Official Summary: In the battle for supremacy in Consume (Console) continent between parodical Segua (Sega) Kingdom and Ninteldo (Nintendo) Empire, the light-footed Gear (Sonic) appeared to defend his kingdom from the threat of Ninteldo's powerful emperor, Marcus (Mario). ( -ANN )

Catie's Thoughts: What a bizarre little OVA. It is so stupidly stereotypical shounen fantasy there isn't a single novel thing about it - unless you take the fact that every character is either an anthropomorphized video game or a gijinka of a character in a video game. Which that really does not excuse how laughably bad this anime is, but it is fairly unique. 

I guess some fun could be had trying to figure out who is what game when you are not outright told, but as I don't know all that much about classic video games, it just led to confusion on my part. 

Would I buy it? Absolutely not. I was bored with it, I watched the series hoping for some novelty but by the end of it I was just glad it was over. I suppose it holds some worth to people who are either fans of the manga, or fans of classic video games who like the parody aspect, but I am so over it.
