Jerry Lambert (the actor behind Sony’s “Kevin Butler”) seen in an ad promoting the Wii
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Nintendo, News, Random, Wii | 0 comments
Perhaps my favorite thing that exists in the world is irony, and while I know this story doesn’t actually “mean” anything tangible, it has about as much of the stuff as you could cram into anything particularly related to video games. Why? The actor portraying Sony’s great marketing icon “Kevin Butler” is appearing in a Bridgestone advertisement that contains a tie-in with the Wii.
It’s not clear to me whether this is a contest or a promotion or something less significant, but it is- for what it’s worth- ironic.

Namco Bandai will undoubtedly have one of the biggest lineups for this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Between playable games and others being shown in video form, the company will have around titles games on hand.
