Wii U turned 10 years, I got mine at January 15th, 2015 and I still have it here with me. This is part of my youth, now I'm 26 years old and I had a ton of fun with it. Thank You Wii U for everything.
I’m extremely sad the Wii U didn’t do as well as it should, I loved and still love this console and it’s games, the only thing it bothers me is that no one told me the switch was going to have a deluxe version of the games I played (pikmin 3, Mario 3D world)
It's a shame that other company's dont incorporate local multiplayer into there games. I just don't get why they stopped doing it. Cause when my friends come over we always play Nintendo games together like Mario Party, and Smash.

This is hands-down the best Wii U advertising commercial I have seen yet. This is what you guys needed to do a year ago...this video adequately sums up the major differences about the Wii U and it actually explains the new features. Now all you need to do is make shorter 30 second commercials with each commercial discussing a certain aspect of the Wii U, plaster those all over TV, and you'll be set. Good job, Nintendo. For once you've impressed me with your Wii U marketing...keep it up.
This Wii U video is the best one I've seen, and it's a lot better than the ones from last year. Luckily for Nintendo, a good portion of us were able to identify the difference between Wii and Wii U on day one of the Wii U's release. Those who were confused with the systems probably didn't do their homework.
it is easily prob the worst first year sales of any nintendo machine, even lower than game cube. its picking up some steam in japan, but whether that is purely down to no PS4 competition and the holidays is up for to see what happens in 3 months time.
Initially I think Nintendo really wanted to gain back the hardcore audience by promising a console for U... a console where you can make anything you want. Want hardcore games? You can get it on Wii U. Want 1st party exclusives? They're here. Since third parties dropped the ball, Nintendo had to figure out how to market the console. They basically are just calling the Wii U an upgrade to Wii (which as a Wii U owner, it is) and the GamePad is more fun than people think.
“Miiverse allows you to share your experience with other players” Me: Literally says anything that’s not a generic hello - 2 Days later “You’ve been permanently banned from posting!”
I'll never forget the day me and my brother got the Wii U for Christmas in 2015. We both made so many happy memories with this console. We still play it to this day. Thank you Nintendo. I will forever be grateful.
To everyone that hates the Wii U and thinks it was good for nothing: listen, as someone who bought a Wii U in 2021, I have lots of disagreement towards your opinion, but let’s just agree that if the Wii U ads were good for one thing, then it was that they were amazing for Stranger Things cast members and fans alike.
8 years later from this video. I remeber in 2015 I got WindWaker for my birthday. It was great and my first legend of Zelda game. Thank you Nintendo Love you
Now pacage this baby into a 30 second add and ship it on every TV station ranging from kids to adults! Dont stop now Nintendo, Your going great, just push it like you did with the 3DS and soon Wii U will be a success too! the games are there, the advertising is the next step to success!
I don't particularly understand why people preoccupy themselves with market sales. Honestly, if you have one and you think it's fun, then that's all that really matters. Nintendo will never EVER go out of business, so just keep supporting them and enjoy this colorful adventure.
0:45 Looking back when I got my Wii U as a little kid, that aged like fine wine to me. At times, I didn’t want to turn off the tv when I was playing Mario kart with a Wii remote, I eventually got over it. Another one is when I play Wii games. For some reason, my Wii remote almost never works when I point at the tv, but when it comes to the gamepad, it recognizes it (I eventually found out about the red lights in the sensor bar & Wii U camera).
Damn man the Wii U holds a special place in my heart. I remember coming home from school everyday seeing if there was any new news on Mario Kart 8 and Smash 4. And playing those games for hours.
In my opinion, the wii u was a very good console with very good games.and the commercials don't really effect how good the console is. And I still play on my wii u to this day.
FINALLY a DECENT commercial. Keep this up, and whoever made this commercial, keep them and fire everyone else. Just remember these four things, Nintendo, and you'll do fine: 1. Family gaming is dead, now that smartphones exist. 2. 3rd party titles really entice a gamer to buy your console. 3. Let people know this is NOT a Wii, but it's entirely new. 4. Your original audience has grown up. Cater to them (myself included) as well. Hopefully you hired a new marketing staff, and if I may suggest, name your next console something entirely different from this. By having early marketing focusing on the title "Wii U Gamepad", it sounds quite similar to that Draw Pad add-on for the Wii. Funnily enough, some people still don't know the Wii U is a standalone system, or that it even exists. You need better marketing, and this did a pretty good job. Now, get some 3rd party games and other exclusives and you'll do great. Bayonetta 2 was a pretty good deal you got, but that's just one game. Good luck Nintendo, you're gonna need it.
The WiiU is a great console. I bought mine in late 2019 (despite already having a switch) and I'm very satisfied with it: amazing games, the use of the gamepad as a remote and the possibility to play offscreen (the switch does that perfectly thanks to the experiments made with this console, don't forget it😉) is what makes the console stand out. It's sad that people (like younger me) didn't realize it was a new console, and that 3rd parties didn't make a good use of the gamepad (except for a few); it was a waste of potential in my opinion and what made the console "flop". Also R.I.P. Miiverse, I never had the chance to trying it
@@michaelmoss9198 Yeah, the Nintendo Switch has been around since 2017 and the Wii U has gotten a bit out of hand, as it did have some issues and the Nintendo Switch sold more than 89 million units around the globe.
