WARNING.
INCOMING GAME.
WARNING.
INCOMING GAME.
As for Wily... I guess he couldn't get his green card. Or, a more realistic explanation... Disney simply doesn't own the license to Megaman.
-
Doesn‘t really make sense though, why even model him in the first place? I seriously doubt they‘d start doing it before getting permission. It makes no sense that they can get permission for Streeet Fighter, Mario, Sonic, Mortal Kombat, etc., but not for Megaman :/
That said, I can‘t wait for this movie :D
-
So...
... is Wily in the final movie? Somewhere? Anywhere? Yes or no? :B
Also, probably obvious enough, but I'll say it anyway: If you talk about the movie at-large, please put plot-relevant spoilers in spoiler tags! Just in case. x:

CRAPCOM REMOVED WILY SO THEY MUST MEAN MEGAMAN IS DEAD [tornado fang] YOU CRAPCOM YOU'RE NOT TAKING MY MONEY ANYMORE
-
I think Wily's not in there simply because Eggman can do anything Willy could do in that movie and he's much more recognizable.
-
Do note that existing real videogame characters only make cameo appearances, none of them really have roles.

Seems to be a pretty great movie on its own.
-
Oh, no. I wasn't expecting any of the real video game characters to do anything important. Other than Q*Bert, I mean.
Also, I realized this a while back, but what the [tornado fang] are Dr. ... ugh... "Eggman"... and Sonic even doing in this movie? And Bowser, for that matter. This movie is supposed to be about arcade game characters. Granted, you could argue those three are "arcade game characters," the first two due to cameo roles (I think?) and the latter because of Vs. Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart GP, but... eh.
-
ummm
it's about video game characters
not just arcade characters
not sure where you got that idea
-
It might have something to do with the fact that Ralph and company are arcade game characters who live in an arcade game within an arcade... but hell, who knows.

It's about video games in general.
just because they're in an arcade doesn't mean only arcade game characters can show up. from the start, their plan was to include all game characters, or as many as they could fit.
mario isn't in because they couldn't find a spot worthy of his status, and any cameo they felt wouldn't do him justice. if there's a sequel, they might.
-
doesnt sonic have like a 5 second cameo? How come he's on one of the posters....
-
No appearance of anyone from the Mega Man series in Wreck-It Ralph, but there is an audio nod. Apparently, "the sound effect that plays when Felix gets a pie is the same sound effect used when Mega Man gets an enemy ability from Mega Man 3 onwards." I guess that's better than nothing!

On Wikipedia, I believe, it said that Roger was in the list of VAs for the movie. For those who don't know, Roger Craig Smith is Sonic's voice actor from Colors on. That means Sonic has lines. That means it's probably a little more than a five second cameo.

I heard he has a lot of cameos.

Ha, ha. No.
Mario ain't cheap, girl.

