I ran across this a few weeks ago. Great information and an inside look at a few of the modern developers.

Yeah, watched it a couple of weeks ago. An excellent documentary, no doubt about it.

To see that dude playing Ketsui(?) on his mate's cab and just sitting there blathering away while doing so was pretty hardcore.

Just wondering is this the same French company!, that did the Metal slug documentary which came out a few years ago.

By the way thanks for this! Can't wait to watch it!

When this came out a long time ago, there was a torrent with english subtitles. Worthwhile download to get a good documentary in higher vid quality.
