Nintendo gets some Sarcasticly Awesome New UK Wii U Ad

*No ear piercing dubstep music. Check.

*No people living in strange cubes. Check.

*Spelling out what you can do with the gamepad for people who can't grasp the concept. Check.

*Spelling out that it's a new console for people who can't grasp that concept. Check.

I think we have a winner. NoA should just show this commercial here, no need to change anything.

That has to be the worst commercial i have ever seen



Agreed we need that type of commercial here, a clear message on what it is and what it does.

Also I would to see a commercial talking about exclusive features like Miiverse and TVii

right in time, telling what was to be told, english humor for english people.
all right.
if a lot of people see it, it would help wii U sales in UK.



I don't like it, I would rather they showed games. While also dissing consoles with no gamepad, and hailing it as the next generation of Nintendo consoles to clear up confusion.




So... Where does one go about getting the Tiny Sword of Flaming Truth?



Hmm
