Distasteful fanvideo that even Nintendo might question.
25 June 2023
This "stuff" is seemingly made by japan lovers who don't care about anything but, and only but, what they like and what they want to see. To signify the japanese industrial rebirth after the Pacific war, the one started by the japanese army illegally bombing Pearl harbor without the declaration of war, this fanvideo makers used a footage from Hashima, also known as Kangoku(prison) shima(island), where japanese government used people from Korea and other Japanese colonies during the war, and used them as slaves. The makers PICKED that spot to say "Japan rose back up from the ashes of war". Distasteful is an understatement.

Anyway, This "so-called documentary" is more or less a youtube fanvideo with the editing skills and the visual fetish from 2013(yeah. When GTA5 was released and all those 70s disco reference was a thing). The speakers cannot even pronounce the names of the people and the regions right, and the narrator sounds like he was told to sound like a voice generator.

After finish watching the video, it left me thinking, WHAT DID THEY WANT TO SAY?

Did they make this because they just wanted to shout out "Nintendo is great and Japan is so fascinating"?

If so or not, they made this without considering what to focus on. Its people? Games? Competitors?

I can't tell.

They may have just put a long piece of paper on the table, put the timeline of Nintendo on it, sliced it by a decade or so, gathered Nintendo fans or Japan fans, asked them how much they know about that period, WAM everything into the video editor and cut it under an hour length.
