Explanation: someone put in the wrong start date for an ad buy!

Might be a bit far-fetched, but maybe they accidentally put it up on 18/06/25 instead of 18/09/25 (which will be a Thursday)

The game released. Did you miss it? Literally outsold Mario Kart World in less than 24 hours, it’s insane. 94 Metacritic score and 9.2 User score. It’s honestly incredible, definitely buy it.

Which tube station is it at?

As someone who works in advertising (albeit digital, not out of home) someone has really fucked up and it will probably disappear in the next couple of days.

Damn, i missed the pre order.

Yeah we have to be getting a general Nintendo direct within the coming weeks

Someone is getting fired …

My guess as to what happened here is that the ad was sent as a Photoshop or InDesign file with multiple layers that could be toggled to show different things, and the “OUT NOW” layer was accidentally made visible. This would explain why it looks overlaid onto something else, as I am assuming the thing below it is probably some sort of “coming soon” text which is also set to be visible (since that was the intended text to be shown).

The worst bit about this picture is the fact that you were in the tube today in this weather, I feel for you man
smashinggames
funny seeing people accuse this of being AI or a photoshop when this is an easily verifiable image where someone could just go to oxford circus right now or in the morning to check it out for themselves

Samus wants you to get out of the train promptly. She’s got places to be!

I mean, it has to be a mistake, no way they’ll shadow drop it like today. I’ll lose my mind if that happens. But doesn’t make a whole lot of sense between MK:World and Bananza.

Damn Nintendo is about to send whoever made this mistake to impel down.

There’s a little rectangle behind the right side of the Metroid prime “out now” that isn’t there for Mario kart. Thinking the “out now” layer got accidentally copy pasted on top and it’s actually says “2025”

Someone either released the wrong files to the printer or this got installed too early and a stealth drop is coming

Well, Britain is well known for its time travellers…

It really is out now, we’ve just been hiding it from you in particular. Not our fault, it was the terms and conditions from Nintendo.

“OUT NOW” looks like it’s a separate installable piece, and whoever put up the advertisement didn’t read the instructions.
kayarelle
The ad is what’s out now, obviously.
Nickynui
Idk why i thought this was a switch 2 launch title
mdpena
Does the fine print have a date?
Random-J
How on earth did this happen? The amount of people this sort of shit has to go through and NOBODY caught it!?
Bradley_Beans
Can’t you read? It’s asking you to leave.
Klayehn
No way. The first need to do a dedicated direct.

“But your ad says: Metroid Prime 4. Out Now.”
“Ah, they got this all screwed up.”
*pen scribbling noises*
“Metroid Prime 4 out? No!”
ozfunghi
It’s just a typo. It should be:
Metro. Out, now!
Because it’s the last stop, and everybody has to get off.
RedFishStudio
I just bought a switch 2. Never played any of the Metroid games. Are they worth picking up?
dan_thedisaster
It’d be amazing if Nintendo just dropped the game.
Robertinho678
Would be insane if they decide to shadow drop it. I definitely think they’ll release it soon though if those posters are already out in the open. They definitely pulled the trigger too soon, but they had the posters already, and that’s saying something…
FlowKom
okay this means one of two things:
* we are VERY close to release, because these billboards dont get sent out months in advance
* this game is shadow dropping during a direct that comes VERY soon
one way or another this game is probably out by august the latest

Talk about your all-time shadow drops…
