Console Wars
- Documentary
In 1990, SEGA, a fledgling arcade company assembled a team of misfits to take on the greatest video game company in the world, Nintendo. It was a once-in-a-lifetime, no-holds-barred conflict that pit brother against brother, kids against grownups, Sonic against Mario, and uniquely American capitalism against centuries-old Japanese tradition. For the first time ever, the men and women who fought on the front lines for Sega and Nintendo discuss this battle that defined a generation.
Console Wars is a documentary that chronicles SEGA's audacious challenge to Nintendo's dominance in the early 1990s video game market. Through interviews with the people who lived it, the film explores the intense rivalry between these two gaming giants, from the boardroom battles to the iconic characters that captured a generation's imagination. The documentary is now available to stream.
