Barudak posted:Mario Kart 7 was promoted with a tire manufacturer cross over where if you bought like an $800+ dollar set of new tires they threw in a Wii and Mario Kart. You forget that the ad had Kevin Butler in it when he was the "mascot" of the PS3 so there was a shitstorm in a teacup about betrayal.

I was considering getting a Wii U because someone nearby is selling one that was used for a month for about $200 with New Super Mario+Luigi and Wii Party which seems alright. But now I'm regretting saying I would be interested after looking at a list of good Wii U games which boils down to: Super Mario 3D World Maybe a DK Platformer? I'm not going to play a DK platformer. And then a lot of "But Mario Kart! But Bayonetta 2! Smash Bros!" Which all could still be bad Edit: What the gently caress is Wii U Party. That's not a real game but that's what the guy told me it was. THE AWESOME GHOST fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Mar 4, 2014 |

As dreadful as these are, they were originally printed in Viz, a magazine whose whole raison d'etre was unfunny rude jokes. So they were at least appropriate to the audience (Unlike most Nintendo ads).

Having trouble telling which partnership is dumber - Pennzoil or Connect Freaking Four. I hope Nintendo didn't spend too many marketing dollars on these campaigns, because yeesh!! Zelda and Pokemon Monopoly are also on the way, but not until September.

Oh no poo poo? Ya think? Point is that they're not exactly putting their brand on products that have a whole lot of recognition and should expand a bit since Nintendo is horrible at marketing. I bet they can't do anything with Lego now that they're with K'nex, or maybe Lego has some sort of deal that if you sign it they can make a video game too? Who knows.

Brawl wasn't exactly good. It had non-functional online multiplayer, an incredibly tedious method of unlocking characters, and a mechanic which made the thing feel like mario party which is not a good thing. It also by default got stuck with the hot garbage that is the WiiMote held sideways so we had to have 4 gamecube controllers just to play which led us to ponder "why exactly aren't we still just playing Melee?".

None of that stopped the game from selling shitloads. For a Smash Bros game to be "bad" they'd have to phenomenally gently caress up. Also not everyone cared about the "mario party" aspect, not everyone is playing in EVO.

It's pretty much exactly like the Wii Version, but with a couple dozen or so 3 vs 1 games with the Game Pad which are unique. And if you don't like those games you listed, don't get a Wii U.

I have no doubt in my mind a new Smash Brothers will sell well but as to whether or not its a good game that convinces people on the fence to buy remains to be seen and the previous entry bodes ill. I wasn't playing in EVO nor were any of my dozen friends swapping controllers playing Brawl. Its fine to lose because your skills aren't there and its ok to lose because the item drops didn't favor you; its not ok to lose because a random slot went off and said "you can no longer control your character."

When I was a kid I liked buying spaghetti os with cartoon characters I knew on them, licensing Mario on to soup cans makes plenty of sense to me. Edit: No meaningful number of people will avoid buying the new Smash because of tripping in Brawl. They'll avoid buying it because it's a WiiU game.
