Though it’s only a brief and blurry shot (who can say they’re surprised for a Sonic the Hedgehog character) First 4 Figures have released a teaser trailer for their upcoming Shadow figure. If First 4 Figures’ typical quality standards are anything to go by, expect this be a great addition to the collection, though with…

Wonderful 101, Platinum Games’ new action/Pikmin-like/superhero/strategy…. adventure is shaping up to be an interesting title. I don’t really know how to classify the game as you can tell from my genre I created for it, but the game looks like its own genre, which the gaming world really needs. Confusion aside, the game finally has…

Of course, this means the addition of some new Wii U-exclusive features, including off-TV play. This announcement comes as quite the shock, as Team Yakuza’s long-running crime saga has…

Don’t get all the hate for this one, I think a connection to the upcoming movie is great. And it looks like he fits right in too

It’s not that the character doesn’t fit, or that it’s a bad deal for Sega, it’s simply that the time spent putting this character into the game will in some way or another take time away from something else that COULD have been put into the game.
I mean, will Ristar be in this game? I doubt it? Is it as a result of non-Sega cameo characters being in the game, probably not, but maybe.
Perhaps we’re just being a bunch of Sega Nazis

As a marketing ploy, it’s admittedly a brilliant idea, considering that his guesting in several games is the very conceit of the movie.
My issue is that it’s coming on a game that is ostensibly meant to celebrate the incredible roster of Sega characters, and it just seems like they’re exploiting the game’s inevitable popularity to get a bunch of marketing deals. Like Michael said, every minute wasted on these guys is a minute that could have been spent elsewhere.
Frankly, if it was just Wreck-It Ralph, I wouldn’t be a fraction as irritated. He makes a hell of a lot more sense than Patrick, but these highly-publicized marketing ploys are cheapening the game to me, especially when there’s more than one. I’ll totally admit that I’m being a “Sega Nazi,” and I acknowledge that money has got to be on Sega’s mind more than faith to their canon, but it just stings to have the curtain pulled away so abruptly to see a blatant money-making machine working away.
And for the record, Banjo Kazooie’s inclusion in the first game didn’t bother me at all. They were at least actual VIDEOGAME characters.
