Re: Wii Sports Club Marketing Steps Up in Japan

@ferthepoet It all depends on your house and where you have your Wii U. Basically the Gamepad doesnt have much range because Nintendo put in a "if its not this good dont work" type of mechanic with the signal strength otherwise what your seeing and whats happening on the console wouldn't sync up.

General rule of thumb i have noticed
The signal can go through two thin walls or one thick wall easily
If your house has some sort of metal or vinyl siding dont expect to make it to the porch.
Put your Wii U upstairs and for the most part you can reach all of the floor below.

Off of my list i have been able to do all those things personally with no extra effort except for the porch one at my original place due to the layout and placement of the console .

@Kaze_Memaryu Thanks, i do work in Marketing and it would be VERY awesome to work at Nintendo NA .Maybe i will have to make the video and send that in with a resume.

@ChessboardMan I personally would disagree based off of my experience. Its so little information it wont leave any real impression. But here is the fun part of marketing, this conversation we are having right now is thanks to that one picture which was its goal in the first place. Get people talking and spreading the word.

@superstick i know the feeling, thats why i took care of that problem and i am currently waiting on UPS to get here with my 3DS XL

@ChessboardMan to build interest, your release a picture that just gives you barely enough but its more then you had before(which was most likely nothing). If i saw a release for Ironfall before this i would of had no interest, now i know just a tiny little bit about it which is enough for me to read or look at the pictures of the proper reveal.

@Nintenjoe64 iv considered it .

@thesilverbrick Sadly it depends on your house and your placement of the Wii U. Before i moved i lived at the end of the house so i couldnt go anywhere with it because the signal had to go through several walls. Now with my new place its dead center and it reached everywhere.

@sinalefa The confusing part is the Wii in the title for a game that is for Wii U. The Wii U has a terrible branding issue due to not differentiating enough from the Wii so people still arnt to sure what it is. Having this called Wii Sports club justs adds to the issue. Obviously this isnt an issue with us on a Nintendo message board, but these commercials arnt for us.

@lbs Soft voice + a Voweltastic language . Not to mention there is some primal attraction that exists with foreign voices for some reason (perhaps due to knowing they have diverse genes compared to yours? )

Now could we get some US advertising. I keep saying Nintendo needs some sort of advertisement showing where you can use the Wii U gamepad, it could be funny :

Cooking in the Kitchen? Put Netflix on and keep watching or Youtube to follow a recipe

Outside having a smoke? No more Angry Birds with that cig; you’re now hunting Rathalos in Monster Hunter

Taking an extended sit on the toilet ? Words with friends pffffft; you’re now playing Mario in a tanooki suit stomping on goombas in Super Mario Bros U

In the tub taking a bath? No more just listening to music; you’re captaining the Jack Doll and finding booty in Assassins Creed 4

Socializing in the Living room with family you’re not fond of? No more fondling your phone hoping for someone to get back to you to save you from this misery; you get to hunt down the Joker and his thugs because you’re Batman!

Also WHY is this called Wii Sports Club? Thats just running into the same problem before with consumers not knowing the difference.

@belmont You could just get a generic pre load debit card. As for how you pick your version, you will be contacted once release is around the corner asking what code you would like.

I feel some companies should take a look at oddworld in terms of how it came back into the limelight without crowdsourcing. First thing they did was make an HD version of their games to bring in the revenue, now are remaking their most famous game, which will then lead to new games.

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U May Be Playing Catch-Up With Some Developers, But Money Always Talks

Nintendo's goal at this point should be to simply build an even larger first and second party base to have a large exclusive library. This would make it so you buy a Wii U for XyZ games beyond from traditional nintendo titles. Let Xbox and Playstation duke it out, they are so close to each other in what they offer its not even mentioning. Nintendo needs to focus on not being THE game console your purchase but ONE of the game consoles your purchase.
