Nintendo's marketing has sucked generally speaking for like 25 years, lol.
They got badly outmarketed by Sega during the Genesis days and they've never really had *really* great commercials since. The NES era was the last time they really dominated the marketing aspect.
The Wii sold because of word of mouth not TV ads, the DS sold even more than the Wii and had mediocre ads mostly.
Marketing just isn't Nintendo's thing. It's like an awkward gangly kid trying to play sports.
They should just hire celebrities instead of trying to be clever. They're just not that clever with the marketing aspect.
