Kevin Butler, a marketing character used by Sony Computer Entertainment America, appears to have jumped ship to Nintendo, if this recent advert is anything to go by. Butler was synonymous with the Sony brand, but now Butler appears in a US television advert for Bridgestone which is some kind of tie-in for the Nintendo Wii.
Long live play, my friends.
Wow sickr now your trying to digging at the buttom of the barrel to bad mouth sony lmfao. Quite a few brain gymnastic to work around that logic that he betrayed sony. I saw 0 except you disperatly trying to tie knots with faulty logic so these nintendofags can jump for some unseen Victory circle jerk. Bad faulty logic. Oh sony and nintendo donated to japan tsunami that means theyre making games together smh see how STUPID that reasoning is.Bad journalism very unprofessional but hey it gets the clicks from zombtendo drones. And even if it were true ya can keep him hell be back for sony or even microsoft and well laugh back. Sickr very bad faulty logic you should apply to fuax news
Ignoring the atrocious spelling of this anon, yes I can agree it’s overboard. But being worse than 9Gags community? Bahahah that is such a ridiculous comparison. People go there and probably believe most of the content is original. I go to Nintendo news to get updates and so far, I can’t complain. I guess sickr was just trying to get more traffic going on since he sees the arguments that break out. And seriously, what’s all the name calling? You fanboys are getting rediculous. I guess I am Nintendo fanboy too though, I’ve been enjoying their products since the NES
9Gags you say?!
Since this is the first post and the one everyone will see, sorry for riding on your coattails Sylver.
But that title is linkbaiting at it’s finest. It’s like you’re opening the doors to make this already quite crappy community even more down the shitter. Stop this kind of nonsense and do proper reporting.
This guy is absolutely right. I think we’re all sick of this kind of stuff.
He’s right about the headline baiting others to stay stupid things, but I’m not the one who made the headline.
If you read the top over the headline, it stated “by Sickr”. I’m just a commenter.
Redact that last sentence. Someone thought that I made the headline.
Thank you!
Seriously, this community is at least as bad as 9Gag’s, and this sure isn’t making things better.
I’m not the author of this story, neither do I report for MyNintendoNews.
I am a commenter. That is all.
(Redacting this as well.)
That’s one pathetic news title, stop trying to get clicks like this
Um, I’m not the one who made the title. I just said “long live play”.
I’m just a commenter who just said one thing – go yell at Sickr about the headline, I don’t even write for this website at all!
I laughed

Not exactly moving to Nintendo,
But sure.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Kevin Butler is a funny guy xD but he respects all lines of gaming, regardless of the system, even if he works/ worked for Sonys marketing
Also, i should make it clear that the guy is an actor.
0exactly, it’s not like actors are tied to certain movie studios, so why should it even matter if kevin butler is doing advertisements for other gaming companies?
What a way to flame Sony sickr. dont come moaning when the trolls come here to party…
Kevin Butler:
It only works for everyone.
Don’t like him and not more than Patcher. He keeps bashing the Wiimote then suddenly jumped ship? Don’t make me laugh. :|
You do know that was an ad he was doing, right?
In actuality he likes the Wii and the PS3 its just because he was working with Sony at the time so he couldn’t show any love for Nintendo… at all.
You do know his name isnt actually Kevin Butler? His names Jerry Lambert and Kevin Butler is just a marketing character made by Sony, as a sort of “fake” head of Sony, to make advertisement campaigns.
Dear sony drones,the ps4 will have bad graphics,second sony sucks and FUCK U,third sanadreas is a piece of shit(and i meen it no comment(s) for that),ps3 is better than 360 but not such better as wii,fourth:wiiU will dominate,final:everybody now is leaving sony because that company knows only to steal ideas!
You make Nintendo fans look bad. I hope you are just pretending to be a fanboy. If not, you are embarrassing to say the least.
sorry to dissapoint u.I am a Nintendo fan since i was 2 years old which meens fuck U
As he said, you really are shaming Nintendo fans as a whole by the way you act. At least have some decency and stop criticising everything other than Nintendo, or saying they’re perfect even when they mess something up.
Nintendo is perfect for now.DO U SEE ANY OTHER COMPANY WHO MAKES STUFF BY NOT STEALING IDEAS? noooooooooooooo!
SONY HAS STOLE MANY IDEAS AND THEY WERE SUCK
MICROSOFT IS THE OLD MICROSOFT
AND NINTENDO WON!
