Disney Film to Have Cameo Appearances from Bowser, Dr. Eggman, and Street Fighter's Zangief!?
Disney has plenty of experience of making movies based on video games or having video games as a plot point, with the Tron series and the recent movie adaption of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time coming to mind. Well now they have an all-new video game movie, and it looks like it will feature the appearances of some of video game's biggest villains. This movie is called Wreck-It Ralph, and its a story about an old arcade-game villain (who to me seems to share many attributes with Donkey Kong) who escapes his game cabinet to go have fun in other games, all while proving he can be a hero. While this would get plenty of people into the theaters in its own right, Disney had to leak that certain famous video game villains will make at least a cameo appearance. Multiple sources have revealed an image of a Disney employee working on the film somehow, which features a screencap of the protagonist, Wreck-It Ralph, talking to Bowser, Dr. Eggman, and Zangief (from the Street Fighter series, if you didn't know) in a support-group setting. And in a closer look, the other guy on the screen looks like Dr. Wily from Mega Man (whose appearance has also been confirmed). Other famous video game antagonists that are set for an appearance are Kano from the Mortal Kombat series, and one (or more) of the ghosts from Pac-Man.
I was already interested in Wreck-It Ralph before this news, and now this will be one of my top late-year movies come November (that and The Hobbit). Anyways, I hope to have a special opinion post tomorrow, focusing on the 3DS. Look forward to it (because I sure do)!
