Nintendo has launched a new ad campaign for families that urges them to upgrade to a Wii U. However, these new ads represent the way Nintendo has mishandled the system’s marketing since launch.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
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.
Wow, with the way they have handled the Wii U since it was unveiled almost two years ago, it's like they are sabotaging themselves with all these bad decisions. Who thought these new commercials would be a good idea?
I don't want The Wii U to fail; they need to do better than this if they want to convince anyone to buy the thing. These commercials will not work.
In all fairness this is what the original commercials should have been.
*Sigh* honestly does Nintendo WANT the Wii U to fail? There should be better advertising for this thing, not to mention MORE of it. I know plenty of people who at the moment don't even know this console exists.
EDIT: They should have also gave it a better name. Wii 2 would have been better, honestly. Most people just see it as an upgraded Wii, or Wii(U)pgrade
good luck
