Good avertising oppurtunity.  Now let  them utilize  it.  They should sponsor it and have the  Wii U logo  everywhere.

Brilliant marketing opportunity, I was worried Nintendo wouldn't bother having any involvement.

I bet you they have casual games only.

Which is understandable. They could really use the Games to reel in some casuals.

Ah well the Olympic Games have been a controversie lately because of the anti-gay law and everything. Human/gay rights is the first thing the people here think off when you talk about the olympic games in sochi. Ticket sales reportedly have been lower than expected so while it's smart that they are finally marketing their products and games, it might just spark something nobody wants.

I don't want to get into a debate or anything but I just want to say that although Russia has these anti-gay laws in place, they are blown way out of proportion by the western media. Putin has even said he welcomes gay people to attend/compete (and why shouldn't he since the law people are talking about only prohibits the promotion of homosexuality to minors?). And on top of that, while we in the west may disagree with these laws and views on homosexuality, the Russian people generally support it. http://www.theguardi...nto-putin-hands

 

Anyway, at the end of the day this is all politics and shouldn't come into sports or in Nintendo's case, business.

Oh no, I know. Really we have been on top off it over here, seeing as we have a longstanding collaberation with Russia and all. I was just that things like this tend to get taken out of context and misunderstood and then spread like wild fire, which isn't something proffitable.

Pokedex entry: Mewtwo: The butt pokemon. It is really sexy and any pokemon that sees it wants to have sex with it. It's power comes from it's butt.

Pretty surprising seeing as it's still illegal to wed in 99% of the US if you're a homosexual.

Well, that's a false statistic.  But we're surely drifting off the topic of Wii U News

 

 

I'm glad to see Nintendo's presence at the games.  And would only imagine they'd promote their latest M&S Olympic title at such a venue.  Now... since they're proving that can figure out a target market at at least one location... let's see what other places they can figure out to get the word out about their hushhush system!
