I'd say the number one reason it's bombing is a problem that Nintendo has had for a few years now. Marketing.

Don't know about everywhere else, but I have seen absolutely no advertisements for the game in the UK. Doubt most people even know it exists.

Wii U's marketing in general has been disastrous.


I'd feel safe in saying that marketing is the main reason the Wii U is struggling. Advertisement is few and far between, and when they do it's not impactful in the least. I've never seen a company so reluctant in creating buzz for their product. It's border line criminal.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
