Will you post it when you find a demo kiosk somewhere in the Netherlands? I'm checking stores every few days, but nothing so far. http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63090Why is it even called Wii U anyway? Is the U supposed to resemble a wang to wee out of...so nobody will ever not think of Nintendo when going to the bathroom. Why? What's Nintendo's ultimate goal with this? Potty training with Dr Kawashima? A paradigm business shift to ultramodern Japanese style toilets manufacturing? You can never tell. Miyamoto so wacky! http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63090I don't think I've seen any commercials here yet which is worrysome. The original Wii did have a really dumb name, but Nintendo pulled the marketing off brilliantly. Two Japanese guys going everywhere saying "Wii would like to play". Nintendo needs something like this for the WiiU if they want the same amount of success.  http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63090I haven't heard anybody about the 'pew pew' sounds, other than some lonely nerds on internet forums. So it's probably not a big deal at all. Didn't bother me anyway, it was a fine advert that didn't influence my decision to buy a WiiUiiU or not. You should have seen some of Nintendo's commercials in the past generations of consoles... http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63090I think that it's worked to get the word out, people are talking about it &#45; but perhaps for the wrong reasons.<br/><br/>I don't think necessarily the Wii worked because of the name "Wii" &#45; it drew discussion initially after Nintendo revealed the name, but became a success because it had the benefit of a controller that immediately made sense &#45; you swing it, and your on&#45;screen avatar does the work. A completely new brand and controller type &#45; there was no need to differentiate it from the GameCube.<br/><br/>With the GamePad, there is a need to separate it from the original Wii given the name "Wii U" rather than "Wii 2" and whilst the advert has its positives, I just found it brushed over the completeness of the console and controller, coming across rushed.<br/><br/> http://www.cubed3.com/topic/63090The fact that so many people are talking about it (especially the "Spew spew spew" bit) shows it&#39;s worked anyway.  Much like the Wii name was laughed at at first, it worked in the end, because it made people talk about it.<br/><br/>The next day after the advert was shown, Amazon UK sold out of the Premium Wii U. Again, I don&#39;t think that&#39;s any coincidence, the advert probably helped.<br/>
