I never had the Christmas where I received an 8-bit console, my older cousins won that one. However I remember the excitement of getting my own 16-bit Super Nintendo one Christmas, my family doesn’t because they didn’t see me at all that day. Here is the movie of a boy at Christmas who wants one thing and one thing only, the original Nintendo Entertainment System. It looks to be a fun movie will a feel that parallels Jeff Kinney’s “Wimpy Kid” franchise.

Watched this last night on NOW Movies and was not disappointed. It was heartfelt with some big laughs and completely captured the feel of the late 80’s. Add it to your Christmas watchlist if you’re ready to feel festive.

That trailer is brilliant, and based on it alone, the film is now in my Top Five Christmas films list, and I haven't even watched it yet LOL. Anything with Neil Patrick Harris and Steve Zahn in it are always usually good. I didn't get a NES for Christmas when I was young, my mum bought me a Sega Master System with Alex Kidd in Miracle World already built in. And then at some stage later I got Alex Kidd in Shinobi World and Road Rash, I think. The first time I played a NES was at my mate's house. He had Super Mario and Donkey Kong. I'm definitely going to watch this as soon as I can.

I was master system 2 with Alex the kidd built in also. Never own a NES but did get the SNES when that came out. To be honest I think the master system was the better of the two in terms of games but the NES found it’s fame with Mario.
