If you thought video games have featured some brutal fights, wait until you hear what goes on in real life. A new TV show produced by Seth Rogen will reveal the knock-down drag-down fight between Sega and Nintendo.

Rogen and his producing partner Evan Goldberg are developing a TV show based on the book Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo and the Battle that Defined a Generation by Blake J. Harris. When the book was first published in 2014 Rogen and Goldberg announced plans to turn it into a film, but it’s now planned to be a limited TV series. No network is yet confirmed.

Corporate skullduggery is always entertaining — look at HBO’s Silicon Valley or the underrated Halt and Catch Fire, which was inspired by true events in the growth of the computer industry.
