The ads’ placements aren’t a complete shocker, though, as the Mariners are owned by Nintendo of America.

Um, wait, what? Nintendo owns a baseball club? Wtf?

But yeah, good to see them advertising this heavily. Seems like they REALLY want it to succeed.

Edit: also, why the actual fuck are the ads in Japanese?

Yeah. Hiroshi Yamauchi bought them a while ago. Nintendo owns a professional sports team. He left the team to Nintendo after he passed, bless his soul.

OT Its great to see them do this kind of stuff. I also saw the Splatoon commercial the other day and it looks really nice. Glad to see Nintendo advertise this game.
