John Cena is one of the most recognisable faces in the pro wrestling world. He’s widely regarded as one of the best wrestlers of all time and has been the world champion for a record 16-times (joint with Ric Flair), but the star is also known as an actor and a rapper. And as the face of the Nintendo Switch in America prior to the console’s release.

Back in 2017, the professional wrestler filmed a number of promotional ads for the Switch which included him playing the console in ‘unexpected places’ while also being present at events where fans could play 1-2-Switch at pop-up locations.

But according to wrestling fan and Giant Bomb creative director Dan Ryckert, Cena didn’t just turn up, film his part and leave. GoNintendo reports que el luchador aparentemente le pidió a Nintendo un nuevo 2D Metroid juego. Por supuesto, finalmente conseguimos uno nuevo (ignoring Metroid: Samus regresa, una nueva versión de Metroid II) en 2021 Metroid Dread.

A pesar de que fue cuatro años después de que Cena filmara los anuncios, Ryckert dice que Nintendo le envía a Cena una copia de Dread, y el equipo de Cena envió un correo electrónico a Big N diciendo que “Juan lo ama”. oooh!

Estamos contentos de que John Cena finalmente cumplió su deseo de un nuevo juego de Metroid. Bien, todos estamos contentos de tener un nuevo y brillante juego de Metroid.

Former Nintendo Minute co-host Krysta Yang replied to a fan’s response to Ryckert’s tweet, confirming that this discussion would’ve happened around the time of the advert’s photoshoot. She also corroborates that Cena was indeed a huge Metroid fan!

Perhaps John Cena can be an eventual guest on the Kit & Krysta podcast?

Cena isn’t the only professional wrestler to be interested in video games, particularly Nintendo ones. A few months back, Steve Austin and Cody Rhodes briefly debated which was the best Zelda juego in a short clip advertising Austin’s podcast.
