The Pixelized Pitch That Sold ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World: The Game’
The hotly-anticipated "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game" goes on sale today, but before Ubisoft tapped the all-star team of pixel artist supreme Paul Robertson and chiptunes masters Anamanaguchi to bring the beloved Bryan Lee O'Malley graphic novel series (and its soon-to-be-released movie adaptation) to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, the title lived only in the fever dreams of those who believed that the idea of a "Scott Pilgrim" game was so perfect it seemed almost inevitable. But what sold the game publisher on a epic, retro beat-'em-up laden with all the nostalgic trimmings? The answer lies with an extremely awesome and never-before-seen pixelated pitch video that references to everything from "Sonic the Hedgehog" to the Smashing Pumpkins.
