Kotaku:
These are so terrible I'd tell you not to watch them, but screw it, if I had to, you have to as well.
If time travel is invented anytime soon, giving us the chance to atone for past mistakes, I like to think the first person in line will be the man who signed off on the name "Wii U" instead of "Wii 2" or "New Nintendo Console That's Not The Wii OK Guys".
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
I remember that they also compared the Wii U to the Wii. That wasn't smart because why would you trash your OWN console. They should have compared it to the 360, PS3, or other handhelds and stuff.
Hardly seen any promotion material for the Wii U outside of gaming sites. Seemed like I couldn't escape Nintendo ramming the Wii down my throat at the time.
That's not advertising with a Panic Button....
Those...weren't that bad? I just feel like they didn't do enough to make the distinction that this is a brand new console, not an "upgrade" to your Wii.
Haha wow Nintendo is really desperate to be doing ads like this. I especially love how in the third ad the daughter tries to high five her mom and the mom just disses her. Great editing Nintendo.
And it's so poorly acted.
