Nintendo Of America Are Rooting For Marshawn Lynch In Today's SuperBowl

Everyone is picking their SuperBowl winner for tonight's big game, but a surprising supporter has shown it's face. Most major corporations stay neutral in such matters, but then again, Nintendo aren't most corporations.

Riffing on Marshawn Lynch's confessed love for playing as Toad in Mario Kart on Conan, the company's American division sent this tweet to the player with a GIF of Toad hitting a Mii Karter with a red shell.

Thanks to GameSpot for the catching this.

Hey @MoneyLynch! We heard you like Toad, so we used #MK8 to run a simulation of Sunday's game… pic.twitter.com/lWPuqyAuKO

Hey, wait, doesn't that Mii look little bit like Rob Gronkowski?

The support for the Seahawks shouldn't be that surprising mind. Nintendo's offices are just outside of Seattle. Still. It is a pretty brash statement.
