nintendo should recreate that ad with where the dad says "Bow!" as he taps the mom's leg, and the kids are describing reason why they need a Wii U. Just do it again but for Nintendo Switch 2. Then will Nintendo realize it actly wasn't a marketing issue for the Wii U, but a software issue, and that NSW2 would've been significantly more successful had they chosen the route of some crazy name like Nintendo Stay (for ppl wanting to purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 for home use) & Nintendo Go (for ppl wanting to purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 for home use). The systems would be the exact same, just a marketing strategy to showcase that Switch 2 is both a handheld and a home console.

I think software played a larger issue than people think, but Wii U obviously had some marketing issues too.

Switch 2 is simple and it works. No reason to not do the obvious. Unless you're really changing the hardware just slap a 2 on it.

they should really consider reusing the linked ad.

...also, yeah, Wii U is by far Nintendo's weakest system from a software perspective. 2013 was completely empty besides Pikmin 3 (July) and SM3DW (November), 2014 was good but still a far cry from Nintendo's usual output, 2015 had Splatoon and Mario Maker, and 2016 was completely dry. The highs were not super high (Pikmin 3, SM3DW, Mario Maker, Splatoon, MK8 (which only released with like 16 tracks(?))), and the lows were catastrophically low.
