What about Jerry Lawson?

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.

Lazy disappointing documentary

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.

Skip it.

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!
