storytelling?? what the hell is story about mario? honestly miyamoto is the most overrated person in videogaming history. where is yu suzuki? he reinvented the arcades, 3d gaming, open world sandbox gaming
@thejobloshow Yeah, this series is following the "mainstream" story even though games like Adventure and especially the text adventure genre were the first games to have protagonists and story!
@thejobloshow A text based adventure is not a 'Video Game', it is a 'game'. There is a difference. Text-based adventures, as the name implies has no video, and no graphic - without a graphic/video - it is not a "video game" just a "game".
@workbutterfield Nope. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device, but following popularization of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display device. It has nothing to do with the content in a video game.
Actually, Colossal Cave Adventure was not the first. It was the 1975 arcade game Gun Fight that first introduced the idea of a game having player characters and some kind of story.
It's also worth noting that Gun Fight was designed by Tomohiro Nishikado, the creator of Space Invaders and the man who inspired Miyamoto to enter the gaming industry.
Thats not all they got wrong. For example the Atari VCS,it was designed in 1977 to play just a few games and they couldn't sell it, so bazillions of them sat in warehouses for years until they figured out how to market it by adapting arcade titles to play on it. I don't like how they glossd over the arcade scene in the late 70s and early 80s either. They just focus on a couple hit titles while there was a lot more going on. And they should've mentioned how the bootlegs helped ruin the industry.
actually they didnt. the lady distinctly says "the red suit that jump man wore" they didnt exclude the fact that he was first called jump man. its artistic. you tell the audience what they want to hear to get instant relatability to what you want to show them.
@BitterPoetMadman he was originally called jump man yes, but he went on to be called mario.. even miyamoto tells that this is true. jump man = mario... its a shame that someone that thinks he knows games writes dumb comments on videos.
@rockyflores0905 It's a bigger shame that you just admitted I was right, and that my comment never said that Jump Man wasn't Mario just that he wasn't originally called Mario.
@BitterPoetMadman He is called jump man around 2 minutes, but they probably didn't want to confuse views, who mostly don't know that mario was jump man. Its easier just to say mario.

I seriously hope Mario lives on in this century. I'd hate for Master Chief to be the unofficial mascot of video games.

Did people really *cry* when they played Zelda? :)

crying properly not. But being pulled into the story, and feeling with the characters; most likely.

He wasn't originally called Mario in Donkey Kong, he was called Jump Man... It's a shame even a DOCUMENTARY got it wrong.
