Really is rather good. It's got loads of footage of new gams, and a groovy into sequence. But there are 3 problems...

1) Where..are...the...demos??
2) The narrator is obviously just reading from script, and has no idea about games (lame example I know, but he said N - E - S (seperate letters) instead of just NES.
3) Whats with the exploding disk??

Everything else was good however. Play it on a surround sound TV, it sounds great. Really :D

Pish.

What a waste of money. NOM couldn't put a decent DVD together if someone else did it for them.

A 10 second clip of about 8 games, a narrator talking crap, a pants layout, a couple of TV adverts, and the credits.

Not only do I now have a crap DVD, but a rubbish magazine as well.

Meh, why dont they utilize the GameCube discs and use them for the extra footage and stuff.

T'is like that GC sized special preview disc that only ran on PC and not GC. But it worked in a PS2.. whats up with them? Complete retards or something?

N.E.S. Nintendo Entertainment System, so therefore that's its proper name.
People are too lazy to pronounce three seperate letters so the just say NES, and SNES

Putting lame example was a good idea then :)

I just say NES, and I've never heard it being called the N.E.S

Foreign concept and all. The DVD has *warped ma fragile little minnnd*

Some people called it then N.E.S instead of NES! Sounds more profesional to say N.E.S.

Nope, it's on a normal DVD...

And contrary to RM18, as much as NOM has flaws, I feel it is getting better. And SFA at last gets a deserving mark.

Before anyone asks, I do know, because I've played it. And it's good, if not a bit linear.
