Kickstarter for NINTENDO 64 QUEST Launches With Epic Rewards

10 years ago, filmmaker Rob McCallum and his best friend Jay Bartlett took on a videogame challenge the world had never seen before: collect the entire North American NES collection of 678 officially licensed games in 30 days with no help from the internet. 

The documentary (one of the most fun videogame docs out there), recently got a special Blu-ray release from Vinegar Syndrome (a small amount of Limited Edition copies are still left as of this writing).

Today, the Kickstarter for Nintendo 64 Quest – the sequel series – launches with a dozen exciting tiers to support the production, with rewards ranging from digital and Blu-ray copies to hosting your own local screening. About the project, McCallum says,

The Nintendo 64 represents a unique time in video game history. It was the beginning of the 3D revolution and an attempt at bringing the future into our homes. It was a time where the internet was in its infancy and gaming was still best side by side on a couch. Much like the 90s, there was a lot of momentum behind trying new things and experimentation was encouraged. Winners stood out but even the misses became noteworthy discussion points that sometimes lead to something amazing! It’s a time that seems incredibly foreign to today’s gaming landscape – and I don’t just mean the evolutionary difference in graphics. The N64 era may just have been the BEST era in gaming and it’s been criminally underrepresented in documentaries – until now.

Here is a full list of rewards for the Nintendo 64 Quest Kickstarter:

• 13 episodes across 2-DVDs, Blu-Ray or Digital Access!
• Bonus Material on a 3-Disc Blu-Ray Set that includes material exclusive
• Your Name in the End Credits!
• Associate Producer Credits!
• ONE SIGNED N64 Console by many of our participants!
• Signed Post Cards by Jay and Rob!
• Signed N64 Controllers by Jay and Rob!
• Tickets to the Online Screening OR Ticket to the WORLD PREMIERE EVENT in London, ON Canada!
• and much more!
