"Look for the 'U' on the box."
That is some quality comedy.
Yea
They should of said "Just look for yourself on the box"
Chris Ray Gun I want to have your subscriber count.
Imagine sony saying just look for the 4 on the box
2:00
I love how they say just look for the "u" on the box because so many adults think the Wii u is the same thing as the Wii XD
Lmao! So true!
Videogamer23123 thank you, someone who understands what children we going through. I am going to show this advert to my parent.
@@quavers6850 that's not a problem of your children, that's just bad advertising who besides this video didn't specify that it's a new console and it has the same name
......which is exactly why the Wii U failed.
@@tmcttf8087 yup. It was severely underrated tho and had a lot of solid titles.
it is literally the ancestor of the switch. First time being able to have a 2 in 1 function when playing games. Truly underrated. The fact you can look at two screens is just amazing.
The 2 screen concept existed since the DS.
@@ptanker9236 he doesn't means 2 screen he means a portable screen and a TV screen
It's not even similar
But the switch when docked goes black lol
The Wii U was and still is one of my favorite consoles, it holds so many good memories and games. I could never imagine my childhood being the same without the Wii U.
Same
I’m glad you didn’t miss the U on the box!
@@ilbroducciore I didn't 😂
Why is this in my recommendations 6 years later?
In mine too
New too
Same
I also me yesterday day
The nature of youtube
"Just look for the U on the box". You know it's bad when even Nintendo admits they've made a poor branding choice XD
I don't see what you mean; Nintendo don't seem to be admitting anything, they are just dealing with people's apparent ignorance over the console.
*****
Naming consoles "wrong" is infinitely more defendable than the highly anti-consumer DRM MS were, and supposedly still are, trying to force into the Xbone, yet people happily defend MS anyway.
@@EuroMIX2 that's clearly an error, if people can't distinguish between this and a previous product, then it's a marketing error.
In fact until recently I thought Wii u was just a different iteration to the the Wii, kinda like ps4 pro and PS4.
@@bern9642 When I saw it the first time, I thought it was a handeld version of the Wii
Where is the part where they look of the u i dont see it

Just bought the Wii U, and I'm very happy with it. The long wait for over a year has certainly been worth it. I even had an error code with the system update, and I called Nintendo, which then they actually fixed the problem, making my update perform successfully! Can't thank them enough for their kindness. :)

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 35 n jus today heard of the Wii u ( had known of the Wii ) for first time n decided to see what it was n what was different from Wii to Wii u . I grew up with PlayStation n PS2. I remember the Wii coming out.
I got mine christmas 2015
This was a great console to have. It was very fun and unique. Too bad Nintendo had literally no idea how to market it.
Yeah just look at this video, it's bad
This is perfect. Now show this everywhere.
Lol XD agreed
Does anyone else get the feeling Reggie wrote this!? I swear I've heard him say these two lines a thousand times in the past - 'Wii U is the only place you can play all your favourite Nintendo series' and 'Wii U is all about unique experiences you can't have anywhere else'
@Zack C Yep.
Ok
And to this day, I’m still a Wii U owner.
Same, and I freaking love it! :D
@@jumentoqueanima that’s the spirit
same dude
Same, I lost a single cord for it and I have a Wii but it’s the cord that is different from it so I can’t use it.
Same here I love it cause of Mario Kart 8
Best system ever , still playing this every day today
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)
The sad fact that in the end the Wii U was a huge commercial failure.
It was not a failure!
I just bought a Wii u In Saturday But Miiverse ended in 2020 so I can’t use my stamps to post I super mario 3d world
DuckOfTheStarz November 2017 iirc
Why did it fail?
@@Beeman2892 commercials sucked so hard noone buyed it, and the console was overpriced with bad specs, even ps3 and xbox360 had better specs
For all those of you complaining that Mario games are for kids, I'm 20 and my husband is 24. We both love our Wii U and love our Mario Bros. games. We also love Pokemon, Call of Duty, Metroid, Smash Bros, Darksiders, and The Legend of Zelda. I just want to point out that there's not an age limit on fun. Do what you enjoy. What other people think just does not matter.
Did you get the New switch
Mariokart 8 deluxe and Mario Odyssey are awesome. And don't forget Zelda breath of the wild
Also I think Mario is awesome, Even though all my friends say Nintendo's for kids. PlayStation's not my type plus I grew up playing Mario kart Wii on my best friends Wii. So yeah I agree with you
@@E.h.a.n PlayStation is a low-effort overrated console
@@MiScusi69
Even though I don't exactly hate the play-station. I can say that it's a *bit* overrated. Like, if I say that I like *any other console* rather than the play-station..
*It's game over*
@@MiScusi69 how is it low effort? It prouduces great games just like the switch im not mad or anything i just want an answer (sorry for my bad english)
“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 miss the old days when people loved me
Now i fell bad
Nah, my first console was this so for me it's the best!
Still love you my old friend, ur prolly still my fav console
You are the best, believe me :)
I still love you
Okay, this video is WAY better than any of the commercials Nintendo has released so far...Too bad it is too long for TV...
Nothing is "too long" for TV. I've seen commercials that last the entire commercial break.
TheSkullKid56 If we share this video all over the internet to everyone lots of people will know about the system!
Jesse Villasenor Here you go! BRADLEY
***** well, normally you don't see commercials that are 2 minutes long.
TheSkullKid56 Yeah! That Wii Sports Resort commercial was pretty long!
This definitely should have been the advertising used during launch here in the U.S. This needs to be on TV all over the place.
True
@@ianeons9278 did you see it yet
@@ErenTheWarcriminal
Yes. Why?
Best system ever ! I’m still playing this now!
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.
"Wii U is an entirely new technology, a true successor to Wii." About time Nintendo mentioned that! Now we can only hope they put that on TV.
"An exclusive library of games"
* Is currently showing the wind waker *
In the technical sense, Wind Waker HD would still be considered an exclusive to the Wii U.
also the switch has most of the games on wii u on the switch
What's a Gamecube?
@Ean Elijah De Guzman I was just kidding dude. I don't remember why I wrote that though...
@@tinytruly wow, switch is so great it barely has original games!

0:38 - Looks like someone forgot to laugh when the director said action.
Ankit Mn no they were just disappointed to even be there they knew the Wii U sucked
I thought she was looking at the t.v. then laughed at the girl playing cause she sucked
And Will Byers...
@@elkitsu the wii u didnt suck it just had crap advertising
the face of the kid be like: "what are you doing, step-mom?!"
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.
Underrated console
2:00 "Just look for the U on the box." How obvious can they get. lol
I guess they wanted a slogan that had the potential to get people keeping an eye out for their brand :p I agree though, it seems a bit obvious.
Is it me, or is Nintendo ACTUALLY trying to take action in promoting the Wii U to boost the sales and try convince others that the Wii U is something new and not an add-on to the Wii?
Nintendo really should've called it something else in my opinion.
Wii - Pro? Wii - HD? it plays all wii games unlike the switch.
I know this comment is 5 years old, this caused the Wii U to sell much more units. It just sucks that it was a little to late to get it rolling more.
Rose Supreme yeah. They should have gone with the Nintendo Revolution name (prototype name for the Wii). After all, the Wii U is a great change. In terms of the excellent games, the Wii U Gamepad, and its number of sales!
Sadorath Wii 2
WiiManElite why would nintendo want their controller working on other platforms
Thanks, CZcams, for recommending me this video after 7 years
This console is honestly good I’m just sad most people thought it was an add on to the Wii
Where are the “Watching in 2020” comments?

“Wii U is an entirely new technology and true successor to Wii.”
Nintendo Switch: Hold My Joy-Cons
Ok? That’s usually with most new things.
Well the gamepad was new technology while the Switch is just 2015 tech
At least wii motes dont drift and actually fit on your hand
Wii 100m sold Wii U sold 20m
*joy-cons start to drift*
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.
yeah the Wii U and 3ds were sooooooooo much better than the switch
People are just dumb when they say the Wii U sucked they are just spoiled lol I loved it
And then a year later, Nintendo buried the Wii U in the grave. Must've made you downhearted
@@catguy4996 Yeah...
theres my childhood thats discontinued
Nintendo always is the best when it comes to playing with ur friends
Damn right!
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.
True
Just remember to make sure that U is on the box or you could be buying yourself another Wii by mistake!
I love how this is the first recommendation on a random day in 2022, I love the Wii U and always will
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
I still like the Wii U.

I still play the Wii U daily. It never gets old.
The sad fact that most people at the time thought this was an add on for the Wii, when I was younger and first saw this commercial, I actually knew that this was a separate console despite never owning it.
Where was this ad a year ago?
hahaha everybody is asking the same question, me included! i hope it has a positive impact... better late than never huh?

