I've posted a lot of rumors over the years. Some of them are outrageous while others are definitely plausible. Every once in awhile there's a rumor that I can't decide on posting or not. This is one of those rumors...and I figure I'll give it a post. Wait until you hear this one.
- a marketing agency in Sacramento, California teamed with Nintendo for an E3 video
- the video features rapper Eminem
- post production work on the video will be going on this week
- video includes footage of a Nintendo-published Wii U title called "Acid Ghost", which is aimed at older gamers
- Eminem will play the game in this video
Yeah, I told you it was a crazy one. Now who wants to take a bet that this is the real deal!? Thanks to our anonymous source for the heads up.

Doesn't sound outlandish at all. I mean Ninty are trying to change a little bit, so why not?
You have a lot of bars? When can I come visit?
Its not that impossible
They said he's going to walk in and play the game not do a free style of "Purple Hills" performing and cussing all over the place. All Beyonce did was sit on a couch and play the dsi she wasn't on the coffee table doing "Bootylicious"
I do remember at one point during, I think it was, E3 (or some similar event), there was Lil Jon on the show floor playing Wii U. There might still be photos online on Nintendo's Facebook page. I also remember one time when Nintendo worked with Beyonce to help promote Rhythm Heaven on the DS Lite/DSi. I would believe this rumor if it was about Lil Jon, but if it's Eminem, then it's just up in the air right now. If they do market the product well with a major artist like Eminem or Lil Jon, then they could definitely raise potential interest from an untapped area of the market. We'll see what happens..

My guess is that Acid Ghost is the much awaited sequel to LSD on the PSX
Makes me think of the game N2O with music by The Crystal Method.
Me and my dad loved that game.
Too bad this probably has nothing to do with it. And might even be fake. Lol.
God I hate Eminem.
I used to like Eminem when he was, you know, a little bit funny.
Nowadays ... erm, he's more depressing than most of the punk and emo bands out there.
Still, I wouldn't mind if this was true, since Acid Ghost sounds like it could be interesting
Day. Freaking. One.
@The Fatal Ninja
This.
Well Eminem has stated several times that the NES is his favorite system. He's even made reference to Nintendo in some of his songs. So I can believe that he would be willing to star in a commercial for Nintendo. As for this "Acid Ghost" it's an...interesting(?) name for a game.
Interesting, hope it turns out true. Nintendo might be playing very serious.
I'm okay with this. It also doesn't sound really THAT crazy
Wasn't Eminem in some ipod commercial or something?
So this would just be more of Nintendo trying to be aPple like... Right? hehe
Eternal Darkness is trippy.
Acid Rain is a very good title..however i feel that the Eminem rumour is rather thrown together to think about which megastar would make Nintendo look more hardcore! I cannot for the life of me see him thrashing around the Wii U controller for any amount of money!
Acid Ghost? Nope, not buying this.. It's not like Nintendo.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who played that game.
Nintendo should focus less on changibg their image and more on changing their policies, pricing, and infrastructure. With the money they'd waste on making another rich celebrity even richer for simply spending a day playing around on camera, they could pay a full year's salary for 5-10 (or more) new programmers and artists. If true, this sounds like NOA at work again, spinning its wheels to do nothing but costly, fame-chasing PR. I'm sick of reading about private Nintendo parties in LA where they invite celebrities to come get free systems and games so Ninty's PR team can hobnob and generate some photos for the newswire that most media outlets will just ignore. I'm more impressed when I hear about Nintendo's charity outreach to everyday people and kids.
@MisterOpinionHead It's advertisement and they DO need advertisements.
EXACTLY what I was thinking!
The whole concept of Geist has so much potential. It wasn't a bad game, just a package of missed potential.
Unlikely, but I'd like for it to be true. x)
Oh I like this one, I don't know why.
I wonder what this Acid Ghost game is
That's literally the same way I feel, bro. The last Em album I bought was Curtain Call, Relapse was garbage, Recovery is depressing af.
But I'll always be an Em fan, since he's reppin' mah home town
