　　As for the TV show, which will be a limited series, Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts--who is also directing the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie--is attached to direct. Mike Rosolio (American Vandal) is writing it.

　　The Console Wars book, "Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle That Defined a Generation," centers on the story of former Sega executive Tom Kalinske, who led the company's American division in the '90s during its heyday, and helped launched the Sega Genesis that further accelerated Sega's place in the gaming world. As its full title suggests, the book, which is based on numerous interviews, also goes into Sega's battle against Nintendo for dominance in the gaming industry.

　　The companies were indeed rivals, with Sega putting out a commercial that proclaimed, "Genesis does what Nintendon't." Given all the behind-the-scenes business drama between Sega, Nintendo, and other companies, the Console Wars TV show seems like it has potential be a very intriguing show.
