  1. They really have no idea how to market this series

  2. LukeCheddar

    They don’t need to sell me, I already bought it

  3. SnavenShake

    So two streamers nobody has ever heard of playing just enough of the game to show us the same content that has already been covered twice?

  4. Iteachsometimes34

    Top streamers?!?!?! Ohh boy count me in! /s I don’t know who is this for.

  5. SpellConnect8675

    WTF just do a trailer like normal and release the game. Nintendo is so awkward.

  6. Derpderpderpderpde

    I bought it already with a voucher so I could get Pokémon as well and save a couple bucks with the upgrades. Played a bit at Best Buy and yeah. It’s impressive on switch 2.

  7. BushTamer

    They think this is gonna be their big FPS series going forward I guess

  8. ArcticFlamingo

    Why do I want to watch a streamer play a single player shooter where half the fun is figuring out the puzzles?

  9. KlausSlade

    Couldn’t they find any people that the public actually recognized?

    Stop spoiling the game and give me the game!

    Their marketing has forgotten how to hype people for a title, just showing more of it isn’t that.

  11. Some-Walk7619

    How does somebody end up with 1.9M subscribers averaging 500-1000 views a video???

  12. Oh right, this is that new generic open world game that’s cashing in on the Metroid name.

  13. MamaDeloris

    Sure beats marketing the game, huh? Air Riders definitely needed two directs though.

  14. twili_zora

    I’m so confused on what the marketing strategy for this game is.

  15. kmfdm_mdfmk

    maybe if this had multiplayer ala hunters this would make more sense, but I figure they’re trying to court a younger audience into this series.

    I think people are getting a bit confused. This seems to be mainly for Canada and not an international thing, as this news post isn’t on the US website.

    I mean, I’ll probably watch speedrunners take it on after my first run, but I’m not gonna watch a random casual stream lol.

    Prime 4’s marketing has really been all over the place. Just as much good as there is bad. I feel like having Echoes and Corruption available on Switch/Switch 2 months before launch would’ve been a decent way to market Beyond and the series as a whole more but now that opportunity has passed. Regardless I’m still excited to play Prime 4 next week.

    Yall seriously don’t know TetraNinja? I’ve been watching him since like 2011 lol 😂

    I don’t care about streamers, just make nice trailers and move on.

  21. seewhyKai

    As others pointed out, these are “top” Canadian streamers.

    The first one may have 1.93M YT subs over 13 years, but there is *huge* variance in video views. The 3 most recent videos (all Pokemon Legends ZA) average under 1000 views.

    The other has 164k YT subs over 13 and seems to be mainly in French and a game collection channel. The views are a bit more stable.

     

    I don’t really watch “YouTubers” but if I did, I would have hoped Nintendo picked Metroid speedrunner types.

    Not watching cuz i don’t watch streams but honestly I just want to play it, I didn’t need another direct or anymore trailers after the survive trailer.

    I had a pre order in a few weeks ago via voucher + upgrade but less shown is more here I think

  23. This is what we get instead of a Bananza like direct that helped that game so much to open so many eyes. Horrible, disgraceful job by Nintendo in the way they have marketed my most anticipated game of the year.

  24. WhichEmailWasIt

    I kinda don’t wanna be spoiled so I’ll just…not watch. Thanks.

  25. Nickbronline

    Did the first guy buy his subscribers?

    Almost 2,000,000 subs but can barely hit 1,000 views on a video

  26. No thanks, I will play this myself rather than watch people play it.

  27. Kevicelives

    I hate streamers. Exept the ones on my bike

  28. FernMayosCardigan

    I’m gonna tell you a story about streamers:

    No.

  29. Escaliat_

    After the whole NPC debacle and now this… Nintendo themselves don’t understand what Metroid is do they.

  30. acewing905

    I can’t say I give a single flying fuck about what “top streamers” do, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in this

    But maybe Canadians are into this stuff

    Nintendo: We payed top streamers to play our game as part of a marketing package. Please watch them to make it worthwhile for us!
