What do you think about Nintendos progress in marketing with their new console? I didnt put this in the Nintendo section because I wanted to keep this a round table discussion.

Marketing is very important. This is how you do it, Nintendo:

Personally, no amount of marketing could ever make me drink red Mountain Dew. It's just wrong.

I don't like the dubstep music in the USA ads. Perhaps the teenagers might like that? Doesn't seem like many people do on this site.

Well, I live in Sweden and we usually don't have too many VG ads, but I haven't seen anything at all here about the Wii U!!

Bet with ninjablade:

For 1 day sig controll; I say bayo2 will stay exclusive on a Nintendo platform a year after release, while he's saying it will go multiplat within a year.

Bet with Dr.Grass:

If I win he will call me King in his sig for a whole year, and if I lose I will proclaim my stupidity - for a whole year.

 

Why Nintendo isn't getting 3rd party support

Megaton predictions for PS4 at e3

 

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Yes, the media has been pondering what to even make of the Wii U because its not like the Wii where it makes things simpler for casuals. Nintendo has all the Wii's sold out, but what will happen next year? How will the marketing need to pick up and change?

Dubstep is still in. I mean, it worked wonders for Mortal Kombats rebirth.
