Now Nintendo needs to actually air it. I can't remember the last time I saw a WiiU commercial.

They are more common in Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, my cousin has  seen a lot of them on those channels (including the Zelda: ALBW commercial)

Edit: Forgot to mention Disney Channel

What Wii U games have been shown?

Every fourth commercial on ABC family is for Super Mario 3D World...

That's only a slight exaggeration...

The ad in the OP has been aired at least five or six times today...

And there's a Lets Dance 2014 commercial that's getting played relatively regularly...


Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome...

My one concern is that they show the NSMBU and NSL bundle after advertising SM3DW...

Some consumers may think that SM3DW comes bundled with the system...



Have a nice day...

This is possibly one of the worst Nintendo commercials I have seen in a while.

Screw families! And I don't like how they used the word "upgrade".

Nintendo markets on the Disney Channel/Cartoon Network/ABC Family pretty regularily actually. I remember I had to baby sit my friend's daughter and I saw more Nintendo commercial on the Disney Channel (especially the Luigi's Mansion 2 spot) in about 2 hours than I have probably on regular network TV in the last year and a half.

The Disney personalities playing Wii U has been around since launch.

They always do this. I don't think there's a single Nintendo ad on Youtube that still has the comments and likes enable, Nintendo ads are usually magnets for trolls. 



Nintendo and PC gamer

What has been happening with WiiU advertising? In Australia, you saw TONS of ads for the Wii in it's day, and now there's nothing for the WiiU, not even on it's initial couple of weeks.

I suspect that Nintendo was trying to ride the wave from that and cheapskate out on proper advertising.

That's why I STILL meet people who think that the WiiU is an addon for the Wii, and not a new console...
