As a company, we operate on an international scale with locations in the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain, among others. Nintendo Co., Ltd., headquartered in Kyoto, Japan, has created franchises that have become household names worldwide, including Mario™, Donkey Kong™, The Legend of Zelda™, Metroid™, Pokémon™, Animal Crossing™, Pikmin™ and Splatoon™, through its integrated hardware and software products.

Nintendo aims to deliver unique, intuitive entertainment experiences for everyone, manufacturing and marketing video game devices such as the Nintendo Switch™ family of systems, developing and operating applications for smart devices, and collaborating with partners on a range of other entertainment initiatives like visual content and theme parks.

Are we strictly sticking with video game documentaries? If not, here's one of my favorite documentaries of all time following some girls with a dream, and a school, and a legendary female wrestler/coach training them to become pro wrestlers in Japan(Also called Joshi in their native country). This is no WWE or AEW sports entertainment, show biz glamour. What you will see will shock you, absolutely brutal, and you will never see pro wrestling in the same light again. This is real as real can get it. I hope you guys enjoy it.

You just gave me an Idea @Kid Dynamite.

You mean as in violence and stuff?

 

[RageBurner]

You mean as in violence and stuff?

Or themes that touch a bit too closely on politics and other things that might strike up controversy. We are not trying to curtail people's ability to have healthy, constructive conversation, but sometimes things do get out of hand.

OH, HELL YES!

I LOVE HAVING AN EXCUSE TO SHARE THE POISONER'S HANDBOOK!

I watched this documentary in Chemistry class in high school and it's honestly very interesting. It basically chronicles the birth of modern forensic science. The full thing isn't on YouTube, but I did find it on Internet Archive. I don't know how to embed Internet Archive videos here if we even could, so I'm just posting the link to it here.
