Klei Entertainment stated that the game would still see the light of day, but it would not be published by Nexon. CancellationĪround July 2009, Nexon announced that they would not be the publishers of the game anymore, and as such, they would be closing the Sugar Rush website. The details of the other three were never revealed.

The difficulty could be adjusted to four different strengths. The first one was the Robot Battle, where players would fight robots that respawn. There were four minigames that could be played. The main point of the game was to get as many coins as possible, and these coins were gained by battling other players. During testing, players could choose between three different characters: a ninja, a brawler, or a morph. I enjoyed the movie more towards the end, as the twist and the mystery played out, but I wish they had provided more hidden hints throughout the show to keep it more interesting.Testing for the game started in late 2008 and concluded that same year. However, the movie itself is great for those Japan fans and gaming fans, who are reference spotting, and the movie doesn’t fail in that aspect. The underdog racer who is discriminated, the learning process she goes through with someone like herself, and the final acceptance of disabilities as a special trait. To be honest, It seemed more like a generic racing movie in disguise. To add to the Japanese connection, the fashion of game “Sugar Rush” is very similar to real world Harajuku fashion, and backed up with the antics of AKB48’s “Sugar Rush” song in the end credits.Īll in all, the movie’s story line is fairly generic, but uses terms and ideas that are more for the young IT crowd that grew up on shows like in anime, Reboot, etc. Immediately, children and adults can find a connection, compared to a movie like Toy Story which focuses mostly on toys of a certain generation. It’s no surprise then that the main characters are inspired by Mario and other clones, and that the supporting characters are actually from games in the real world. Their games and characters has inspired over 3 decades of gamers, and until the West recently caught up with their own AAA titles, Japanese game character names were known throughout the world. Gaming, although not exclusively Japanese, had its rebirth with Nintendo and Sega in the 80’s. Wreck it Ralph, or Sugar Rush in Japan, is a movie about a retro video game character (Ralph) trying to survive in a modern era.
