Only 90s kids will probably remember, but back in the time before Steam and smartphones and digital streaming, the world was neatly divided into two types of people: Those who gamed on Nintendo consoles, and those who rolled with SEGA.

The console wars of the 90s were fraught, but clearly defined: Nintendo vs SEGA. NES vs Master System. Super Nintendo vs Mega Drive. Mario vs Sonic. The eternal battle for cartridge supremacy.

While a cursory glance at today’s market gives a pretty clear indication of which company wound up coming out on top, (hint: SEGA World isn’t a regular fixture of Darling Harbour anymore for a reason) the war between the two companies is the stuff of legends, and thanks to Seth Rogen, it’ll be hitting TV screens at some point the near future.

Rogen and regular collaborator Evan Goldberg have secured the adaptation rights to Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation, the 2014 Blake J. Harris book chronicling the rise and ultimate fall of SEGA of America as a console producer.

The pair have been angling to do something with the book for a while – collectively, they wrote the foreword for the novel’s paperback release – but now it seems it’s actually moving forward.

Variety reports that Rogen and Goldberg will serve as executive producers on a limited series adaptation of the book, with production house Legendary Television providing the home for the project.

Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer, Kong: Skull Island) has been tapped to direct the pilot, while Mike Rosolio (American Vandal) will write the script.

It’s the third attempt Goldberg and Rogen have made at adapting the book, after first trying to turn it into a feature film, before making inroads into a documentary, before ultimately landing on this format which sounds like the most promising.

Maybe if this one doesn’t work either they should take it out, blow on it, and try again.
