People have been complaining about the lack of marketing by Nintendo since their lack of marketing for the 3DS before the launch of the Wii U.
Wii U marketing is terrible. Nintendo Directs are usually lacking in the information, and their external marketing campaigns have been non-existant. They don't show up to trade shows, it is like they want people to forget about them. It was a terrible time to cut marketing too, right at the transitional phase of a generation when a lot of people are looking at new platforms. Their strong Wii and DS marketing worked wonders the first half of last generation, it is very odd that they decided to go with much weaker marketing for the Wii U and 3DS. Nintendo's marketing department sucks this generation.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
