NINTENDO QUEST (review) - Forces Of Geek
There were 678 Nintendo games releases for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America.
This is the story of lifelong friends issuing a challenge to one another to collect them all in 30 days.
Jay Bartlett is a super-fan of Nintendo and Star Wars, already has most of these games but must start from scratch using his own money and no online purchases in a race against the clock.
Nintendo Quest is the documentation of that journey and the hero’s challenges along the way as real life and anxiety set in as stumbling blocks toward achieving the goal.
Jay Bartlett and friend Rob McCallum (writer/director) have been friends for 30 years.
To channel the thrill of the hunt and also to showcase some great Nintendo trivia and history, Rick started a Kickstarter under the name NES Club.
