Death of Nintendo

About This Movie

Death of Nintendo is this charming blend of comedy and drama that really captures that fleeting, colorful essence of childhood. Set in the 90s, it follows four kids—Mimaw, Paolo, Kachi, and Gilligan—as they navigate the throes of adolescence, all while the backdrop of early video gaming looms large. The film's atmosphere feels nostalgic, almost like a scrapbook of summer days, and the pacing lingers just enough to let those little moments breathe. It’s not just about gaming; it touches on puppy love and growing up, which adds depth. The performances are genuine, grounding the whimsical premise. There’s a certain rawness to it, especially in how it uses practical effects to evoke that era’s charm. It’s these small, heartfelt details that set it apart.
