Last day to contribute to 100 Yen! If you'd like a digital copy or DVD now is the best time to grab it! http://www.indiegogo.com/100-Yen-The-Final-Coin

They made $10k more than their original goal of $20k, I am so excited for this!

Looks great. Can't wait to see it. Arcades seem to be slowly dying in Japan too, so it is a little bittersweet to see this.

Same feeling here..
Joined a community in MIXI, about one year and half ago called SGP (Save Gamecenter Project), followed by many top players.

That made me realize that Arcades in Japan are fading away like in the rest of the world...:sadness:

The collection drive has been over for a few days, I'm waiting to hear some updates about how long it will take to finish up the post production and get the digital copies ready. I donated for the Digital copy and dvd pack, I'd love to wait for the DVD to come out and watch it on the big screen, but I'm too excited for this, looks like digital first then a proper viewing party down the line.

bump, the digital download was released for those who contributed to their indiegogo campaign. Just dl'd it this morning and watched it when I got home from work. It's a good documentary, it isn't revolutionary by any standards, but seeing all the candies, and games being played is really cool. I didn't know gaijin punch was in it too, I always assumed he looked like David Cross.

What's Paul participation in the documentary? It will be nice to see him getting interviewed or anything.

The official site only gives the option to buy the dvd.
Do you think there will be a digital copy available?

massimiliano · Apr 30, 2013

Aaand PAX sold out again in 6 hours.

SHIT.

DVD today.. can go fuck itself.

Many shows, movies and documentaries are still released on DVD while at the same time their trailers or extra material gets a 1080p youtube show.

Hope they release a 1080p stream to buy/rent or whatever.

Got my digital copy yesterday. It's alot of eye candy! Love it, a must see if your into the genre.

jdotaku · May 1, 2013

I've been anticipating this for awhile and have meant to get the book also. hope it finally comes out and quickly!

CaseyTappy · May 1, 2013

Just watched it and really enjoyed it !

badboybill · May 1, 2013

Just ordered a copy , thanks for sharing.

oldschool · May 1, 2013

Looks pretty promising, I'll wait for a torrent and then purchase a DVD most likely. I'm not a fan of HD rips, is that all it was released in for the digital download?

dcsas · May 3, 2013

its worth a watch....but i dont think it was worth the 25 bucks i blew

Bazza1000 · May 20, 2013

Looks great really want to watch this now, may have to get a copy ordered

Just watched this last night and I am tempted to agree. A bit underwhelming. I wanted more detail from the interviews.

Also why was SRK represented but not this forum???

Just not cool enough it seems. Who cares about SRK anyway, here's where it's at.

I agree with you, but still, it was a shame/missed opportunity to not have any SNK represented or mentioned.

A brief interview with Shawn or another mod would have sufficed if the mother company wasn't willing.
