Gaming Rumor: Eminem E3 Video

[Excelsiior]

Real men that listen to electronic music listen to Hardstyle, Acid or Hardcore, not that valiumnized house or dubstep one falls asleep once listening to.

Now hate me...

Just screams out fake to me. That concept art looks very generic and amateurish.

Picture aside, those points make it seem like a friggin awesome game, now I'm interested in what will become of it. =3

I hope it stays a rumor. Does it matter who plays it though?

All of it has been debunked. Someone took art from someone's deviantart page and made up some info on the game.

Absolutely nothing of it. Case closed

I don't understand why people complain so much about Eminem on E3.
Eminem is a famous rapper, everybody knows him.
It's very usual for enterprises to use artists image to promove their product.
Liking him or not, he will catch people's attention

Does celebrity endorsement even work? I mean have any of you actually thought "If it's good enough for then it's good enough for me!"?

It creates a talking point for those who wouldn't normally read up on video games, the types who don't object to video games, they may own a console and get the yearly CoD/FIFA/Need For Speed but they won't go out actively looking for news.

In this case this rumoured news story was actually featured on NME.com a magazine that wouldn't normally cover video games, also it probably popped up on other popular sites and music related media. So even in rumoured form it has created awareness that Nintendo has a console called the Wii U and the less informed may think "Huh Eminem is promoting a mature Nintendo game" and thus its on their radar.

If it makes people talk about it and creates more media coverage then it works. Just like when Nintendo got Nicole Kidman, because it was a big named actress who hasn't ever endorsed video games the more "mature" press covered it and sales of Brain Training increased dramatically.

Two words. Robin Williams.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Eminem?

You mean the guy who wrote a song about him murdering his wife with a knife?

Good choice, Nintendo.

 

[KingVamp]

He and the Mario guy should definitely be at e3.

 

[Hadrian]

Eminem?

I don't see how different it is than say Nicole Kidman who had played a woman who murdered her fella in To Die For. He plays a character in his music, not very well at times but its a character nonetheless.

Besides, you're criticising Nintendo on something that is pure rumour.

I don't think that applies to anyone here because this is primarily a gaming website. Celebrity endorsement "works" in the sense that the product is exposed to a large demographic of impressionable fans. You are correct that most of us here don't need a celebrity as a deal-breaker when sitting on the fence as to buy a game or not. However, if even a small percentage of Eminem's fan base ... ...you get the point.

We're not the only ones who pretend to buy WiiU. That's why Nintendo uses Eminem's image, to get attention of other publics.

 

[notmeanymore]

If there's anyone who could make me not want the WiiU, it's Eminem.

Anyone for tea?
Ooh Jolly good! Mine with two lumps sir.
A new Nintendo advert! Charlie! those little fella's from the east are on television.
Oh gosh, bloody marvellous. I do love those chaps.
Whats this? A rap tune? Splendid!
Which exotic land is this man from? and what did he just say?

More Tea?
