A lovely coming of age drama... It's a very funny and touching film.

Glenn Heath Jr.

The Film Stage

Anchored by four fine leading performances, the film finds its groove in that particular sweet spot of subversion, even if certain bits and pieces are far more satisfying than the sum of its parts.

Rated: C+

Film Inquiry

Although Death of Nintendo may not be the most ingenious piece of filmmaking, it does manage to find a focal point of inspiration despite adhering to the very familiar tropes of the coming-of-age narrative.

Asian Movie Pulse

"Death of Nintendo" seems to have been made with the best of intentions, and the presentation of the era definitely evokes a sense of nostalgia. In the end, however, it remains a rather faulty effort, which fails to retain interest until the end.

Eye for Film

Even when it's rough around the edges, these are characters that we want to spend time with and, in fact, they would make a great gang to build a television series around.

Rated: 3/5

Moveable Fest

...although it will take some time for [the characters] to laugh about it, the endearing comedy lets audiences do so immediately.
