Nintendo airs first Wii U commercial on national TV

4.8

The 60-second TV spot lists a number of new features that the Wii U offers with an extremely chipper British voice over in the style of an infomercial.
The ad doesn't look like it was made with a big budget, in fact it looks more like a fan-made commercial put up on YouTube. The commercial is strange and will have you raising your eyebrows when you watch it, but it works. It highlights what the Wii U does differently to other consoles, shows off the main launch titles and most importantly it's fun.

I saw the commercial and the Wii U looks alright. I don't think I will get it though.

The commercial is actually rather good, the editing works well and explains a lot of key features.
I like the fact that you can switch from using both the controller and TV to play the game, to only the controller itself (20 seconds in).

That being said, I think that I will stick to the Xbox, I do have a Nintendo Wii, but the novelty did wear off, and personally from what I have heard about the Wii U, it seems like a lot more effort.
