The story re-imagines the real-life console wars as a fantasy tale — the Segua Kingdom is locked in an age-old war with the Ninterudo Empire for dominance of the land of Consume. Segua now finds itself on the defensive, but an unlikely hero has risen in the form of Gear, a boy who brags about his breakneck speed. Gear helps turn the tide of the war.

Ringman · Sep 22, 2012

So pretty much Hyperdimension Neptunia?

Slygmous · Sep 22, 2012

I initially thought Gear was referring to Game Gear, which would not be a good hero.

He'd just sit around eating batteries...

The Grim Heaper · Sep 22, 2012

... I don't get it. I like Carvai or whatever her name is, though.

Vamphuntr · Sep 22, 2012

Can't wait for the bloodbath when they will leave the 16-bit era and reach the dreamcast.

Takao · Sep 22, 2012

What is this called? Is it an actual anime short, or is it just character art?

OK, that was good.

I love how there's always a women praying in anime promotional material.

It's an actual series that will begin airing in October.

Amazing.

jonno394 · Sep 22, 2012

My memory is hazy, did the game gear turn the tide in Segas favour?

I think 'Gear' is supposed to represent Sonic the Hedgehog.

Blood Diamonds · Sep 22, 2012

Ok who are Fosta and Fare supposed to represent?
Can't figure them out.

Sho_Nuff82 · Sep 22, 2012

So Saroid = Samus
Pirika = Pikachu
Marcse = Mario

Ohhh, but still Nintendo ended the 16bit years in a stronger position than Sega right?...hmm

Fare looks Fire Emblem-esque, or is it just me?

I think Fare is supposed to be Fire Emblem. Haven't a clue who Fosta is meant to rep.

Gia = Sonic
Opul = ???
Neru = Phantasy Star?
Tejilof = ???
Ramses = Columns
Marsce = Mario
Greege = Luigi
Zerig = Zelda/Link
Carvai = Kirby/Dedede
Fare = Fire Emblem?
Masa = Earthbound
Saroid = Metroid/Samus
Pirika = Pokemon/Pikachu
Fosta = ???

Tem's my guesses so far.

Fosta looks like Fox and Fare is probably some FE character.

Orin GA · Sep 22, 2012

1. Sonic?
2. ???
3. ???
4. ???
5. ???
6. Mario
7. Luigi
8. Link
9. Nana
10. Roy?
11. Lucas?
12. Samus
13. Pikachu
14. ???
15. Profit

Cow Mengde · Sep 22, 2012

Star Fox

Fox Star

Fosta

It's clever!

Charoncaori · Sep 22, 2012

This must be SEGA revisionist history if their sonic character is named after the game gear.

Ice Mage · Sep 22, 2012

Sho_Nuff82 said:

And I guess Greege is Luigi, and Zerig is Link...
Edit: Ugh horribly slow

So this is a tragedy then?

Souther · Sep 22, 2012

BY2K · Sep 22, 2012

So we all know this anime isn't going to end well, right?

Nezzhil · Sep 22, 2012

Carvai is Kirby or Dedede. Hahaha

SonicMegaDrive · Sep 22, 2012

So in the end, after the long war between the Segua Kingdom and Ninterudo Empire, Ninterudo is left in a weakened state and the neighboring Sorouny Empire swoops in and takes over.

Oh yeah, but the irony is gaming side didn't know about this. The manga's been running for a few years I think.

Wyndstryker · Sep 22, 2012

Sega / Nintendo (Snes/Gen) = Medieval
Sony / Nintendo (Ps1/N64) = Napoleonic
Sony / Nintendo / Microsoft (PS2/GC/XBox) = WWI
Sony / Nintendo / Microsoft (PS3/Wii/360) = WWII

Well, thats how it should go imo.

I am actually deeply surprised by this. I didn't think it was possible in this day and age for this to have NOT happened.

Marcse is awesome haha

remz · Sep 22, 2012

for people wondering about the "Tetris being on team SEGA" thing. Whilst many people in the west associate tetris with nintendo, SEGA Tetris was ludicrously popular in japan, and arguably better.

Yeah, wasn't the Famicom Tetris like, really really bad?

It was very different from the awesome NES Tetris, from what I recall.
