John Cena teams up with Nintendo

[Chiral]

To showcase this unprecedented new style of console gaming on the go, Nintendo is showcasing the versatility of Nintendo Switch across the country with highly visual, interactive living room-inspired spaces in places you would never expect, bringing surprises to every stop. The first Nintendo Switch experience will pop up in the desert at Blue Cloud Movie Ranch on Feb. 23. Invited guests will get the chance to enter the interactive space and experience different Nintendo Switch games, as well as delight in the novelty of playing these games in a completely unexpected locale.

To make the first stop even more exciting, John Cena will be the special guest at this location. As a WWE Superstar and actor who is as versatile as the Nintendo Switch console itself, the performer (and Nintendo fan) Cena is the perfect person to kick off this unique tour. Known for his charisma and family-friendly appeal, John Cena will showcase the face-to-face off-TV functionality of 1-2-Switch, a Nintendo Switch launch game that features hilarious activities like milking a cow and participating in a Wild West duel. Cena will play the game with invited fans and YouTube influencers, highlighting how fun it is to play 1-2-Switch using the innovative new Joy-Con controllers.

I am now picturing Mario dressed up like Cena for some reason.

Makes sense, he has about as much fallibility and character depth as Mario.

And yet everyone knows who Mario or John Cena is

Doesn't matter if 2K has zero plans on making WWE games for the Switch, so why the attempt at synergy?

Just give me the 8-Bit shirt back please.

Because this appears to be a Cena thing and not a WWE thing like his Hefty commercials.

I loved that shirt... it's one of the few WWE t-shirts I'm sad I missed on the first run.

Nah...next shirt will be John Cena done up as an Inkling to be more modern.

...though considering what the Inklings wear in Splatoon, that's not too much of a stretch.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Yeah, there's no way Cena doesn't move to a schedule like Brock's next year at the latest.

Player Uno riots.

Given how he said his big hands make it hard for him to play video games, I'm struggling to imagine Cena being able to use those Joy-Cons.

[Macho Pichu]

If 2K isn't going to publish WWE games on Nintendo consoles, Nintendo should get a deal to make them themselves. I would never buy a WWE 2K game again.

Iam just picturing a 8-bit Cena in a mario-like level with the starman,with music and all, plowing through a line of gombas dressed like various WWE superstar

John Cena buries everyone now.

"How could he ever hope to defeat Donkey Kong/Bowser?"

Paper Mario, maybe.

In case you needed pictures of John Cena playing the Nintendo Switch in the middle of the desert.
