So, the excellent looking Scott Pilgrim movie is getting the obligatory video game tie-in. Nothing to be too excited about, right? I was right with you. I knew it was going to be an old school brawler, which seemed appropriate enough, but I didn't really care about it.

Character design by the legendary sprite artist Paul Robertson? Chiptune soundtrack by Anamanaguchi?
A K.I.T.T. LIMOUSINE?I have to hand it to the developers, this looks pretty perfect for a Scott Pilgrim game. Now I'm just sad it's not coming out on any systems I own.

Are you serious

Koki, this game isn't for you. No games are.

Didn't think much before I clicked this thread, but having watched kings of power 4 billion I have to say: this is amazing. I never thought he would actually get to making the art for an actual game :o

As delightful as Double Dragon is let's face it- beat em ups are a time-honored classic and you're an asshole if you don't like them.
So getting this game.

a whole 6 and a half months later...
I got the game over Christmas and it's awesome. It's goofy and irreverent and likes to poke the whole "kid-friendly" thing with a stick with stuff that most certainly earned that T rating and it's totally awesome. Beating up hipsters has never been so fun. The soundtrack is amazing, as well. The six million nods to classic NES games brings a smile to my face (they get hilariously awesome towards the end) and the whole thing is very tight. It's very definitely a love letter to old-school beat-em-ups (especially River City Ransom, and just by the way you're still an asshole if you don't like them, that hasn't changed any) but without the unnecessary difficulty that made so many of those old games so god damned infuriating. I'm tempted to call it Game of the Year on the Anamaguchi soundtrack alone.

Is it the game about the movie which is about impact of gaming on modern youth?
If someone repeats the schtick in twenty years and references Scott Pilgrim Against The World, will that also get a game? And then it will be a game about the movie which is about impact of gaming on modern youth with references to game about a movie which is about impact of gaming on modern youth.