This is way better then the kid commercials
1:39 idk why but the cut scream was so hilarious lmao
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.
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.
Yoshi's VGM well...
I hate all the people who hate on this console. I love the Wii U so much.
I remember unboxing my Nintendo Wii U and getting ready to play New Super Mario Bros U! I was 6 years old at the time!
Let's get more commercials like these and things might improve!
EposVox LOL!!!
tfw when they never did
5 years later
They did not
Switch:we released moar commercials
xD
This may very well be the best commercial for the Wii U. Well done and may help sell systems to people unsure if just what the wii U is.
This isn't a commercial. I wish it was though. Many parents don't go on CZcams.
Well show it to them lol.
Bruh
The best Wii u commercial still wasn't good and not nearly enough to make it a success
Well this aged 16 years in 8.
1:34 I love how the grandma is using the game pad for a cooking video
My grandma couldn’t even program the toaster to make toast without burning the house down XD
Una de las mejores consolas de Nintendo, tristemente no tuvo éxito pero sin ella no tendríamos la switch, por eso siempre tengo un lugar en mi corazón para la Wii U
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.
I Think It's A Mix Of Hardcore And Casual
1:56 This sounds just like an as seen on TV ad.
I absolutely love my Wii U, it's sad that it flopped hard
Tbh the Wiiu was pretty advanced for its time
They should have called it the Nintendo Revolution. I was so pumped for that console. Until it became the Wii.
they’d call it revolutiion
@@qpol revolution U
It didn’t become the wii it became much better
Wii U rising from the dead through CZcams Reccomendations 😂
The Wii U really wasn't that bad, the marketing on the other hand, was. People thought it was an addition to their already perfectly fine Wii's at home. The Wii U was a marketing nightmare simply because the name alone. Lmao, I love mine though.
So much memories 🥺
1:44 “I have around 400 hundred lives” lol
I have around 👑👑👑 lives
Yh me too
Finally, an ad that explains what the Wii U really is and why it is unique. Where was this commercial when Wii U launched?
And no one ever thought the Wii U was any good yet I still bought one and I'm still a diehard fan.
IAM SO EXITED FOR THE WII U TO COME OUT!!
Nintendo.... This video is incredible. THIS needs to be on TV. Even if you need to slice it into parts. Make it happen. Please!
finally a Wii U commercial that actually states its not just a Wii add on
8 years. wow
It always cracks me up when I think about the Wii U cause it got discounted before the switch even came out
Idc what y’all say, Wii U is the the best console of all time and it deserves better than what it got.
I agree!
This is good because it shows people it's a new console and it shows all the console's features lol.
Now they actually have to advertise it, lol
I think Nintendo PROBABLY could have put this out a little earlier, but it's also about time. Good work #wiiU
Nintendo is the only console manufacturer who has been profitable every year for the last two decades, so I'd sayif anyone can pull it off it's them.
Peter Coffin except for the part where they lost like 70 % of their value of stock in 2009,
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.
***** Okay. Only one that has been profitable all of the last 10 years.
#badmarketing
One of the best console that i ever have really like this console 🙌🏻
It may have failed but I fricken love this system. There's a charm to it and I adore it.
There is and its safe to say those of us that still have one baby it
I love how much they have to verbally stress the fact that this is a new console, because it's not self explanatory enough all by itself.
I can't wait for the Wii U to come out.
My fav console, freaking love it.
Have you heard about the new Nintendo NX?
@@forhisneutralspecialhewiel2295 I heard it’s gonna be in vr
Omg this thing was my entire childhood ( super Mario 3D world in particular )
I actually got one of these right before the switch came out without knowing that the switch was soon to come 😂 but I loved it and I just got a switch OLED and love it too!
Finally! Now put it on TV and in movie theater commercials!
This needs to be shown on TV & in Theatres... it gets across the console much better than other adds have.
A Wii U trailer was shown in a cinema I went to in 2013. That’s what made my mom get it for me since my birthday was coming up.
I love how they had to say multiple times that it ISNT an accessory for the wii, and that it IS ITS OWN THING
I swear they could’ve called it the wii 2 or something
@@SMGAnimations Amen to that brother🤝
The Wii U walked so the Switch could run.
I actually became upset when I got a game that couldn't be played with just the Gamepad.
Four days before Xmas, some parent out there is watching this, going "Well fu--"
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
underrated console, I still play it a lot!! mainly mario galaxy 2 which sadly is not on switch yet
watching this in quarantine hits different

Thank you youtube i needed that.
I love the wii u have on my self and also love Nintendo but this is old but still love ❤️ it ❤
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!
