This review is from: Famicom Dojo - The Complete First Season (DVD)

When I first started to watch these guys do their show via YouTube, I was floored by how knowledgeable they were. Who are these guys? And how do they know so darn much? When I found out that they were the authors of several Wikipedia pages on the subject of retro videogame systems, I couldn't have been LESS shocked. I mean, they practically know it all. But that's not why you should buy this DVD set. You should buy it, because it has been made with a LOT of love and care. You should buy it, because all this information is delivered to you in a very humorous and hip format. Imagine if the Saturday Night Live cast decided to act out the Wikipedia page for the 8-bit Famicom or NES (only funnier)!

So why should you buy this DVD if you can just watch all of their episodes on YouTube? Well, besides the simple fact that you should support people who go out of their way to deliver such an amazing product, for such a nominal fee. You not only get the episodes, but you also get commentary for each one, and you get the various specials that they have made.

If you grew up in the 8-bit era, as I did, then this show will give you a "behind the scenes" expose on what made those systems and their games so special. If you're new to the subject of retro games, then this is an excellent primer for you. Either way, the info contained within is excellent, and has never been delivered to you in such a delightful manner.

This review is from: Famicom Dojo - The Complete First Season (DVD)

To any fan of video games (retro and modern), I highly suggest this DVD. Not only will you learn a lot about the Famicom/NES (among other things), but the comedy is great as well. I've watched the content on this DVD in its entirety three times and I still find it extremely enjoyable. You won't go wrong with this!
