I'm not entirely convinced those are official characters like Bowser, SF, etc. are. more than they are homage designs. NetherRealm might've politely declined or allowed a facsimile.

Wouldn't be surprised if Donkey Kong will serve as an inspiration at a turning point in the movie.
Villain to hero and all that.

Hope Mario makes an appearance. I don't know why. It just seems like he should show up, since Bowser's already there.

Looks a bit like Metroid meets Halo. The hexagons everywhere in that one HUD pic along with most of the armor design (hell, the helmet's basically identical to Master Chief's original one) along with Metroid's more sci-fi approach and more fantastic enemies. Kind of surprised (not in a bad way by any means) they took that route for shooters rather than Call of Duty/Battlefield/etc.
can't give it all away
The girl looked like Femshep too.

I can't get enough. I love games and I love John C. Reilly.
This is just perfect, will go see in November.

It looks like Anya with a long shot looking weapon. Just put her in the long sleeve Gears armor instead of the summer variant used in GOW3.
They probably went with a sci-fi shooter rather than a modern military because it's easier to keep at a PG level. Blasting alien bugs with laser guns is on the edge, but I can see how they could keep it down to Disney-friendly level. Shooting real people with real guns immediately jumps into at least PG-13 levels of violence.

It'd be nice if this movie got younger kids to try out older video games and hopefully take a permanent interest in them.

Q*bert shall rise again.
Wreck it Ralph game intro sounds really REALLY close to Castlevania 1 NES.

probably a bonus game on the Blu. they had a Wall-E game made similar like the sprites in the credits for that Blu.

I don't know why but the "generic green alien" reminds a lot of Medusa from NES Kid Icuras. And if not that then it feels like its from somewhere else, but I can't put my finger on it.
Anyhow this movie is weird for a disney movie in that I don't know how it will end. I'm having a hard time finding a cop-out way to have him overcome diversity and turn good without messing up the video games.

The robot is Saw-Hand from Cyborg Justice.
It's an old Genesis game. Come on, people.
You know, didn't Roger Rabbit and Toy Story do the exact same thing, just with animation and toys respectfully?
I remember gags in these movies with Betty Boop being a waitress because she was still in black and white and Mr. Potato Head unable to keep his pieces together and wanting Andy to get a Mrs. Potato Head. Just because Q*Bert is homeless on the streets because no one's played Q*Bert in years doesn't mean if this will or won't be a good movie.
Really, like Roger Rabbit and Toy Story, the focus isn't on the cameos from the respective medium they are focused on, it's about Roger Rabbit & Eddie Valiant and Woody & Buzz. This movie will succeed or fail, not on the video game references, but on if people actually care about Wreck-It Ralph.
Oh, didn't even notice that. Yeah house of the dead 2
WHAT. I see it, but I don't believe it.
I never did figure out that game's controls but I loved it anyways.

I think that's just to signify that he's a boss. I seriously doubt that they'd use that version of Medusa when the new KI's version of Medusa looks very different. As for the other enemies, I do think some are just generic monsters like the yellow robot and the zombie, though the night elf might be a specific warcraft character.
Edit: Was Saw-Hand a villain? Keep in mind that all of these characters are supposed to be "bad guys".

Dungeon Keeper sunshine!
But this is a group of bad guys and wasn't Saw-Hand was the player character (good guy)? Also, Saw-Hand doesn't have spikes on his shoulders.

I dunno, maybe they can make a game multiplatform and have exclusive characters/content for the different consoles. If we can get games like Cross Edge out here in the US, it can't be too difficult for a big company like BVG/Disney to get a couple cameos for a game adaptation.

Yeah, in the game he's your protagonist. Actually, you can construct your own cyborg using different parts, and the 'saw hand' is one of the options they give you.
It might not actually supposed to be him, but it sure does look like him.
