Wissenswertes

Console Wars is a 2020 documentary film directed by Jonah Tulis and Blake J. Harris, exploring the 1990s console wars between Nintendo and Sega and Sega's rise and fall in the home console market. Based on Harris's 2014 book Console Wars, it was the first original film for CBS All Access, which became Paramount+.

Development

In 2010, Blake J. Harris received a retro Sega Genesis console, sparking nostalgia and curiosity about the console wars. Noting the lack of media attention on the topic, he began researching. In 2012, Harris and his business partner, Jonah Tulis, met with producers and game enthusiasts Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who supported publishing a book and producing a documentary.

The 2014 Sony Pictures hack, linked to North Korea and possibly triggered by Seth Rogen's film The Interview, leaked Sony's plans for many of their upcoming projects, threatening the documentary's progress. Sony transferred the rights to Legendary studios in 2018, and the documentary premiered on CBS All Access in 2020.

Harris used a VHD-to-DVD converter to obtain archival footage depicting the Nintendo-Sega rivalry.
