Rumor: Eminem teams up with Nintendo

Here's quite an interesting rumor that is starting to make some buzz in the gaming world. Apparently Nintendo teamed up with Em in order to promote their upcoming console. The video will apparently have Eminem playing the "Wii-U" and an upcoming title from Nintendo aimed at adults called "Acid Ghost". The video will air at E3, which is at the beginning of June.

Sounds fucking awesome if true. For those who don't know what the WiiU is, it's this thing right here:

Em has a boner for Donkey Kong, so an Eminem x Nintendo partnership seems plausible. What he did for COD was more of a "private concert" at the Activision party. What he's doing for Nintendo is more promotion wise, kinda like how they used Beyonce to promote their Nintendo DS.

Now Em's gonna get called a sellout again if this is true.

ugh.. He should promote the new Xbox, not the fucking WIi-U. Haha

It better be entertaining...or else people will scream "sell out!"

Cool... I want a Wii-U.

Cool I guess

It's actually believable, just like Nintendo Eminem is old school.

Damn, two of my greatest loves combined... if we get a new song for this, it'll be dope.

I think I should point out that MCV is very reliable when reporting rumours so there's a high likelihood this is true.

Kinda related, but there's a few beats from Nintendo games that I'd love to hear sampled for hip hop songs.

I really hope this is true! I love Nintendo and it would not bother me at all if he did a commercial for them (not that I'm really bothered by artists doing commercials anyway). And he loves Donkey Kong, so why not? I think this would be fun to see. :happy:
