They really have no idea how to market this series
LukeCheddar
They don’t need to sell me, I already bought it
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?

Top streamers?!?!?! Ohh boy count me in! /s I don’t know who is this for.
SpellConnect8675
WTF just do a trailer like normal and release the game. Nintendo is so awkward.
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.
BushTamer
They think this is gonna be their big FPS series going forward I guess
ArcticFlamingo
Why do I want to watch a streamer play a single player shooter where half the fun is figuring out the puzzles?
AlteisenX
I’m good, thanks.
KlausSlade
Couldn’t they find any people that the public actually recognized?
Open-Tourist-7902
Who the fuck are these people?

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.

How does somebody end up with 1.9M subscribers averaging 500-1000 views a video???
Prizm4
Oh right, this is that new generic open world game that’s cashing in on the Metroid name.
MamaDeloris
Sure beats marketing the game, huh? Air Riders definitely needed two directs though.

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

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.

What?

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.

Uhhh, no?

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.

Three hours of Myles incoming
SmashMouthBreadThrow
No, I don’t think I will.
thedoommerchant
No, I don’t think I will.

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

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.
WhichEmailWasIt
I kinda don’t wanna be spoiled so I’ll just…not watch. Thanks.
TACOSKG
uhhhh
Nickbronline
Did the first guy buy his subscribers?
Almost 2,000,000 subs but can barely hit 1,000 views on a video
neonitik
No thanks, I will play this myself rather than watch people play it.
Celcius_87
No thanks, I’m going in blind
WaylandThurston
How about I play it now instead?
esmori
Streamers?
Kevicelives
I hate streamers. Exept the ones on my bike
epicbrewtality
I’m so over streamer culture.
FernMayosCardigan
I’m gonna tell you a story about streamers:
No.

After the whole NPC debacle and now this… Nintendo themselves don’t understand what Metroid is do they.
FrierenKingSimp
How do you do fellow kids
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!
