I think they're going overboard on the whole Sega thing, but Sega definitely have their place and came up with some amazing technology for their consoles. They kept Nintendo honest too.

They're making it seem that it's only going to focus on NES/SNES vs. Genesis.
If this reaches into the 32-bit generation it might be hard to come off as not being that way. It's just a matter of how bad the curbstomp is.
EDIT: Though even within the 16-bit generation they can make both companies look like idiots with turning down Sony deals. Which at least Sega was in hindsight, though Nintendo's greyer.

Sony finally defeats the evil Nintendo empire in the sequel.

Of course, Master System wouldn't fit the narrative.

Tyler Perry as Miyamoto.
They've made other great movies. Superbad for example was written by Seth and Evan.
In Console Wars episode IV, Xbox ONE gets the shit kicked out of them, with PlayStation 4 returning as the dominant race and Nintendo Wiiu facing extinction. In the after credits we see the Amazonian approaching Earth.

The amount of salt in this thread is silly. Goldberg and Rogen only directed one movie and it was good.

No, Nintendo was in the (home) video game console market longer than SEGA was. Nintendo is also older as a company, having been founded in 1889 whereas Service Games was founded in 1940. Given that Nintendo was making (Hanafuda) playing cards at the time, you could also make the case that Nintendo is the older "game" company as well.

Yeah, hiring Rogen and Dudebro pretty much says what type of atmosphere they are going for. Now, yeah, video games are vijeo gaems, but that doesn't mean that it is not a business like, say, Apple.

Sega is not a competitor anymore, you can rewrite their history. Its a shame this old juggernaut with his old hardware is still in business...
Maybe why Sony picked it up, especially if it ends with Nintendo screwing over Sony with their CD add on. It could paint Nintendo as evil as some people in the industry felt they really were during the 80's/early 90's despite their success.

50/50 was a Goldberg/Rogen film, as well.
But this is less about the actual movie and more about seeing who can get off the forum equivalent of twitter turds about Seth Rogen
I also like the idea that they can't cast asian-american actors. Because they can. They probably will. It'd be pretty hard not to.

So what are the odds of them referencing the failed PlayStation (disk drive) proposal?
Ending leaked:
"I dunno, man. Nintendo's just too strong. We had a hell of a run, though, didn't we?"
"Yeah, man. Hell of a run."
(shot of two buds sitting on a porch watching the sun set)
"Hey, you think anybody's ever gonna beat 'em?"
"Nah, who could ever compete with those guys?"
Zoom out as the music builds, all the way out to orbit, Earth spins, zoom into Japan
Down to street level, violins speeding up now, the camera zooms past the shops and people into a warehouse, through the window, down to the first Sony Playstations (tm) rolling down the assembly line.

This actually could be really cool with the right writers, director, cinematographers and actors. There was a lot of crazy Mad Men type shit going on at that time.
Instead it looks like everything here is wrong, being directed by two stoner comedy directors, it makes out like Sega was this innovative underdog when they just jumped onto the bandwagon when Nintendo started making fat stacks and tried to wrestle control away from them with bullshit like BLAST PROCESSING and violent games.
I have very little hope for this, please surprise me, Rogen.

well at least console gaming will finally get a good movie adaptation.
Ah, didn't see that bit.
This could be risky for Sony. I mean, Sega is a publisher on thier platform. If they put something in it that offends Sega, could it damage their relationship?
