Didn't show enough games, but Nintendo has made it a point with a Wii U that games aren't the most important thing anymore, so in that sense it's consistent. Dumb, but consistent.

Actually that is better representation of the video than what I posted. The lack of showing all the games is the biggest issue. They're focusing too much on the people and the gamepad. Need to show games and maybe just a splash of the extra services.

The ad is clearly aimed at the mainstream. And it does a excellent job. It's not about facts or even features, it's all about selling it!

The music is 'in'          -> WIN
Bright colors                -> WIN
Excitement -> WIN
Excessif smiling           -> WIN
Classy    -> WIN
Familly fun                   -> WIN
                                It's all WIN, baby.

In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Not bad, but that song could go. The beat was fine but the higher pitch revving/scratching/whatever.

Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Terrible ad, didn't differentiate the WiiU from the Wii, didn't display any non nintendo games, didn't show how it was better than the PS3 or 360, but did have terrible music (it isn't dubstep either).

I really liked the video. Seems to be appealing and the music does fit the video - even if it isn`t all that good.

Meh ad. Should have spent more time showing the gamepad. Need to separate it from the Wii to define it as the next step.

Also, the karaoke holding the gamepad like that looked so incredibly awkward.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I thought it was ok...but it doesn't show the "hardcore" market at all. All the games are Sing, NintendoLand, Lego and Mario. There are probably other ads coming along.

Yup, this ^^

They need one to showcase the 'hardcore' titles too, particulalrly from third parties, such as Black Ops 2, ZombiU, FIFA 13, Rayman Legends, Assassin's Creed 3 etc.
