The Evolution Of Nintendo (2010)

Back In 2010 I was a TV student at Algonquin College and for my final assignment in EFP I decided to shoot a documentary (my first and only doc) "The Evolution Of Nintendo" was handed in, graded, then thrown onto a hard drive and forgotten about. 7 years later, I've been going through some old drives and personal stuff and I decided to upload it to youtube. I hope you all enjoy it and as a hardcore classic gamer, I look forward to discussing your favourite games! Cheers.
