How in the WORLD! Did Nintendo think they did not have to advertise the retail version of Wii Sports Club for Wii U?

They have been marketing it... in the best places too. Social media and directs. If you don't follow Nintendo on facebook, my suggest is to follow them.

Eh.. The only WiiU game which was marketed properly was MK8 really.. 3D World and TF marketing was decent, but it wasn't quite enough!

I think Nintendo ran out advertising money :(.

I've seen a few commercials about the retail version, on hulu

I watch a ton of tv and movies. Have not seen a trailer or commercial one time. Their biggest Wii franchise and they do not target the demographic they should be targeting.

Why would they run a commercial for that game? Christ the way you make it sound every game needs a commercial... big life hint, they don't!
