I really hope that when the DVD comes later, this will be established in a post-movie short, much like how Toy Story has been doing after the third movie.

Y'know, I was listening to the Walk Hard soundtrack, and I realized I'm a little sad that Wreck-It Ralph wasn't a typical Disney musical if for no other reason than I love John C Reilly's singing voice and it would have meant more songs from him.

I'm at Disney World this week, and they have a Wreck-it Ralph arcade machine at Hollywood Studios!
It's not playable, though. I was so disappointed.

I wonder if the characters are aware that other versions of themselves probably exist in other arcades all over the world. Shame they didn't touch on that. Also it's odd that apparently nobody questioned the "unique" arcade cabinets at Litwak's that feature characters no other cabinet like them in the world has (ie King Candy, Q-bert characters in Fix-It Felix, etc)
It's a cartoon.

They need to think of these things
Like how do the toys in Toy Story move when they have no apparent metabolic processes?

Well just came back from watching it with my sister. Theater was mostly empty. We LOVED it! I was so surprised by my sister's eagerness to watch it as she never really was much of a gamer. I'd say I only wish there were a few more cameos of some sort, especially knowing that Dr. Wily was meant to be included. Speaking of which...
This would be a great thing to ask Sven over at Capcom Unity. I'm sticking with my theory that Street Fighter actually belongs to Capcom USA (seriously check the copyrights for recent crossover games it'll mention both Capcom USA for Street Fighter and Capcom for everyone else) and that there's some kind of funky setup when it comes to American companies licensing Capcom characters. Capcom Japan would just point to Capcom USA since it's a "Western" issue but they can only approve usage of Street Fighter but no one else, and it's probably such a mess that even Disney would rather not go through the trouble.
I imagine this is the same reason that Harvey Birdman game they published is full of SF cameos and no Phoenix Wright.
Yeah my sister and I sort of turned and stared confused at each other because we were just so surprised by it.
I say: BRING ON THE SEQUEL! Not to mention the KHIII world (Imagine something akin to FFVII's Golden Saucer with mini-games galore. Heck, they could do something really neat and make a fictitious FF Arcade game and have a gratuitous cameo from an older game as they switch graphic styles.
Oh and those two princesses that are supposedly Daisy and Rosalina sure didn't look that way to me. Colors really threw me off.

The setting isn't in 1997 - it has that modern DDR game.

Probably asked before, but is the actual game in the movie available? Looking at the 3DS game it's just a platformer.
I played Fix It Guy Jr on the website, but the Wreck It Ralph game? Didn't play Sugar Rush since it needed an update, but guessing it's not the same game as in the movie.
They really should've released all the games, it's kind of a no brainer!

I almost rented this, my finger was hovering over the "Add" button a Redbox kiosk. Thank god I didn't.
I've got to say, it's kind of dumb that they made a movie about video games, but the lead actor isn't contractually obligated to do the voice for the video games (both these WIR games, and Ralph's appearance in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed). Their sound-alike just does not do the job.
But the game is supposed to be from 1997, like how Fix-It Felix Jr. is from 1982. Although both push it pretty hard for games of that era, but it would've taken away from the movie to downgrade games further than they already had to be realistic.

Well if we can accept that ddr game and rail shooter can be from 1997, then so should sugar rush.
Azure Dream

But... they're not. Hero's Duty is supposed to be a modern game (note the "Power Card" thing at the end, instead of giving away quarters).
The movie is set in a modern era, not 1997. It's just the arcade has a bunch of older games.
Each of the main games are separated by 15 years. It's Ralph's 30th anniversary, from 1982. Sugar Rush came out in 1997. Hero's Duty got "plugged in just last week" (and the title of the Disney upload dates it as 2012).

I guess it was a laserdisc game.

Ahh I didn't you guys were referring to Sugar Rush being made in 97, my bad
Yeah, for a 97 game it is rather advanced.

Well, in the commercial they show kids playing Sugar Rush and footage from "inside" the game is pasted onto the screen.
Like I said, it's a laserdisc game.
Azure Dream

Nope, not forgetting. There's actually not a lot of "legitimate" Sugar Rush footage. I'm not really arguing about it looking too advanced, like I said above; the only moment that stuck out at me was when
she waved to Ralph
You see the young girl gamer playing Sugar Rush at the end of the movie and from her perspective it looks identical to what it looks like to the video game characters. It would have been more authentic to give it a lower polygon look to match 1997 graphics but I guess the film makers thought that might be confusing. Either that or they simply gave the game too early a release year.

No, they made a Sugar Rush fake commercial and it says it's "All New for 1997".
So Litwak's may have had it for a while.
EDIT: Seems it was explained already.

Ah gawd, I had to see this again! So I did. There were a few more things I noticed:
Also,
Seriously, though, this movie is outta-this-world amazing. I can't wait to see it a million more times and catch every little detail they crammed in! Because there are a fucking. ton.
the surge protector security guard for Game Central Station is the one who did all the graffiti! It shows him doing it in the credits (though they were names for the credits).
I dunno if this was already mentioned, but you can see Vanellope on the Sugar Rush game cabinet pretty early. She's on the side facing the door of the arcade, but she gets covered up by the "Open" sign within a few seconds.

It's more like they couldn't bother having a couple of seconds of having video game polygons authentic for 1997 to represent Sugar Rush in the real world.
If you consider that cart racers at the time looked like this (even in 2001) that Sugar Rush is a weird game from the arcade's perspective.
I'm guessing it's more that those games tend to have a lack of identity compared to the original arcade machines of old. People remember PSOne style games looking better than they actually looked

3D or 2D? Is the 3D essential like How to Train Your Dragon or is 2D perfectly fine? Did the 3D darken the image?
About to see this in an hour, so some advice would be nice.

3D is nice but not necessary. So far the only 3D movies I recommend would be Dragons and Avatar so I think my grading scale may be unfair.

Arcades were more advanced technically than their console contemporaries. Shit, we had this in 1996.
Sugar Rush a Model 3 game confirmed

go see it in 2D, you clearly see cameo characters better in the background, the colors and no headache associated with the glasses.
the action scenes are not 3D oriented anyway

The movie doesn't seem to be doing hugely well at the box office so far
Hopefully it'll pick up when it gets released in more territories.
Haha, what? This movie is doing perfectly fine.

Well it might still beat Tangled, but is that enough to ensure a sequel?

That was brilliant! It really was Toy Story for video games. Easy to see this being the best videogame movie so far. Laughed throughout, loved the reverse take on sexy battle chick trope but still having her feminine side intact.
So many nods to videogames, and thankfully they list them all in the credits. I even liked the J-pop song in there.
I think the universal complaint was you just wanted more game-jumping, right? The bit at the end credits was great but the plot would have meandering if it didn't focus on Ralph and Vanellope and had too much game-jumping. Maybe something for a sequel.
"You're not going TURBO, are you?" was a great catch-phrase.
My one gripe is the characters weren't that complex to be considered a genuinely great movie. It's up there with Toy Story 2 and HTTYD as one of the best 3D animated movies.

It won't outgross Tangled I suspect, but it also cost significantly less to make. Tangled is one of the most expensively made movies of all time, cost about 100 million more to make compared to Wreck-It Ralph
Tangled is kind of a special case with its gigantic production limbo. A sequel would cost probably half of it.

The bugs in Hero's Duty being the evil version of Kirby was an awesome idea.
And I'd rather play Sugar Rush than any Mario Kart.
