John Cena says SNK is obsolete

Welp, while many of us do like a bit of wrestling, it’s probably safe to say we don’t like celebrities spreading misinformation. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, John Cena talked about the upcoming Nintendo switch, making a reference to our favourite company as how he got into games, just not in the most informed way…

“I loved Baseball Stars, which is a title by a now obsolete company called SNK. That was my wheelhouse. The thing that attracted me most was you could go as far into the games as you wanted.”

You can read the full article here but that’s the only thing you really need to know.  Cena goes onto to say Switch is the “future of gaming”, which makes you wonder if Nintendo is sponsoring the wrestler or the WWE, or even Sports Illustrated in some way, which isn’t a problem as such, but it doesn’t make John very credible as a modern gamer when after name dropping Metal Gear and a few other classics, it’s clear that he’s unaware of the gaming scene today, where SNK is very much alive and well.

Feel free to tweet him (nicely) here…. but you probably won’t get a response as twitter seems to love trolling him… ah well….

DELETE DELETE OBSOLETE!

  1. That doesn’t change my opinion.

  2. Technically speaking the original SNK doesn’t exist since 2001 if i recall correctly. So, SNK may be obsolete in a certain point of view. The changes in management and focus changed the company.

  6. You need read the full interview not only that orochinagi put in his article…

  7. You really need to do clickbait? patethic… :’v

  8. For those who don’t want to fall for clickbait, he said “I loved Baseball Stars, which is a title by a now obsolete company called SNK. That was my wheelhouse. The thing that attracted me most was you could go as far into the games as you wanted.”

  9. Where’s Capcom VS SNK 3 ? wake up SNK

  10. Bro, SNK is advanced compared to Capcom in terms of fighting games. What the hell you smoking Cena?

  11. Hahaha I tweeted him with a link to KOF XIV, he is old school, KOF didnt have a huge impact recently so fair play tbh

  12. Just like your career. John. Obsolete. Not impressed.

  13. Ellyn Heber says:

    Pra merda cara. SNK is so good.

  14. Marty Perez says:

    Love the Broken Matt Hardy reference at the end of the article

  15. ??? ?????? says:

    I heard he got his hat thing from terry bogard

  16. After this interview he loses more fans and I’m one of them ?

  17. Terry Bogard says:

    well he is partially right

  18. One more reason to hate Cena

  19. Carlin Budd says:

    I can’t believe it!

    He actually turned heel!

  20. JOHN CENA SUCKS~!
    AT KOF~!
    THAT’S WHY HE SAID~!
    UNTIL LIKE THAT~!

    (Now read that in his theme song)

    This is going to be responsible for an upsurge in sales of ww2k17. If only so we can slap around his character for a bit 😉

  22. c’mon, he tried to say something good and nostalgic in the same time: obviously he’s not into videogames of our days

  23. Whoa! Whoa! Wait up. John Cena calling something obsolete is truly hilarious when he’s been the same garbage wrestler for 10+ years who has turned countless people away from wrestling. Get real.

  24. Brotha Kyo says:

    I don’t see who made the opinion.

  25. Marcin Wrona says:

    I’m not bashing him, it’s literally what I’m saying – he said a thing and it really doesn’t matter. Like, we got our Xavier Woods and Brennan, we’re good.

  26. Hey, he’s outta business. He played some games as a youngster and doesn’t keep track of the news as an adult, don’t bash him. I don’t think it was a comment on SNK’s position in the market – he just wasn’t aware the company still exists and makes new games.

  27. Verne Grimm says:

    I remember a game called Street Fighter, by some now obsolete company called Capcom…

  28. Marcin Wrona says:

    Well, he said a thing and in all fairness his opinion doesn’t really matter. He ain’t Brennan Williams, so…

  29. Why is that Switch floating?