Ok man you are taking it too far.Just comment on the post,ignore trolls and that’s it.
All companies take ideas and make them their own. I mean, Sony and Microsoft make it pretty obvious at times, such as the PS Move and Smartglass, but even Nintendo has taken ideas. The GameCube controller’s concept comes from that of the Dreamcast’s controller and the Wii didn’t create motion gaming, but was inspired.
The companies don’t just take it and say it’s their own, they see the idea, look at how well it’s going and then take inspiration from it for their own product.
Miiverse was taken from xbox live but taken a step further. Achievements which the U will have is taken from MS…
Miiverse is alot more than “achievements taken further”
Woah, the idea Nintendo used for the Wii motion controlls was actually ripped off from a SEGA dreamcast dev. There is a demo video out in the net of him showing his designed controlled being used with ready2rumble boxing.
obvious troll is obvious.
^This
Nintendo are far from perfect. A lackluster finish for the Wii, Operation rainfall… Xenoblade was easily in the top 3 games for the Wii. Lack of third party. Shit online especially smash bros. It had great first party games but other than that one of Nintendo’s worse consoles IMO.
And before the fanboys flame me… yes i Know they sold the most this gen… but I am not a shareholder am i? It does not affect me. What affects me is having to buy a second console to get the third party games the Wii FAILED to get.
Unation: I was playing since i was 3 years old and I am 24 now and I can tell you that you are an embarrassment to Nintendo of Europe, America, japan…. and to gamers in general.
Cookie dough… you’re making a complete ass of yourself.
This is exactly what I am trying to say. All companies make mistakes, they do things wrong, but that doesn’t make them any worse than the other.
Well said.
Hmm. So you must have just turned 3 then
well said
wow u really r something the ps4 isnt even close to coming out and ur already judging it. actually nintendo has been stealing ideas already. like they stole. achievments from microsoft they stole to touch pad thing from apple with the touch screen controller. and they even admitted that most of their ideas r from past companies ideas like they were inspired to copy. and also the wii u doesnt support unreal engine 4 (which is the highest graphics gameplay mechanics for console). and the xbox 720 and ps4 will. nintendo always rushes theyre consoles like think about the wii. one of the worst online shit ive ever used wii remote and nunchuk suck as controllers and they fricken break easily and randomly turn off for no reason. so who cares what u think ur just a nintendo sell out who is only judging other consoles like the buttpirate u are when those consoles arent even anywhere near out yet
Unreal Engine 4 is scalable dumbass! And learn to SPELL your own name idiot! It’s destRuction
Wow u care so much about my name I did that on purpose cuz its my YouTube account prick. And I don’t care what u think u retarted Nintendo buttlicker
Man ur pathetic I did that on purpose cuz its my YouTube account cuz u know they make weird names on that and plus. Go suck a dick and lick Nintendos ass prick.
Epic fail, you loose!
as much as we appreciate patriotic comments in favor of Nintendo, such a judgement on a console that has yet to release is exactly what the Sony fans have been doing since the wii U was announced. dont stoop to such a level, because you are representing Nintendo and their fans.
What a load of nonsense. Stop humiliating yourself. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
The part about Sony stealing ideas was true. They tend to do it quite blatantly, after mocking the original source of the idea or innovation.
Mmmmm you taste than Sony fanboys/girls *breaths in deep* that is the taste of victory for Nintendo… and it tastes soooo sweet.
The playstation three will cost….five hundret and ninty nine U$ dollar$
ITS RIDGE RACER…RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAAACER!haha
FUCK U SONY HELLO NINTENDO
Right now I’m drinking the tears of all the little fanboys and girls of sony and it tastes just like aged wine… mmmmm, victory never tasted so sweet
Nintendo FTW
I have a feeling hes a kid.
who cares if i am a kid or a teenager or an adult.THE MAIN THING IS THAT NOW SONY IS LOSING AND U SONY DRONES ARE CRYING VERY BAD!
I AM A FUCKING FANBOY HUUUR HURR SONY IS DA BEST AND NINTENDO FUCKING SUCK COCK!!!!!!
Really,that’s the best that you got.You don’t even have the same profile picture.
Mmmm, taste those tears. I can taste them from here.
You know they are right.You and Unation are the reason the trolls come back,because your acting like fanboys.
I was taking the piss of the real supporter :P
Well stop trolling.It has no benefits unless you live to make people pissed off.
