Wreck-It Ralph

Well, is there a You Tube link to the talking Ralph toy? It might make a good decoration for my room.

I dunno. I guess it's a bit early for that.

Oh, yeah, about Sugar Rush. I thought the game would have Mode 7 graphics (akin to the first Super Mario Kart), which, as is in the movie, get "enhanced" in the characters' perception of it. But I heard the graphics are better than that, is it true?

[EDIT: Mattonymy, before my last comment in the previous page gets forgotten, remember - I'm sorry, I never wanted to derail the thread.]

[EDIT 2: Also... Sijo, if you can, please make sure to check out the previous page as well. I posted another analysis of mine, as you seem to like those.]

I was considering getting the movie soundtrack, but I wanna save up for the DVD/Blu-ray combo pack. Still gotta try out those games.

Sugar Rush is from '97, so it would be contemporary with the N64 and PS 1, so the graphics make sense.

In terms of 90s Cabinet racing games, though this was the best you could get in terms of graphics

Good but nowhere NEAR the quality of Mario Kart 64

I think by 1997, games like Sega Rally and Cruisin' USA had come out, which had fully 3D graphics. Didn't Mario Kart 64 rely on some sprites still?

64's courses were fully 3D, but the characters were sprites.

Does the movie take place in any specific time period? Because I think I heard something about Sugar Rush being from the late 90s on this thread.

Also, I think that a classic-styled throwback game (like Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Abobo's Big Adventure, and Super Meat Boy) would be the best bet for a Wreck-It Ralph tie-in game.

It takes place in the present. Hero's Duty is from 2012, so Sugar Rush is exactly half as old as Fix-It Felix Jr.

Thought so. Yeah, arcade racers in '97 were graphically miles ahead of Mario Kart 64.

Arcades have always been ahead of consoles in terms of graphics.

@Bagof Magic Food - Huh, that's pretty odd, I haven't heard of a game doing that. It's interesting that you can get Sugar Rush to work, but not Hero's Duty.

Oh, maybe, I hadn't thought of that. Website changes can definitely mess things up.

@Alex Sora 89 - That's cool, no worries at all! Ah, man, that stinks, too bad you couldn't play them even if you wanted to.

@Super Gex - That's strange that Hero's Duty suddenly stopped working for you... As for cheats, if you play through Story Mode, there's several achievements that unlock that give you codes for powerups. The only ones I've used are Ralph and Calhoun as teammates, so I don't know how the others work.

@Mattonymy - I haven't gotten around to Sugar Rush quite yet, but I'm hoping now that I'm home from vacation I'll give it a try. (I keep wanting to play Hero's Duty though. )

@Super Gex - There's been 3 videos of the Ralph toy posted on Tumblr: Video 1 | Video 2 | Video 3

Huh. I was not expecting to hear Japanese lyrics in Sugar Rush Speedway.

And I can't find Vanellope in it, for whatever reason.

She's not supposed to be in the game; she's a glitch.

Vannelope's glitched on the Litwak machine remember?

I wonder if anyone'll end up getting and/or leaking Ralph's 3D model? It'd be cool to use him in Source Filmmaker, especially along with the Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2.

Wait for the Wii Wreck It Ralph game.

Cue ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!!! Ralph in Kingdom Hearts as a fan-made cutscene? Check. Ralph and Sora meeting Link and Mario? Check. And then akndjbvajòvbsdkjvsjajvbksvbaskbjkabrvjh—another fangasm! Not again!

If there's cameos in the Wreck It Ralph game, it will be probably be handled like The Simpsons Game ie mainly with Lawyer-Friendly Cameo. If they couldn't get the rights to Mario and Luigi for the film, the promo game is going to have an even more expensive time.

@Alex Sora- gee, now I see why Apologizes a Lot is in your page description! We *hardly* derailed this thread, there's such a thing as discussing multiple (related) subjects. Maybe it's because I've seen some real trolls in my time, but I hardly find you annoying at all. Just .relax and join the party!

And yeah, I guessed Crumbellina's name was a (multilingual) pun, because most of the other Sugar Rush characters seem to have names like that. Still, extra points to Disney for the flavor (hah!) added to the characters. It could also be a reference to Thumbelina, I guess.

It might be of interest to you (and others) to know that Disney actually makes *two* versions in Spanish of their movies- one for Spain and the other for Latin America; probably because the slang and accents are different enough that it bothers some people. In Wreck-It Ralph's case the versions are titled "Rompe Ralph" (Break Ralph) for Spain, and "Ralph el Demoledor" (Ralph the Demolisher) for America. I intend to see the film in both English and Spanish (both versions run here, since Puerto Rico is a USA territory) to check out the voice acting and compare the translations. I'll of course let you know my opinions here.

Oh, and about your Toy Story 3 question- Spanish Buzz simply got a Spanish accent! The other characters COULD understand what he said, but were baffled by the way he was acting (that is, like a Matador.) And the version made for Spain? From what I've heard, in it Buzz spoke in Catalonian, which is a language from a minority in that country that is actually quite hard to understand.

God, the song Owl City wrote for this is awesome. And believe it or not, I was hoping they'd use him. Has someone posted it here yet?

Yeah, I'd say we've got a contender for Best Original Song on our hands.

It's been linked to in Flash music player form in an article, but it hasn't been Youtube posted yet!

You Tube is easier.

It's been odd how my wishes for this movie have ended up being fulfilled. I wish that they use an 8-bit Disney logo, and that's what they do. I wish that they use an Owl City song, and that's what they do.

Have you tried wishing for a million bucks?

For each of us?

Don't tell her that! She'll get overrun by deer!
