With Nintendo distributing one-hour free trial tickets, you shouldn’t be afraid to at least take a gander at what Wii Karaoke U by JOYSOUND has to offer. It may not be perfection by any means, but the game’s unique ticket-based approach could easily see it become the go-to karaoke title for any occasion.
"Karaoke is a big deal in Japan. Whilst Western readers may be slightly bemused by the idea of sitting in a small box with their friends and warbling their way through some favourite songs, it's a large part of Asian culture - rather than being relegated to almost-empty bars and holiday destinations as seen in the UK, karaoke venues are prevalent and popular amongst young Japanese people. It makes sense, therefore, for Nintendo to capitalise on this and bring the fun of a "karaoke box" (a small, intimate room for karaoke, usually rented by the hour) into the living room. Whilst it's obviously not the first to do this, with Sony releasing a total of 35 games in the SingStar franchise in English so far and Microsoft having a decent amount of success with 2009's Lips, Wii Karaoke U is the first karaoke sim to really capture the actual karaoke experience."

Nintendo’s aggressive marketing campaign for the Wii U has continued with a plethora of new commercials. Starring tennis icons Andre Aggassi and Steffi Graf – the 5 commercials shows off Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, and Wii Karaoke U.
these commercials arent bad but they need to make some new stuff that doesn't focus on casuals. like the old gamecube commercials:
