Chile on that MK shit.

Just checked my Instagram and The Weeknd was playing MK8 Deluxe

Who is The Weeknd?

Spoiler

Am I doing it right under-rock Gaf?

 

[Cuningas de Häme]

Well, I really don't know him. A musician, I think but I'm not sure what genre. Dance or r&b?

Not everyone is part of the US...

 

[Monkeyball]

FIFA on Switch should do well.

 

[spekkeh]

FIFA on Switch is going to make them stupidly common amongst pro footballers. Loads of them play anyway so to be able to carry it around is gonna be a real plus.

I actually think FIFA is going to be a huge seller for Switch. If Nintendo market it properly, or even do a bundle, it will absolutely make bank in the EU. It's Lara rivalry a religion amongst the boys at the school where I teach. FIFA, Minecraft and Pokemon - all franchises the Switch either has or will have.

It should sell more than XB1 easy. The PlayStation user base is too damn large in Europe, but over time it may even get close too.

brb using imagination since no nintendo switch in stock

yes i used a variation of this in the other thread about it

Lol what does that have to do with anything?

1) He's fairly popular outside of the US. I think this is less of an Foreigner thing and more of you being out of the loop.

2) He's not American.....

 

[Madrugador]

Another pic of the chilean players. What an awesome celebration :lol

 

[Skittzo0413]

FIFA is gonna be enormous on this. I'm glad EA put some effort into it.

 

[ArtHands]

Will be great if Fifa for Switch has that as a post-goal celebration.

First time i've seen one of these so called "celebs endorsing Switch" images with Grey joycons!

The switch seems big in the soccer community.

FIFA 18 to be a big seller confirmed!

 

[DrunkShogun]

Nintendo is getting so much free promotion. Fifa on switch might have a good chance of actually being a success.

 

[DecoReturns]

Mario Kart?

FIFA is gonna be huge. Or at least I hope.

 

[Nightbird]

All that paid advertising!

"free"

 

[pretty done]

Seems like it would be amazing for any pro athlete tbh. Finally console-quality games on a handheld. Not held back by shitty graphics or controls anymore.

What makes you think this is free advertising?

He's not too busy doing coke with his girl?

Not seeing #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch #ad in all those posts for instance.

 

[Malakai]

In the case of the Chilean players that are based in Chile, a place where Nintendo doesn't even distribute the Switch, are making references to it on the field...I doubt NoA marketing team is even savvy enough to pull of something like that.

Nah, just checked the UL chart history because I’ve never heard of him. Doesn’t seem that popular http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/22895/weeknd/

 

[Little Mons†er]

Not Switch but still Gaga stanning Princess Peach

 

[The Hermit]

In the end, aren't we all ads for companies when we announce whatever we like on social media?

Pretty much

That being said, Fifa on the switch is going to blow real soccer players minds.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I can assure you he's been mainstream popular ever since Daft Punk started collaborating with him.

Lol. Only in GAF do you have people calling The Weeknd "not that popular". The Hills was massive when it hit. He gets 24.8m plays a month on Spotify.

 

[ronco2000]

Here's an X amount dollars. Be in our ad.

Who's insane enough to say no?

Right; but this isn't small-fry affiliate marketing where the marketing team needs to track CTRs from a random blog.

 

[essenn]

Travis Scott, Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, Nav, Chris Brown, Chance, Metro Boomin all seen playing the Switch recently too

cant believe Nintendo is paying off so many of these random rappers, r&b singers and producers!

Sport Games like FIFA and such are gonna be SUPER popular on the Switch with Sport teams

These sport players are always on the road so FIFA on the Switch is a god send for them

Expecting it to be very successful

Given the trouble WB got into I could see why some would think that Nintendo wouldn't take chances with disguising advertising.
