Last year we interviewed Rob McCallum, the man behind the NES Club, about his planned documentary to follow "Jay Bartlett, as he tries to amass the entire NES library (NTSC retail games) in 30 days with no online purchases". Beyond the road trip vibe the film is aiming to highlight and explore retro gaming culture and Nintendo / NES history.
The project is now pretty much finished, and McCallum has been in touch with us to announce that he'll be running a fresh Kickstarter campaign from 6th January for those that essentially want to 'pre-order' the film or have one of a range of physical rewards. As distribution is likely to be digital-only for general consumers, the Kickstarter will offer the following physical rewards (and more) as options - should the funding target be hit.
- A Chance to Host an Advanced Screening of the Nintendo Quest
- Special Edition DVD and Blu-Ray with Extra Content
- An Expanded Soundtrack of Original 8-bit Music
- NES-replica Boxes, Cartridges, and Disc Bundle
Gaming celebrities such as Tommy Tallarico, Carrie Swidecki, Todd Rogers and Billy Mitchell will be in the movie, and we're keen to see how this road-trip and look back at the NES turns out.
We'll be sure to share the Kickstarter link when it goes live; are you looking forward to this documentary movie?

Will it come to Netflix in the future like the other video game films?
Looks interesting!
Is there not some that have less than 10 known copies in existence ? e.g Stadium Events
This sounds cool.
@unrandomsam would those be considered "NTSC retail games"? I would think they are excluded...
Retail games possible. All games impossible.
I'll make a movie like super size me where I try to eat nintendo tapes only for 30 days.
I'd be interested in watching this
I'm really excited to watch this. Will be supporting this Kickstarter campaign for sure. I actually got to meet them this summer at London, Ontario's first Comi-Con. Even have a signed poster. Its was a so much fun. Wish you guys the best on getting this project out the door!
hi gamechasers!...ah wait
I'll definitely support the kickstarter as well. Being a collector myself, this would be right up my alley.
Sounds like a great documentary. Looking forward to it.
