In a press-release sent out earlier today, Activision Publishing And Disney Interactive officially announced their plans to bring ‘Wreck-it Ralph’ to the Nintendo 3DS, DS and Wii. 

 

The game will be released alongside the film’s fall 2012 release. The “classic arcade” title will receive a new “modern look” according to the press-release. The game is being described as a “story extension”, to the movie. This is the same tactic used in Activision’s ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ game that is also being released alongside its movie-counterpart.

 

Activision and Disney released the following prepared statements to the press:

From the mind of Director Rich Moore (“The Simpsons,” “Futurama”), the film chronicles the journey of Ralph, the bad guy in an arcade game who sets out to prove he can be the hero after all. However Ralph mistakenly reverts to his clumsy nature and “wrecks” everything once again, unleashing a deadly enemy threat onto his video game neighbors. The movie hits theaters on November 2, 2023 and features an all-star voice cast, including John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch.

The game picks up where the movie leaves off as Ralph partners with Fix-It Felix and sets out to save their friends and home from a huge Cy-Bug invasion. Pounding through all-new levels in the “Wreck-It Ralph” universe, like Sugar Rush, Hero’s Duty, and Fix-It Felix, Jr., players will have to use Ralph’s destructive strength to beat by the Cy-Bugs, while switching back to Felix to repair the damage. With story campaign and two-player co-op on the Wii platform, players can switch between Ralph and Felix to solve action-packed puzzles and collect “Hero Medals”.

The classic side-scroller is set to hit Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS handheld systems. “Wreck-It Ralph, as a brand entity, is perfectly suited for video game stardom,” said David Oxford, Executive Vice President, Activision Publishing. “With the fantastic characters and creative atmosphere envisioned by Walt Disney Animation Studios, we know fans are going to love seeing their newfound favorite characters embark on an all-new side scrolling adventure.”