Oh please, like I say things like that just for fun.
Check this article out (http://www.gamesradar.com/wreck-it-ralph-9-amazing-things-you-couldnt-possibly-know-about-movie/)
After seeing an early screening of the picture we were lucky enough to get a chance to chat with director Rich Moore and writer Phil Johnston, and came out with a bunch of information about the movie.
Mario's clout kept him from having a cameo
A big part of the fun of watching Wreck-it Ralph is spotting all the gaming cameos--and while we won’t spoil every appearance in the film, we will say that one of the biggest gaming mascots of all time is conspicuously absent. After seeing the film one of our first questions for the creators was, “Where’s Mario?” According to both the writer and director, he was just too important to waste on a simple cameo.
The creators definitely considered Mario making an appearance in the movie, but they couldn’t think of anything important enough for him to do. They didn’t want a brief, 20-second joke for the master plumber--and they doubted that Nintendo would either--so they tried to find a more weighty scene for him, perhaps with the film’s Mario equivalent, Felix Jr., but it never came together. Director Rich Moore is holding out hope that, if they’re lucky enough to get to do a sequel, they can find a place for Mario. Next time.
see? i wasn't just talking out my ass.
-
Oh, Mirby.
You're so easily convinced.
Of course they aren't going to go and say "Nintendo is dicks, and wanted too much for Mario".
: ]
-
Or maybe I'm just not as much of a jaded pessimist as you are.
Consider this: in a movie about video games, it would only be natural for Mario to be there somewhere. Yes, he may have been expensive, but they got Bowser, didn't they? It makes sense that they couldn't find somewhere worthy of Mario's status that even Nintendo would be agree was sufficient enough for Mario to be used. It's not all about the money; a place worthy of him is also key.
-
And yet, Sonic was in there -- repeatedly -- doing his thing and losing his rings. Then again, as I'm sure many people will remind me, "Sonic isn't nearly as famous/important/awesome as Mario and never has been."
-
That's pretty much it yeah. He's an icon of gaming as a whole, not just of a company.
-
HA HA HA HA!
You people are so funny.
Oh so funny.
You will stroke the Nintendick, whenever you can.
But seriously, if he's such a [tornado fang]ing gaming icon not putting him in is a bigger offender, in my opinion.
And no, Bowser is not Mario. Hence, he does not count.
They just couldn't get the money to put him in, and they are trying to make a bullshit excuse. This is corporate world, fools, try to remember that.
And I'm not being pessimistic here, but REALISTIC.
In any case, I'm looking forward to the movie. I heard it evokes many feels.
-
Speaking of "feels" (that is such a stupid phrase), I found something out via TV Tropes recently. Apparently, Ralph meets a girl in Sugar Rush who's actually...
[spoiler=Minor (?) plot-relevant (?) spoilers.]dummied-out content for the game, unable to leave because she's "unfinished content" and doomed to spend the rest of her days all by herself in a part of the game only a few skilled hackers and such will ever get to see.[/spoiler]
... then again, if we've learned anything from the recent happenings of Sonic the Fighters, things can easily change years and years later. So maybe it's not forever so much as "for a while." :D
Still. It really put a whole new spin on the topic that I never really considered before. Seriously. I half-cried when I read that.

Wow.
Man.
That's actually pretty freakin' deep.

saw the movie this Saturday
the humour was a hit and miss most of the time, but I really enjoyed the main story and characters. That's pretty much my only thoughts.

I did read that he was in the movie somewhere. I kind of went wut at that too.
Anyways, I don't expect to actually see the movie at the theaters since my family's kind of strapped for cash but worst comes to worst piratebay is my friend.
-
this was a phenomenal movie
laughs were had, tears were shed, it was great
and the cameos were nice too
-
I'll probably see this, which is rare for me, because I try to boycott all the ugly CG movies.
-
So, I finally broke down and saw it. I have to say, the movie was pretty slow in the beginning, but once you got to the middle of the movie, it really picked up quickly! And man! This movie is surprisingly dark for a kids' movie! But also extremely heartwarming. The interactions between Vanellope and Ralph are just filled to the brim with "daww" moments. And laughs. Lots of laughs.
"Double-stripe!" X3
Now, I will say that Robotnik, Sonic, and a number of other characters really had no business cameoing in this movie. This movie is about game in a "retro-style" arcade, not about gaming in general. All the console-exclusive cameos (there weren't many, but they were there) were an unnecessary feature, considering there was a million arcade-exclusive characters they could have used. (Most of which, they did. Heh.) But since they were purely cameos, it really didn't do much. Really, the only video "real-life" game character that got a serious role in the movie was everyone's favorite foul-mouthed cube-hopper, Q*Bert! (I'll be seriously surprised if he doesn't get a new game after this movie.)
You know, this movie also makes me wonder... This was just one bunch of games in one arcade. If they got another Wreck-It Ralph machine hooked up to the same power network, would Ralph end up meeting himself? And would the other Ralph be just as discouraged as the one in this movie? Maybe this quandary will be answered in the sequel, if there is one? (Though, I think the video game serves as a "half-sequel". It also justifies console game characters appearing in the arcade, somewhat.)
All and all, great movie. Would easily "wreck"-ommend it to anyone who likes heartwarming movies with happy endings and video games. :3

Sonic The Fighters was on Arcade ;)
-
Though it takes place in an arcade, it is not purely about arcade games and their characters. As we've said before.
It has, is, and always will be about gaming in general. The arcade is nothing more than the setting; the movie isn't about the arcade, but someone who's been the bad guy for years and begins yearning for something new. Something different. He doesn't want to be a bad guy anymore.
That's the movie.
Not the arcade, but Ralph's struggle and the events surrounding that struggle.
-
Sonic The Fighters was on Arcade ;)
Not only that there were quite a few play choice arcade cabinets. Mortal Kombat was originally an arcade game too!
...Makes me wonder why Dirk the Daring didin't cameo, which is odd as the arcade game Dragon's Lair helped revolutionize gaming. Also a mega man lookalike appears in the background chuggin' beer (or I could've mistaken him for an in-game NPC, given how far he was) in the bar scene, when Ralph is talking to the bartender.
-

