Rufus Hound Explains the Nintendo Wii U Difference in UK Campain

That line about the great games not necessarily requiring a Wii U GamePad somewhat reminds me of the shift they did with the 3DS marketing. 3D was pushed to the side in favour of games and I think it would be a good idea to do this with the Wii U GamePad as well. No matter how well the GamePad is utilised, in the end it's all about the games...as it's been since ages.

The menu of a generic RPG was the highlight for me, though! Brilliant.

Did Nintendo commission this? It's pretty good if so, or at least explains the console better than past ads had. I hope it gets exposure.

Yes, it is an official video.

I've seen other videos like this with different celebrities. Unless you go to one of Nintendo's YouTube pages you usually don't see them though.

This video was pretty simple, yet very effective.

Shame :/ it's pretty much useless if it's not on TV, only Nintendo fans visit Nintendo's YouTube page.

Exactly...just like the world misses out on Nintendo Direct's as well...but at least that is better than nothing and notable things get picked up in the press as well i guess.

It's Lego City Undercover from the looks of it.

That's a bit shit, although I suppose it's quite informative.

Lmao, GTA.

I don't get it. Instead of having a menu on screen, I have a menu on my controller? Did they just explain how the other consoles work, then neglect to show how their own console works? JRPGs and many other games are still going to need to use menus.

Its like this... a shopping list is a list because the best way to list things is in a list. A menu is a menu because the best way to list options is in a list, which is to say, a menu is a list of options. Listed.

Writing English left to right is OK, but writing English right to left is the flaming bacon cherry of 21st Century interface design.
