Games are easy to make advertising for. Plastic bricks with tablets on their own are very hard to sell. Look at the 3ds- Mario Kart ad, Mario 3d land ad, NSMB2, Layton, Mario Tennis, Zelda, Mario Sticker Star, Nintendogs- all heavily advertised. I don't actually think there has been an exclusive game for the Wii U which can be shown with true innovation on TV.

Something tells me that we will get a wave of Ads with the Monster Hunter 3 bundle/LegoCity/Pikmin 3, which are all Nintendo exclusives. Why waste money on an ad where people say: 'apart from cleaner picture, it looks like the old Mario on the Wii'.

I wouldn't of been surprised that there would have been a Rayman ad as well.

Isn't it obvious that Falco Lombardi is actually a parrot?

True, but not as the opening salvo of a brand new console that is 'Next Generation'.

I swear, it's like all the creativity has gone to the 3DS commercials, which are really good.

Hopefully once we're post launch-window, the good game-oriented ads will start to roll around.

That commercial for Luigi's Mansion is fantastic. That makes me say "I have GOT to get me a 3DS." The Wii U has made the classic case of focusing on the hardware. I think the 3DS did the same when it tried too hard to promote the 3D features.

It's about games. Right now too many people think "Wii U = that odd controller." Nintendo should be aiming for "Wii U = this game that looks fantastic."

That's a bit of a problem at the moment seeing as the only good games are one that were available at launch.
