Nintendo Decided to Make WiiU Look Appealing for First U.S. Commercial
Since I gave Nintendo such grief for their less-than-impressive first WiiU commercial in the U.K., I figured it was only fair to congratulate them for having their first U.S. WiiU commercial not be terrible. Sure, it’s heavy on the dubstep, but look at all the people who are enjoying the WiiU! Families! Kids! Girls! Couples! Non-white people! Truly, it is the videogame console of the masses, who don’t mind holding a giant tablet while they’re playing. Or who live in small cubes. One of the two. (Via Kotaku)
