So I was watching "The Big Bang Theory" on TBS, then it goes to commercial. What's the first commericial I see?
A commercial where I hadn't known about this game before, I would've immediately been hyped for it!

A teenage kid who is customizing and playing levels based on New Super Mario Bros. U!
Followed by his dad, joining in and going on a nostalgia trip!
A very Nintendo like commercial! But looks pretty cool!
Super Mario Maker comes out September 11th! Day 1 purchase for me!

Here you have another one

I like how this trailer actually shows what the game is and how it plays. Very refreshing thing to see sadly

If we justcould get these commercials in sweden, i would be so happy :D

I think the 2012 and 2013 blunders are the result of forgeting something very important about their history.  What they remembered from the 7th gen was that people like cool new tech.  Which *is* still true.  But what they forgot was that the 7th gen was also about Nintendo's return to boldness and confidence.  They went into the Wii with Legend of Zelda:  Twilight Princess, Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy, and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption in the first year plus new third party IP exclusives.  And they backed it up with the most aggressive Nintendo marketing campaign since the launch of the N64 and it's 1996 campaign.  They grossly underestimated the importance of that element in the Wii's success.  People often talk about the soccer moms buying the Wii post 2009  but they often forget the initial rush of gamers who were hyped because Nintendo combined cool tech with good games and even better marketing.  Nintendo forgot that as well.  Now I think they're starting to remember.

The commercials for Mario Kart 8, Smash 4, Splatoon, and this game have all shown me that Nintendo still knows how to make an awesome commercial!
Now if only they would do that with their second tier, less selling franchises that are just as fun to play as their best sellers.
I'd absolutely love to see what they'd do with Star Fox or Xenoblade this holiday season if the commercials for those games have THIS kind of effort and imagination put into them!

I also think it's really good with the types of channels that these commercials are airing on.
They're not being aired on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel after some little kids' show.
But rather on major adult networks like TBS and USA during some of the more important shows in their lineups! Very good exposure for an IP that everyone who watches it will instantly recognize.

at least they are advertising this!

Come on pull sales....
