Nintendo's biggest problem since the N64 is the fact that they don't market enough. 4 million bucks to run a Super Bowl add featuring the Wii U and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is nothing. That's the same as 13,300 Wii U consoles or 80,000k copies of Donkey Kong. With 100 - 120 million viewers that isn't jack squat especially when it is the one time of year when people make a point to actually watch the commercials.
A funny CGI commercial where Diddy and DK are throwing a banana like a football, hit Cranky in the head, and then Cranky proceeds to smack the crap out of Diddy and DK with his cane would have been a hit, especially with how lame the commercials were this year. Nintendo needs to stop being cheap and market their products. Nintendo is worth 12 - 13 billion dollars and markets like they are some small 3rd party developer.
