If you want to differentiate and show something new, don't advertise something we can play on the DS. Also the throwing shurikens bit, just makes it look gimmicky, they should have shown some of the ways arkham city is using it. I really hope they don't just send the Wonderful 101 out to die like Project Zero and Pandora's Tower. http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63066The advert is a terrible fail for Nintendo, this should be the thing they place on there website, not on television.<br/><br/>Do you remember the original Wii adverts or the XBOX 360 ones.  They had an element of this is how the console works but what made it revolutionary.<br/><br/>This just fails to clearly demonstrate what the real potential is but doesn't capitalize on any specific area because of the annoying voice over!!! <br/><br/>Felt like I was waiting for some TOWIE stars to stroll onto the screen! http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63066<br/><br/>Yeah, blu&#45;ray would have been great, would have allowed them to switch to the smaller cases too to save manufacturing costs, but hopefully the video services like Netflix and Youtube will offset the lack of disc media playback. I'd be surprised if they didn't advertise that when it's ready. http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63066Hmm on second look it's actually Mass Effect that looked worse. http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63066'speeng...speeng speeng speeng!' haha that was actually brilliant &#45; made me laugh. I think the advert was nicely balanced in terms of appeal and games. But those last few games didn't look too great(the ports). I don't remember them so washed too hot like that. The Batman one in particular looked more like 'The gray knight rises' to me.( Edited 22.10.2012 08:48 by God ) http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63066Anyone else find it interesting that they didn't mention "Nintendo" even once in the whole advert? You can only just barely see their logo on the boxes at the end, otherwise it's just the "Wii U". Perhaps they have so much faith in the Wii brand that they don't feel the need to say that this is the new Nintendo console?<br/><br/>That said, am I the only one here who finds it hard to judge these adverts? Obviously they're not aimed at us at all since we get all the information we need ourselves and people who buy consoles when seeing adverts might think differently. http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63066Yep &#45; the whole "New Console, New Controller" <i>has </i>to be on practically everything &#45; it's a little unsettling but a strong campaign can really do the business.<br/><br/>Still think they missed a trick with omitting DVD/Blu&#45;Ray support &#45; I know it would have increased costs, but the off&#45;TV play would have been strengthened by that imo.
