Has anyone seen an ad on tv yet? I want to see a huge ad blitz as this is the Wii U's flagship game and best chance to sell consoles. But it is Nintendo, and they don't advertise nearly enough. I'm hoping to see ads soon, and hopefully they are better than the disappointing 3D World ads (look, I can blow into the controller, OMG!).

Nintendo said that MK8 advertising will start around the time the game comes out!

I agree! I have yet to see an ad for this game on TV... or anywhere for that matter! I myself can't wait for it to come out, right on time for when finals are done for me... I can spend my summer break playing this!

IMO they need a campaign before it comes out to build hype. And made sure to advertise that you get a FREE game with it as that's a huge selling point.