Excellent! You're actually showing that is a new console with a new library of games, and showing off all of the new features. Now make a shorter version, put it on TV, and the Wii U will sell like hot cakes.
Finally a decent commercial. I have the console and love it, but I'm a dedicated fan. You can't expect much from other "floating" consumers. If they had something like this at launch, on tv, the console would be everywhere right now.

About time!! what took so long?!
I'm sure I'll be getting plenty of "exercise" with the Wii Sports Glove.
I did not expect to find you on this video either. (I'm Sagar Patel)
... Ironically... Nintendo has actually made a glove controller some time in the past. Although it failed commercially.
TheNorth15 power glove for super nintendo
This console is honestly good I’m just sad most people thought it was an add on to the Wii
Now pacage this baby into a 30 second add and ship it on every TV station ranging from kids to adults! Dont stop now Nintendo, Your going great, just push it like you did with the 3DS and soon Wii U will be a success too! the games are there, the advertising is the next step to success!
Sad
@@markpogipeterson4056 agree
I don't particularly understand why people preoccupy themselves with market sales. Honestly, if you have one and you think it's fun, then that's all that really matters. Nintendo will never EVER go out of business, so just keep supporting them and enjoy this colorful adventure.
0:45 Looking back when I got my Wii U as a little kid, that aged like fine wine to me. At times, I didn’t want to turn off the tv when I was playing Mario kart with a Wii remote, I eventually got over it. Another one is when I play Wii games. For some reason, my Wii remote almost never works when I point at the tv, but when it comes to the gamepad, it recognizes it (I eventually found out about the red lights in the sensor bar & Wii U camera).
Damn man the Wii U holds a special place in my heart. I remember coming home from school everyday seeing if there was any new news on Mario Kart 8 and Smash 4. And playing those games for hours.
In my opinion, the wii u was a very good console with very good games.and the commercials don't really effect how good the console is. And I still play on my wii u to this day.
Agreed
Well,I have a Wii...
Who is here after nintendo switch 2
Oh the memories! Even if it didn't had a killer library, I'll always love this console!!
Man those recommended tickles my nostalgia lol
Dude it had some great games
FINALLY a DECENT commercial. Keep this up, and whoever made this commercial, keep them and fire everyone else.
Just remember these four things, Nintendo, and you'll do fine:
1. Family gaming is dead, now that smartphones exist.
2. 3rd party titles really entice a gamer to buy your console.
3. Let people know this is NOT a Wii, but it's entirely new.
4. Your original audience has grown up. Cater to them (myself included) as well.
Hopefully you hired a new marketing staff, and if I may suggest, name your next console something entirely different from this. By having early marketing focusing on the title "Wii U Gamepad", it sounds quite similar to that Draw Pad add-on for the Wii. Funnily enough, some people still don't know the Wii U is a standalone system, or that it even exists. You need better marketing, and this did a pretty good job. Now, get some 3rd party games and other exclusives and you'll do great. Bayonetta 2 was a pretty good deal you got, but that's just one game. Good luck Nintendo, you're gonna need it.
They basically did this for the switch lmao
0:38 Nobody noticed that that’s Will Byers the kid from Stranger things, all these years later still lol
Put this on tv Nintendo, albeit, a shorter version.
The WiiU is a great console. I bought mine in late 2019 (despite already having a switch) and I'm very satisfied with it: amazing games, the use of the gamepad as a remote and the possibility to play offscreen (the switch does that perfectly thanks to the experiments made with this console, don't forget it😉) is what makes the console stand out.
It's sad that people (like younger me) didn't realize it was a new console, and that 3rd parties didn't make a good use of the gamepad (except for a few); it was a waste of potential in my opinion and what made the console "flop".
Also R.I.P. Miiverse, I never had the chance to trying it
Concordo
im late but if u mod the wii u you can see old miiverse posts by usuing WaraWara's plaza
I agree it’s good in 2021
@@michaelmoss9198 Yeah, the Nintendo Switch has been around since 2017 and the Wii U has gotten a bit out of hand, as it did have some issues and the Nintendo Switch sold more than 89 million units around the globe.
I grew up with this i loved the wiiu it never got old
The Wii u is a great console!
Excellent! You're actually showing that is a new console with a new library of games, and showing off all of the new features. Now make a shorter version, put it on TV, and the Wii U will sell like hot cakes.
Finally telling people this isn't an add-on to the Wii.
Why was this recommended to me a day after the first Switch 2 video was released
It's a nice ad, but a video like this should've been out a year ago. :/
The best Wii-U ad of this year. Keep it up, Nintendo. Makes me want to get a Wii-U some day. The off-TV play won me over.
I still play the Wii U daily. It never gets old.
kudos Nintendo!
Your FINALLY promoting your new hardware THE RIGHT WAY!!
Problem is, exactly how many people will see this anyway? Is this on TV?
Finally a decent commercial. I have the console and love it, but I'm a dedicated fan. You can't expect much from other "floating" consumers. If they had something like this at launch, on tv, the console would be everywhere right now.
