The Weeknd playing Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom made me think of the games Michael played like Frenzy Express and Sonic.

Roger Hector, who was previously the director of SEGA Technical Institute, has reflected on Michael Jackson’s involvement with Sonic the Hedgehog 3:
I get this call from one of Michael Jackson’s people, telling me Sonic was Michael’s favorite game and could he come to SEGA and meet the people who made it. https://nintendoeverything.com/sonic-3-michael-jackson-involvement/

After the eminent American writer was given a rare tour of Michael Jackson's fabled ranch, the singer telephoned him in the early hours for a chat. Here, Paul Theroux recalls an unguarded conversation that touched on fame, childhood and Biblical betrayal.

"What about those video games?"

"I love X-Man. Pinball. Jurassic Park. The martial arts ones – Mortal Kombat."

"I played some of the video games at Neverland," I said. "There was an amazing one called Beast Buster."

"Oh, yeah, that's great. I pick each game. That one's maybe too violent, though. I usually take some with me on tour."

While in Japan, The Weeknd visited the headquarters of Sega, the legendary video game company with long-standing ties to Michael Jackson. During the visit, he was photographed being shown Sega’s classic Michael Jackson video game Moonwalker, along with vintage promotional posters from the era.

Now, decades later, one of MJ’s most vocal musical admirers has recreated a similar moment, a subtle but meaningful tribute that connects generations of artists through shared inspiration.
The Weeknd has never hidden his admiration for Michael Jackson. From vocal style to stage presence and visual storytelling, MJ’s influence has been evident throughout his career. His visit to Sega and interest in Moonwalker only reinforce what fans already know: this is an artist who deeply respects the King of Pop’s legacy, not just musically, but culturally.
