Given that Wreck-it Ralph is a Disney property, you probably assumed it's aimed at kids. Well, you're wrong. The cameos in the video game-themed movie are straight out of the '80s and '90s.
Does the average 14-year-old know who Q*bert is? Not likely.
Wreck-it Ralph is an animated trip down memory lane, with enough wholesome fun and silly humour to keep the kids busy while the adults get on with the business of wallowing in nostalgia.
Unfortunately, the 3DS game of the movie seems not to have read the brief.
Kidulthood
Make no mistake - this is a wasted opportunity at almost every turn.

Summary
Just like Fix-It Felix, Wreck-it Ralph on 3DS is short, plain, and not a lot of fun to be around
