So people in America don't know about the Wii U, the new advertisement doesn't help either.
Look at this old video: Date October 5th

That's pretty sad.
This is why I despise most modern gamers.

Why? Modern games are 1 million times better than retro games, it's just that it's spawned a lot of people who only play sports games and shooting games because it's the fad at the moment, it will die out.

I watched that video...he asks people who don't even look like gamers..middle aged women?? Seriously? Stupid public..

Gamers look for new games/tech etc..they watch E3..they know, isn't that all that matters? Who cares if the old guy down the street knows what a Wii u is? ..that video annoyed me actually. Now I'm annoyed & can't sleep..dammit

Pretty amazing. The guy is doing a better job at advertising it than Nintendo are.
At first they're like "nope" then he explains it and "yeah i'd buy it"

Well to be honest I think Nintendo of America is doing a terrible job in the launch of the Wii U. The commercials aren't good, and considering most of the videos that show the functionality of the Wii U are in japanese. I really don't know what Nintendo of America's job is :(

i think the public doesn't know about the wii u because they actually do real life stuff and not waste their time watching tv or playing video games or reading bout video game consoles. so i think that it will be easy getting a wii u in a small area because only the gamers know about it. and there are not alot of gamers in small areas.

Are they 5? Mario is the best series around, tell those kids, to grow and pair and play real games like mario galaxy.

The wii u will get more recognized as more and more people see the ads, something is working because loads of people have pre ordered.

Nintendo haven't made the Wii U being a different system clear enough, from the very moment it was announced there was confusion and that confusion will most likely continue for quite some time after release.

This statement is false. The previous statement is true.

RIP in peace Nintendo.

To be honest I don't see why we're even discussing this now when this video was made before the advertising campaigns!! It's almost totally irrelevant now in my opinion.

that video is very stupid, the regular people dont know about it before its release, they are not like us reading gaming press and searching for gaming news on the internet

its like if you go around asking old people mothers and workers about ps4 or 720 they dont will know a carp

Obviously we wouldn't ever be friends Lol. I prefer Retro games to modern by a very large margin. And modern gamers are tge problem, not the game as much.

Fair enough, but modern games have way more potential and longevity, not an opinion, a fact.

Shutup stereotype.

To be honest I don't see why we're even discussing this now when this video was made before the advertising campaigns!! It's almost totally irrelevant now in my opinion.

The advertisment is techno over people playing on some ipad thingy by Nintendo they are still confused.

Are they 5? Mario is the best series around, tell those kids, to grow and pair and play real games like mario galaxy.

The wii u will get more recognized as more and more people see the ads, something is working because loads of people have pre ordered.

That's not gonna work.

Gamers look for new games/tech etc..they watch E3..they know, isn't that all that matters? Who cares if the old guy down the street knows what a Wii u is? ..that video annoyed me actually. Now I'm annoyed & can't sleep..dammit

These people are the ones who made the Wii a success,do you really think the Wii U will be a sucess if only gamers buy it?
