come on guys the 3rd one is great! It's nearly perfect. If you were a parent and didn't know much about video games it looks like a heap of fun. Very cute and family friendly ad.

Yeah but no one likes those ads!

Take this one for example:

That's much better family add.

Or that one. They don't even show why the car is good, yet they're infinitely better family friendly commercials.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you are on about. I think the 3rd Nintendo ad makes the Wii U look like a tonne of fun for the whole family. 'Family friendly' as in a great fun gift for the family and 'cute' as it is a great gift to buy your young kid. I'm not sure how a family friendly car ad can be compared. You don't buy a car for your 5 year old daughter.

The car ads I showed because they do the same thing but much better. Neither the Wii U ad or the car ads are actually trying to sell you on the pros of their product. Instead they are trying to associate something good with the product. In Nintendo's case they have a scripted looking family "having fun" with the Wii U. They are basically trying to sell it to consumers by selling "a good family time" to the consumers. With the car ads they are doing the exact same thing yet in a much, much better way. The first one sells "children magic" and in the second one they are selling "a happy time."

But the 3rd ad which I keep referring too does show many of the pros of the WiiU. 

- Better graphics 

- You can play on the gamepad

- The gamepad also has a touch screen.

- It makes you feel like a kid again.

- It's a fun time, it's something different
