Will the potential of Splatoon and Mario Maker be let down by marketing?

They barely gave MK8 and SSB much of a push, cant see Splatoon or Mario Maker getting anything.
The way I see it, if its not on 3DS its not getting advertised.

I actually saw a good number of Mario Kart 8 commercials and also Smash, which I saw in the theaters no less. 

Their marketing has gone up since 2013.  Bayonetta 2 had commercials on appropriate channels, Hyrule Warriors had commercials on appropriate channels, Smash and MK8 same.  It's not spectacular, no, but it's a lot better.  We'll just have to wait and see; they're not consistent enough to make calls.

Well, part of the issue here is... the way we consume media is changing. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Crunchyroll all exist on a subscrion based platform which allows them to cut commercials out of the picture. When we DO consume media via traditional TV media, we record it and fast forward at 16x speed through the commercials and don't view them anyway. Then there's Youtube, Twitch, and other such services that more and more people are gravitating towards due to the varity of content and unfilted/unbiased(mostly) opinions. 

Going forward, I personally would love to see a multi-tiered approach to Nintendos advertising which includes some traditional advertising, but mostly focusing on a less traditional approach via Youtube type services. Remember when Destiny was close to launch? You couldn't watch a single video on Youtube or Twitch stream without being forced to see a Destiny add at least twice. Now while Destiny turned out to be mediocre at best(my opinion, its mmo halo),  that didn't matter one bit due to how many copies it sold super fast due to all the hype.
