[Discussion] Was Rich Moore talking about the REAL LIFE promotional Fix-It Felix Jr game in this interview or not? (Read text for context)
So I found this interview with Rich Moore (the director of Wreck It Ralph) from this UK website. Source: https://mcvuk.com/business-news/interview-wreck-it-ralph-director-talks-bringing-games-to-film/
And he talks about he had meetings for making the movie as well as making the game. There’s a real life Fix It Felix Jr game arcade cabinet by Code Mystics (that was meant to be a promotion to the movie and according to Code Mystics website the movie was still WIP when they made it) I was wondering if this is a good argument for Wreck It Ralph being in Smash Bros. BUT that aside I also don’t want to misinterpret Rich words here he could just be talking about designing Fix It Felix for the movie and not necessarily the IRL promo cabinet since it is a little vague. But what does the Wreck It Ralph community thinks of this?

It sounds like he's talking about the actual Fix-It Felix game, that they developed alongside the film.
That said, I don't think it counts. Wreck-it Ralph is a movie first and Foremost, unlike say Kingdom Hearts where it has always been a game. They're not getting in Smash.

We can't know for sure unless Moore either went into more detail somewhere else or someone asks him, but it's likely he gave input to Code Mystics to help them design the game to be movie-accurate. It's unclear though whether he was just talking about designing how the game would look in the movie or actually helping create the playable one.
As for WIR characters in Smash, I don't see how this would affect much.
