A documentary miniseries that is compelling, lovingly made, excellently researched, and comprehensive. It dives into the video game industry as a whole, before always arriving back at Nintendo. It takes its time, and things could definitely be tightened, but the gameplay and archival footage playing over pauses works for me.
