Places like Game stock what sells, and Wii U isn't selling. I honestly don't know what Nintendo could do, but I definitely think adverts full of game footage would be a pretty sensible place to start. It won't solve everything though, as I think there's a lot of people out there that know the games exist and just aren't interested in more Mario Kart and more Smash Bros. The hardware is far behind it's competition in the US too, so I don't know why everyone is still going on about the UK hating Nintendo. I'm pretty sure Hyrule Warriors won't get as high as number 3 on the US chart. Still only 2 Wii U games in almost 2 years that have appeared on the NPD Top 10. Hardware numbers are also tracking behind the Gamecube and Dreamcast on NPD, so it's not like the UK is this anomaly dragging down the overall picture.

Thread is about the Wii U in UK, so yeah, people are talking about how Nintendo does in the UK. Which is terribly.

Change the English people. They obviously have a terrible taste in games. It's been shown time and again. Better in Japan and U.S.

Not everyone in the UK is English. Also, the 3ds sells well here. Tomodachi Life is still in the charts, even though it launched in June. Nintendo did advertise that, however.

SNES did fine.
Wii did fine
N64 did better than the Saturn.

Compare the right things.
