I hope nobody has posted this already but here are some new ads for the Wii u

I sense this is going to irritate people but they are probably the right ads for the right audience.

 

Naff, yes but so were the Wii ad's.

I wonder how much these people were paid to do this...


Hi, my name is Alph. I live on a planet named Koppai. I am famous for saving my planet from starvation. My best friends are Brittany and Captain Olimar, NOT Captain Charlie. I like surfing the KopNet and playing Kopetball.

Mmm... Upgrade to WiiU?

I thought upgrading was adding something to an excisting piece of hardware. Strangely, I think Nintendo should communicate the exact oposite. Enough people don't know that WiiU is a true next gen Nintendo console. The name Wii and the term Upgrading bring only more confusion.

I'm not sure the Gamecube sold enough to use their adverts as a template.

I can see my supplied video (see below) as the template. Change the audience to gamers with guns and uniforms....keep the dark ambience. When the hammer hits the screen, simple pop up some bright Nintendo imagery of Mario, Pikmin, Zelda.

Nintendo's kinda got it. They just can't explain completely right. @_@ For the commercial's audience, I guess it works.


Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.

If they were diehard core gamers they'd already know, now wouldn't they? Games wouldn't be much of a problem either. Kinda like Vita. Doesn't seem like alot, but once you start digging you find a gold mine.

I think those commercials are really good. For the ones it`s targeting, it`s really well done.

Most of them already know about the Wii U, these commercials are for families, Most of them don't even know it exists... there was 1 family that bought the Wii and the New super mario bros U thinking it would play the game...

No. The diehard gamers are playing Xbox's and still think the Wii U is just shovelware and is unaware of how cool it is because all they see is a stupid corny kiddie image.

They were...alright

 

A bazillion times better then those awful glowing cubicle commercials, so at least they are making progress 



No. The 12 year old CoD gamers are playing Xbox's and still think the Wii U is just shovelware and is unaware of how cool it is because all they see is a stupid corny kiddie image; despite the fact they are all little pre-pubescent kids themselves.

i didn't clicked to see them... U see little children and fathers, also grannies...  To be honest I saw 1 and they speak about "upgrading to wii U" ... Then they say " why people think its an upgrade and not a new console"  I am going to be a hater if I say this adverts are fail?

 

Who takes decisions for these adverts?

Whose got the money? the parents. Who are those ad's aimed, the parents.

 

Nintendo will pick up hardcore fans with software not ad's. When they have the right software they'll advertise it.

 

For the time being treating it as an upgrade when you have such a high install base seems like a sensible approach.
