Streaming service Crackle to present five-part documentary series Playing with power: the history of Nintendo March 1.
According to Deadline, this series was written and directed by Jeremy Snead and executive produced (and narrated, for that matter) by Sean Astin (aka Samwise from The Lord of the Rings).
It tells the “sprawling story” of the “secret” Japanese society and includes interviews with people like former Nintendo of America CEO Reggie Fils-Aimé, Xbox director Phil Spencer, former Sega CEO of America Tom Kalinske, Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell, NoA co-founder, Ron Judy and more.
Snead has already worked on a number of video game film and television projects and says producing and directing his latest series has been “a lifelong ambition” as an artist, player and director.
Astin adds to that – noting how he thinks this five-part journey “will open up the world of video games and this legendary company in a way most people have never seen” before.
Each episode of Playing with power: the history of Nintendo will be available on Crackle early next month. Are you going to watch? Leave a comment below.
