CONTEXT:
I know many of my subscribers are mostly from the U.S. and Europe, so I feel the need to explain what this is.
As you may already know I'm from Mexico City. In 1989 two men from an advertising agency Gustavo Rodríguez and José Sierra bought a NES console. They were so impressed with it, that they decided to create a bulletin with tips and tricks for Nintendo video games. Later on in 1991 this bulletin evolved into an official Nintendo magazine, thanks to the support of Teruhide Kikuchi. This magazine was called "Club Nintendo" and it was basically the Latin American version of Nintendo Power.
This magazine was published by a national TV network called Televisa. When Gustavo pitched the idea of a TV show to the executives, they rejected it, so he went with TV Azteca, which was their competition. TV Azteca approved the idea and that's how the TV show "Nintendomanía" was born.
Nintendomanía was a 20 minute TV show 100% dedicated to Nintendo, with previews, reviews, tips, tricks, interviews and live event coverages of everything Nintendo was doing back in those years, such as E3 and the Shoshinkai trade show. The show was conducted by Gustavo Rodríguez himself and his son Gustavo Javier Rodríguez Ávila.
Nintendomanía had several seasons, one of those seasons had a very interesting 3D animation that served as an intro for the show. It was some sort of a video game level, with obstacles, cheesy video game sounds and a very iconic video game like theme song. This is a remake of that 3D animation and main theme.
Next year we're celebrating the 30th anniversary of the show. It was first aired on March 25th, 1995. I also made this to pay tribute to the late Gustavo "Gus" Rodríguez who passed away on April 11th, 2020.

Y bueno para todos mis amigos de Latinoamerica, ustedes ya saben de que se trata ésto, espero que les guste la animación. La hice con mucho cariño para todos ustedes, para todos los colaboradores del show y por supuesto como un tributo para Gus que en paz descanse. Y finalmente como una pequeña celebración por el 30 aniversario del programa.
El logotipo de RTX no es de broma, la animación de verdad fue renderizada con Raytracing en una gpu de nvidia. Me hubiera encantado renderizarlo a 4k, pero mi computadora estaba de rodillas sacando humo, así que tuve que dejarlo en QHD 2560 x 1440.
El tema musical es un cover realizado por mi. No encontré información sobre el compositor original, si alguien tiene el dato, hágamelo saber para incluirlo en los créditos. Al parecer tampoco tenemos información sobre quién creo la animación original.
