User:DeadPixel/sandbox/Wii U Commercials

The Wii U (ウィー ユー, Wī Yū), codenamed Project Café, is a home video game console developed by Nintendo, and the successor to the Wii. Released first in North America in 2012 and discontinued on January 31, 2017, it was the first eighth-generation home video game console and competed with the mh:awesomegames:PlayStation 4 and mh:awesomegames:Xbox One, it failed to be a commercial success. The ads released for it are partially responsible for this failure.

Why They Sucked

 * 1) They were focused more on the gamepad and way less on the console, which is barely visible in many of these ads. This contributed to many people thinking the gamepad was just an upgrade for the original Wii.
 * 2) They focused way too much on younger kids and families, failing to gain the appeal of more hardcore and mature gamers, in fact, these commercials feel like they were produced by Nickelodeon rather than a different commercial company.
 * 3) Horrible acting, mostly from the kids.
 * 4) Cringe worthy dialogue, such as "HOT BUTTERED POPCORN THAT'S A DEAL!"

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) When the mh:awesomegames:Nintendo Switch was released, They started making better commercials and started focusing more on the hardcore and Mature audience rather than the younger kids and families.
