I figured I'd make a new topic since the movie is out.
I just got back from a midnight show. It was fantastic. It didn't really cater to gamers. There were a lot on in-jokes, but none that would ruin the movie if you don't know the culture well.
Overall, it was a really clever movie. Lots of heart. I can't wait to see it again. Click spoilers for some references.
[spoiler]
-Loads of cameos, as you know. They include characters from Sonic, Mario, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Tapper, Pac-Man, Q-Bert, Frogger, etc.
-One character uses the Konami code on an NES controller.
-Graffiti that says "Sheng Long was here." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheng_Long
-Ralph finds a ! from Metal Gear Solid, which makes the sound and everything.
-In the credits, Ralph and company demolish a car with Ryu in Street Fighter.
-The end of the credits has a kill screen. No joke.
