Watch Wii U's First TV Commericial... And Snicker

Random clip of brad Pitt at the start but very ah "interesting" commercial I've never known ninja stars to make that noise. Sping sping sping

Not sure if directed at children or just British people.

If they wanted to make me run out and get a Wii U, they have failed with such epicness that epic fails to descirbe the epicness in which they failed. They should bring the creepy japanese guys that invaded people's homes with the Wii. I still wouldn't buy one, but it'd less cheesy than that.

Alright, I've been a follower of this site since I was in elementary school over a decade ago and I can't take this anymore. How biased can you be? Its a single commercial for Nintendo's new console and all I see is negativity on this site from both the writers and the followers. Is it possible to write a single article remotely associated with the Wii U without taking a jab at it or Nintendo?

Groan all you want about the Wii and Nintendo's use of it, it made money and revolutionized the industry enough for EVERYBODY to try and copy their motion controls. Dan wrote a single positive article on the Wii U and people in the comments have the audacity to accuse him of being paid to write it.

What happened to being excited about a new product? Has everybody here really gotten to be this jaded? Before I'm accused of fanboyism, I own all 3 and I couldn't care less about whos winning the, "console war," but don't bash a company for trying something new to entertain us.

Fanbois are cute.

The only reason the Wii U is getting as much hate is because its a shitty next-gen console. The next Xbox will get the same ****ing **** when we all find out it uses windows 8 etc... Then we will all ****ing hate the next Playstation when we find out it has magic glowing ***** controllers. Get over it. Ohh and I have all the consoles too, except I ****ing hate them all.

GR is just honest like everyone is saying. The Wii didn't revolutionize anything, it just created an overused under developed motion control device. In fact, Razer has made the best motion control device and that's on a freaking PC. 80% of people I talk to aren't excited about the WiiU and/or are going to wait 1-2 years or more before buying one. I just had a friend buy a Wii for the first time yesterday because he was waiting to see how it did, pretty much failed software wise like the GameCube. A handful of super solid games and that's about it.

(forgot to add this) It's just facts dude, facts are facts and some times they sting.

This commercial has convinced me to never touch a Wii U. Also, I want to see the full Brad Pitt commercial. I'm interested to see what they got him selling.

I find the criticism of proof-reading and the proof-reading mistake in the first paragraph lulzy

Snicker. That girlfriend was truly hot.

Gotta love the sound effects. "spew spew spew"

Well, to be fair, it did push a lot of info. That said, it does seem pretty low-rent. Maybe it's an "across the pond" thing we yanks don't get.

"You would think they would proofread some of the words that were flung across the screen....and the sound effects accompanying the ninja star make me want me to fling"

Yep...

HA HA, Brits suck.

Bring back those Japanese dudes and have them say, "Wii would like to play...






... with u".

Oh, and... um... RULE BRITANNIA!

The ad is light-hearted and silly, but it's not really THAT bad.

The commercial would have been better, if they just showing off MORE of the launch titles for the Wii-U, and done way less of the comedy. That would get people interested in the software they can buy for the console at, or shortly after, launch.