There's also SegaSonic the Hedgehog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7vPi7Hokyw), but I think it's a Japan exclusive, so it's rarely known.
But like everyone says, it's not strictly arcade only, so there could be other console characters that could have a cameo other than Sonic and Eggman. 8D

oh yah Street Fighter was on the arcade too
speaking of street fighter im sad that im the only guy who knows the characters. Also the little reference/joke in the movie
[spoiler]M. Bison says "You're not going turbo are you?!"[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Though I thought that referenced SF2 Turbo, as the movie went on I'm pretty sure that referenced Turbo, the true identity of King Candy and the first person to gamejump, resulting in the disposal of his game and the one he jumped into.[/spoiler]
Just sayin'.
-
Its a double reference! 8)
Or they did it to throw people off
or just me off

Probably to throw people off, in the same way that
[spoiler]King Candy's love of pink was referencing how he wasn't actually the King at all, and that the castle wasn't his either. He wanted everything in there to be pink to make it his domain[/spoiler]
There's lots of things in this movie that seem one way at first but end up being something else in the end, and I love it for that. :D
-
maybe spoilers
[spoiler]That is why I love Turbo. Chevok's Gun is my favorite trope.[/spoiler]
-
That's something else I liked about the film. All the seemingly random, but completely relevant plot twists and turns. There was just enough there to not be overwhelming, and each one was entirely worth paying attention to.

Here's the Sonic the Fighters cameo
(http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbyw0niZow1qk4vnwo1_500.jpg)
-
Oh, kick ass. I didn't even notice that.
And yes, I know. Bowser was in an arcade game, too. (At least three, actually: Mario Kart GP 1/2 and, of course, Vs. Super Mario Bros..) So the movie actually has me on a pure technicality. XP
-
I'm just glad the film industry got over their phobia of game franchise movies.
-
I love how Sonic near the start is essentially doing a sonic says, on returning to your game.
[spoiler] Sonic mentioning that you cannot respawn outside your game and therefore die for real is also something of a foreshadow the the danger characters like Ralph, Calhoun and Felix are in, and Turbo himself, since once he gets bug zapped, since that isnt his game, "King Candy" is gone for good.
speaking of which, Turbo caught me completely and pleasantly by surprise. I did not see that coming.[/spoiler]
-

[spoiler]Oh yeah me too. I thought his history was just told to define that term for the audience, since I'd wondered what it had meant.
But for him to reappear, I did not expect that. :3[/spoiler]

[spoiler]That's totally one of those things you should have seen coming, but there was absolutely no possible way you would have, you know? Like, it's totally obvious in hindsight, but there were absolutely no signs it was going to happen.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]that means it wasn't obvious.
Speaking of which, I totally missed it the first time around, but when the Hero's duty spaceship goes flying into Sugar Rush, it smacks straight past sonic, making him lose his rings, lol.
(http://www.darknoise.co.uk/Sonic_Wrecks/wreckitralph00.jpg)[/spoiler]
-
Ha, Sonic's the one to preach, he'll permanently die if he gets touched again :p
-
funfact, when they told Sega they wanted to do a scene where Sonic loses his rings, they told them it can only happen if he falls over. He didn't fall over in the scene they had done, so they re-animated it.
-
[spoiler]Was I the only one that caught suspicion when King Candy was joining the race for the first time?
I said to myself "He's the king, why would he want to race them? Wouldnt it be unfair since he has more experience?"[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Princess Peach always races with mario and the gang, doesn't she? I assumed he is also one of the playable characters, and therefore also goes for the avatar thing they race for.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler=Ending spoilers]To be fair, Vanelope Von Whatever turns out to be the Princess of Sugar Rush in the end, but keeps on racing anyone, so... But all things considered, King Candy really is the odd man out, given how different he looks from the likes of Taffida and Candlehead and them.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Considering that the big reveal is Vanellope was the main character, as she appeared on the arcade cabinet.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]What was the Turbo Twins' true fate? I heard people say that they're actually those two donut cops, and I hear that they died a long with TurboTime. One of the mysteries that no one can solve.[/spoiler]
