Nintendo Quest is a show about a passionate gamer named Jay Barlett, who sets out on a journey to acquire all of the original 678 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games within a 30 day period. At the beginning of the series, Jay gathers a team of fellow collectors and sets out on his quest, armed with nothing but his knowledge of the Nintendo gaming system, his love for gaming, and a map of North America highlighting all of the retro video game stores.

Throughout the journey, Jay faces many challenges as he travels from store to store, navigating through treacherous weather, and dealing with unique characters along the way. Each video game store presents a new obstacle for Jay, and he must rely on his expertise in the gaming world in order to negotiate and barter for the games he needs.

Jay must also stay within his budget, which is set at $8,000, forcing him to be strategic in his purchases. With the help of his team, he keeps track of his spending and strategizes his approach, evaluating each purchase to ensure he doesn't exceed his budget.

The show offers a unique insight into the world of gaming, particularly the world of retro gaming, as Jay provides commentary and insight into the history of each game he is collecting. Throughout the series, viewers not only learn about the importance of these games in the gaming world, but also about the culture and community surrounding retro gaming.

In addition to the thrill of the hunt for these classic games, the show also offers a glimpse into the personal life of Jay and his team, as they bond over their love for gaming and their shared experiences along the way.

Overall, Nintendo Quest offers a fun and engaging look into the world of retro gaming through the eyes of a passionate collector. The show is a must-watch for anyone who loves gaming, particularly those who have a soft spot in their heart for the original NES system. Through Jay's journey, viewers can experience the excitement, challenges, and camaraderie that come with collecting, while also gaining a deeper appreciation for the world of video games.
