Well this might be a bit different to what your talking about, but remember the movie - The Wizard? it was made in the 80's and was about this young kid who was great at video games, at the very end of the movie he is competing against other kids at some competition - they're playing the brand new game - Super Mario Bros 3!
it's a great movie with loads of games and it even shows one kid using the power glove on his NES!
heres a photo of the movie:

I used to LOVE REBOOT!
i remember one episode when the little kid (cant remember his name?) he felt a bit left out because he was little and not very smart. He went to some super computer and made a wish that he was smarter than everyone else, but what actually happened was that the computer made the whole city dumb (by making them 8-bit) while the kid stayed as smart as he was (16-bit)
i wish theyd make more episodes!
