurate waffle about one of the worlds leading video game companies!

This "stuff" is seemingly made by japan lovers who don't care about anything but, and only but, what they like and what they want to see. To signify the japanese industrial rebirth after the Pacific war, the one started by the japanese army illegally bombing Pearl harbor without the declaration of war, this fanvideo makers used a footage from Hashima, also known as Kangoku(prison) shima(island), where japanese government used people from Korea and other Japanese colonies during the war, and used them as slaves. The makers PICKED that spot to say "Japan rose back up from the ashes of war". Distasteful is an understatement. Anyway, This "so-called documentary" is more or less a youtube fanvideo with the editing skills and the visual * from 2013(yeah. When GTA5 was released and all those 70s disco reference was a thing). The speakers cannot even pronounce the names of the people and the regions right, and the narrator sounds like he was told to sound like a voice generator. After finish watching the video, it left me thinking, WHAT DID THEY WANT TO SAY? Did they make this because they just wanted to shout out "Nintendo is great and Japan is so fascinating"? If so or not, they made this without considering what to focus on. Its people? Games? Competitors? I can't tell. They may have just put a long piece of paper on the table, put the timeline of Nintendo on it, sliced it by a decade or so, gathered Nintendo fans or Japan fans, asked them how much they know about that period, WAM everything into the video editor and cut it under an hour length.
