A reminder of how horrible the ads from Wii U was...

imo the worst one was the "you're a squid now" from the Splatoon add but at least the game still sold gangbusters

That meme'd so hard the Splatoon community still quotes it two and a half years later. If anything, it was so wonderfully bad it helped the game, as opposed to just being bad.

Yeah, a bad-but-memorable ad is much better than a forgettable one. The Splatoon commercial did it's job of getting in your head and making you think about the game well after the commercial ended. Can't say that about most Wii U marketing.
