    I’ve been listening to Reggie’s book “Disrupting the Game” and he mentions how Nintendo of Japan did NOT like this ad campaign and were totally against it (thought the Japanese businessmen were acting far too familiar with strangers). Reggie pushed hard for it and that’s why we have it today. Good thing because they are excellent and memorable commercials.

      @@Nami yeah, the Wii U commercials (which were hardly any… perhaps, only on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel from what I can remember from 🤷‍♂️) weren’t really exciting… Here, Nintendo proved how fun and collaborative the Wii was, with how well the new motion controls were. But in the Wii U commercials, they didn’t show what the Gamepad was capable of doing in a sufficient way. They only showed it off as a “newer” Wii console that can have you play without having to use a TV, and later confusing people that the Wii U was an accessory for the Wii, and not as a whole console. With how bad the Wii U sold, all Nintendo did later was trying so hard to persuade to people that the Wii U was an entirely brand new console, and not showing how capable the console was at being powerful and fun (for example, those AWFUL kid commercials, where the kids were like: “wE aLrEaDy hAvE a wIi sWeEtIe!!”). Not to mention, Nintendo kind of marketed the Wii U as a console that was exclusively just for kids… there was a lack of diverse among those commercials, where the adults and teens can also have fun with it, like here. At least they learned their lesson with the Switch.

    I remember these ads. The commercials alone made the Wii look like the hottest device out when I was younger, until I finally got one in 2010. Seriously Nintendo, this stuff matters. I think the Wii U is great, and I love how it finally has fair support for 3rd party titles along with it's own exclusives....But your marketing for this console sucks. Bring back these guys and make a memorable promotion that sicks out. That and keep in mind, the Wii was praised for the novelty of having the world's first motion games. Today, that's old. Tablet and touch, old. What Nintendo has pieced together with the Wii U is great, but it's technological backbone isn't exactly new anymore. Today it's all about COD, and COD, and uhmm..COD. And of course which console is better, which is more like the PC, and what averages higher FPS on said benchmark? Seriously nothing against 1st person shooters, but is that like the only thing out anymore? Where's the variety again, where every game was unique?

    I remember being 15 and watching this video over and over, desperately wanting a Wii back in '06. Me and two of my friends all wanted consoles for Christmas. I wanted the Wii, one of them a Xbox 360 and the other a PS3, we ended up getting them and then we would constantly argue about witch one was the best, and having game nights... One weekend we were at the PS3 guys house playing that, next we played the 360 and next the Wii and then it started all over... Drinking copious amounts of Coke and Red Bull... Then in the middle of the night when we wanted a break from the gaming we usually went outside and did stupid stuff around the block like blowing up mailboxes, set stuff on fire or fuck up our schoolyard...

What suburban housemom doesn't got one of those? My point is, the Wii was ultra relevant for its time, and while the Wii U has some great games, those alone simply aren't gonna sell it, at least not with Nintendo's ass marketing campaign. And don't even get me STARTED on their modern naming convention... *cough New 3DS XL cough*

    This is actually hilarious considering that Japan actually has plenty of businesses that send their marketers to your door and they always have a kind of greeting.

      Yeah, the Wii U had almost 0 marketing upon launch. I initially thought it was an add-on for the Wii due to the name.

      @bluedragon9925 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You and *many* other people. Honestly, if Nintendo chose a better name for the system (hell, even *Wii 2* would have been an improvement), the Wii U would have sold *allot* more units because I can guarantee that the reason the Wii U "failed" was *not* because it didn't have any high quality exclusive games available for it...

    One of the greatest adverts of all time. It was the perfect and most charming way to show how the Wii had broad appeal. No gimmicks, no garish in-your-face politics. Just pure fun-makes me wanna dust off my old system!Thanks for the memories, Nintendo.

  • @Parappadarappa2
    @Parappadarappa2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think what Nintendo should’ve done for the Wii U was do a similar slogan like this but instead of “Wii would like to play” it would be “Would U like to play” as a pun on the new name

    the wii u need a commercial like this and maybe this can boost their sales BUT they someway to say THIS IS A WII U,NOT A WII so some people can say ''OH THAT TABLET CONTROLLER THING WAS A DIFFERENT CONSOLE THE WHOLE TIME!!!''.(insert whatcha say music here)
    im sure nintendo can somehow think about this?

    I love all the small Nintendo game references scattered about: Bullet Bill on the side of the smart car, the Triforce on the street sign, in the apartment building there are some fire flowers on the wall, and my favorite as they are walking away from the car on the farm in the corner you can see Power Mushrooms growing

  • @teelerdet
    @teelerdet 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Coulda done this for the wiiu,
    "Wii would like to play with U"
    Since the wiiu ads were about togetherness or whatever this would achieve the same result but better.
