Hmm...interesting. I think I got Zangief confused with Sagat (who IIRC became a villain for a while), and I don't know anything about MK lore.

[Pnx]

I actually think I recognize the blue-haired woman (?) on the left next to the rhino; I was replaying Dragon Quest IX the other day and fought a boss named Morag, who looks a lot like that.

The Demon Dude is probably meant to be Horny. I vaguely recognise the guys to the left and know I've seen many of them before (the Rhino and Robot) and some seem to be generic.

Though WHY the heck is Human Smoke and Zangief here? Neither of them are evil.

Reformed/recovering villains? Bowser isn't exactly evil either.

Dragon Quest, and Dungeon Keeper don't seem very likely, all the other ones I recognise are from arcade games, so I expect the rest of them to be from arcade games too. Also, "horny" seems to have an... axe? when he traditionally has a scythe, and he just... looks wrong.

[Neonivek]

Yes I know Horny is all wrong... But I really don't know many traditional devil characters in videogames.

[Zangi]

They say Zangief though.... at least that is what I hear... Didn't he work for Bison or some other badguy in some of the Street Fighter movies or shows?  Didn't seem like a bad guy in the game though...
Horny?  That is not the Dungeon Keeper's Horny... he is too gaudy...
Either way, I want to watch this now.

Of course! Russians in video games are always evil

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Except for all the times they're not.

Honestly, if Zangief turns into a minor commentary about how Russians are designated villains in video games like Modern Warfare, then my respect for it will shoot through the roof.

...Brilliant. That'd be a day-1 watch in theaters for me.
Okay, probably not, but that would be pretty awesome.

Only in the AMERICAN MADE Cartoon did they make Zangief a villain.

Mind you it was also an American Cartoon Pilot that made Morrigan a Villain too (You know... the protagonist of Vampire Savior / Dark Stalkers)

I agree... Bonus points if Sodapopinski pops into the room.

Also I recognise the guy beside the Zombie to the left... It is Kano from Mortal Kombat

Also nope apperantly Zangief is a villain now... FOR NO REASON!

You mean this right?  Kekeke

Yes that is also the video I saw it from.

Also... ZANGIEF WAS NEVER A VILLAIN IN THE VIDEOGAMES!

That can't be Horny. Even the horns are wrong. Looks like he's holding a trident of sorts. Generic "The Devil" IMO, could be anyone.

Zangief is a villain, anything is possible.

The Devil could be trying sell matches in the street during Christmas for all I care. There are probably more games with a Devil in them than Dungeon Keeper, and this one doesn't look like the one in DK at all, except for the fact that they're Devil-looking.

At least Zangief looks Zangief-like.

[quinnr]

I want to see Wreck-it Ralph too, looks like it could be pretty good. Then again, it could be terribad too.

That Beholder (lots of eyes floaty thing) looks familiar, not sure if it's just the race or a specific game though.

[RedKing]

They sold me with Zangief's line, 'Just because you are bad-guy, does not make you bad guy!'" 

That scene reminded me of the Pixar short Small Fry, where Buzz Lightyear winds up stuck in a support group for discarded Happy Meal tie-in toys. Which was freakin' hilarious.

Eye of the Beholder, maybe? If we're sticking to arcade games, I'm pretty sure there was a Capcom Dungeons & Dragons arcade game that had a Beholder as one of the major bosses.

EDIT: Saw an interesting comparison re: all the licensed character cameos...some are saying it could be to video games what Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was to classic animation. If it can live up to that comparison, I'd be plenty happy.

The problem I immediately got when watching the intro is it looks less like a movie made by videogame lovers.

And more like some parent who only watches his/her kids play videogames made a movie about videogames.

To quote: "When did videogames become so violent and scary"

Hmm... let me see... Wreck Em Wralph is obviously a weird combination of Donkey Kong, Mario World, Rampage, AND Bob the builder... So you were around when videogames were very violent and scary.

Plus a few of the videogames he ends up in... once again... seem more like a version of the videogame made by someone who doesn't play.

Also I should state that we arn't sticking to Arcade games... Since Eggman is there... and the Kano the game is using is the movie version / MKs after 3. (assuming it wasn't Kane from CnC)
