The official CBS blurb reads –
“An Official Selection of the 2020 SXSW Film Festival, Console Wars takes viewers back to 1990 when Sega, a fledgling arcade company, assembled a team of misfits to take on the greatest video game company in the world, Nintendo. It was a once-in-a-lifetime, no-holds-barred conflict that pit brother against brother, kids against grownups, Sonic against Mario, and uniquely American capitalism against centuries-old Japanese tradition. For the first time ever, the men and women who fought on the front lines for Sega and Nintendo discuss this battle that defined a generation.”
The docu-series is based on the book by Blake J. Harris (who also co-directs the doc) and executive produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
Console Wars premieres on CBS All Access September 23rd.
