Nintendo has one of the most fascinating stories of any company out there, video games or otherwise, and <\/span><\/span>Playing With Power: The Nintendo Story<\/span><\/span> is the latest examination into its long history<\/a>. The five-part documentary series is coming to Crackle on March 1 and takes a deep dive into Nintendo\u2019s founding as a playing card manufacturer over a century ago to resurrecting and redefining the video game industry and beyond.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The series is written and directed by Jeremy Snead (<\/span><\/span>Video Games: The Movie<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>) and executive produced by actor Sean Astin, who also narrates. <\/span>Playing With Power<\/span> sits down the several gaming luminaries, historians, and former Nintendo employees as they\u00a0discuss the company\u2019s success, like the famous\u00a0Wii craze, as well as its controversies, such as its perceived monopolization of the game industry in the 80s and early 90s. Appearances include Wil Wheaton, Alison Haislip, Reggie Fils-Aime, Phil Spencer,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Tom Kalinske, Nolan Bushnell, Tommy Tallarico, and Cliff Bleszinski.\u00a0IGN<\/em><\/a> has the exclusive trailer (in the embedded tweet below), and\u00a0it’s\u00a0well worth watching.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n From trading cards to Super Mario Bros. to the runaway success of the Switch, watch the official trailer for Playing With Power: The Nintendo Story. pic.twitter.com\/CNbyZlGAqf<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 IGN (@IGN) February 17, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n In a statement shared by <\/span><\/span>Deadline<\/span><\/span><\/a>, Snead had this to say about the series. \u201cProducing and directing Playing with Power has been a lifelong ambition of mine as an artist, gamer and filmmaker,\u201d Snead said. \u201cTo see my show not only come to life with such loving care through my team and I\u2019s efforts but to also have the opportunity to partner with such a talented and experienced team like Screen Media and Crackle to release the series to the public has just been a dream come true.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Nintendo is one of those subjects that no matter how many times I learn about it, whether it be in books, articles, or quick four-minute videos<\/a>,\u00a0I never get tired of hearing about its history. I\u2019ll be keeping an eye on this (and, I guess, looking into a Crackle free-trial or something). What do you guys think of Playing With Power?