*his
Get N or Get OUT!!!!!!
Shhhh, you’ll wake the fanbabies.
Also, I support Nintendo.
Get lessons in learning when a person is supporting a console or GTFO.
Was I talking to you, dude?
BTW, continue tasting Sony’s tears.
Who wouldn’t?
He didn’t Betray Sony and jump to Nintendo. He’s an actor. He goes where the job takes him. Sony and Nintendo aren’t nations or ideologies. They’re videogame systems, and you CAN promote both harmoniously.
Actually, that’s untrue. During his time with Sony, he wasn’t allowed to say anything good in public regarding the competition and part of his job was to slander the other companies.
I didn’t know that. I mean, I figured all actors representing a product have some kind of clause which restricts their involvement in a competing product, but the fact is that he’s an actor. If they tell him to go to XBOX next, he’s not betraying Nintendo. He’s just doing his job.
Yeah, I know that he’s an actor and he’s just doing his job, I was just pointing out that he couldn’t really express his feelings about other companies. (:
Bridgestone tires for mario kart wii u ?!
But more interestingly, I think he had a character in mod nation racers or something like that.
The ironing is delicious.
Wow lmfao
I noticed this too, more of a kind of fun fact than him actually “betraying” Sony.
At the rate gaming is going, it will replace religion hahahahahah.
We don’t need Sorny or Microshit drones on our side anyway unless it’s to promote the great N…;D
@sickr.Could u please show us his first wii advertisment please?I can’t find anything on google
nothing*
*anything.
He’s an actor. When they lose their contract to something, they move on to different stuff.
Happens all the time.
now look at this first they steal our idea with the playstation move and now they steal our guy watch you guys and see how the wii u will fail. PS4 FTW!!!!!
Dude, once again, epic username
Nintendo is the right company for the gaming industry
So is competition which you hate so badly…
What he fails to realise is that he is wishing Death of a company comprised of people that need salaries. So the can eat Wash there ass, and sleep in a safe environment. Im not gonna wish death on a Company if I buy a bad product. Especially if that product/company Has cause me(or) lead me Physical/bodily harm, Or gave away private info thats why I dont put personal Info on shit. You Acting Like a Sony PS Tool and an XBoT would.
Oh yeah this is exactly what Nintendo needs to convince people to get wii u,
That’s a sensationalist title. Linkbaiting as it will.
That’s some shameful stuff man. Seriously, what was on your mind when writing this?
Maybe this blog deserves the shitty community it has.
“Kevin Butler does a quick advertisement for Nintendo” would have been a less demeaning and more resonable name for the article. But as always, sickr does things the hard way. This is coming from a Sony/Nintendo customer.
:/
not the hard way, he does things the troll way. i feel like this site will eventually end up being the next 4chan
Kevin Butler – VP of Nintendo Kickin’ Ass and Takin’ Names
Well, there goes one of my most wanted fighters in PlayStation All Stars. :(
Nintendo should make a commercial where Kevin throws the names Sony and Microsoft to the Great Mighty Poo and takes care of their shit.
That would be the best commercial ever! If you’re eight-years-old..
I am the Great Mighty Poo and I’m going to throw my shit at you (imagine musical notes; I don’t know how to add them)
Kevin Butler is just a character created by Sony. The actor portraying him is named Jerry Lambert he is an actor appearing in multiple TV shows and films. He has also appeared in multiple commercials for companies including GEICO, Holiday Inn, and Bridgestone.
The advertisement in question clearly states during the commercial that the contest is not affiliated with Nintendo and the consoles are provided by a third party.
This is not news at all.
HE’S A FUCKING ACTOR.
That’s amusing lol. *gasp* he could be a spy for sony only acting to jump ship to nintendo xD
Who cares? Kevin Butler is highly annoying. I can’t stand those commercials. I don’t care where he goes, so long as he goes – preferably away!
Kevin Buttler doesn’t matter we have alot of regginator
I am seriously convinced that this is a tabloid site.
Reblogged this on drndark.
He’s an actor, so what’s the big deal? Judging by the comments I’ve seen here, some people need to learn to separate fantasy from reality. Leave luck to heaven.
Ew keep that shit on sony, stay away from nintendo!
It’s Ridge Racer! RIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACERRR!!!
Hmm wonder what this will mean.

He didn’t betray anyone. He’s an actor. Actors go where they’ll get to act and get paid.
