If Nintendo was to be given a grade for the marketing of the Wii U it would be a resounding F. At first, I was very denying of this fact. I would just brush it off and say, hey, everyone knows the Wii U is a Nintendo’s newest system, not an add on. I mean, how can you not see that? Maybe it was because, well, I am a gamer and have owned all of Nintendo’s previous consoles. I was a part of what is called the core. As a Marketing major in college, back many years ago, one of Marketing 101 lessons is you put your Marketing efforts towards the 80% rather than the 20%. The 20% is the core, they already know your product, no need to preach to the choir. You need that 80% that don’t know what your product is. I took all of the negative talks about the Wii U as typical Nintendo hating. But when stories of Wii owners and first time buyers being confused about what exactly the Wii U was and stories of close friends and family choosing not to buy a Wii U because, well, they didn’t see a reason to buy the Wii U when they already owned an iPad and a Wii. Now, as a gamer, this is just ridiculous to me, but stepping back, yeah the Wii U sure does resemble that doesn’t it? So, when this image and story popped up I was just in awe and at the same time shaking my head saying wow!

This is a  new message to Wii owners. It’s titled, “Time to Discover Wii U”. The message was to let them know, hey the Wii U, yeah, it’s “the all new home console from Nintendo…not an upgrade…”

Time to Discover Wii U? Is this 6 months too late?

Now Nintendo’s Global President Satoru Iwata has already stated and owned up to the fact that the marketing of the Wii U, well, it might have not been done in the best way.

“Some have the misunderstanding that Wii U is just Wii with a pad for games, and others even consider Wii U GamePad as a peripheral device connectable to Wii,” … “We feel deeply responsible for not having tried hard enough to have consumers understand the product.”

Will this almost drastic effort be what’s needed to really spark that fire to get the Wii U sales going? You know, the first step of over coming your problem, is admitting you have a problem. If Nintendo needs to do this to get those sales going, then please, by all means do it! It’s sad that Nintendo has to do this, but again, please do it!

Oh, and give us some games, PLEASE!

Only time will tell.

Chapter 2 of Survival School is now in session! Study up, there will be a test.

Deep Silver opened the next chapter in the Ranger Survival Guide for Metro: Last Light. The second video in a series of three, “Enemy Danger” prepares the player against the hostile inhabitants of the Metro, both human and mutant. While deadly creatures control the desolate Moscow wastelands, the human survivors, having splintered into extremist factions, gangs of bandits, and the order of Rangers, try to maintain a hold on the tunnels of the Metro. To stand up to them, the player has the choice: will he try to sneak past the threats, save their lives and rare ammunition, or will he seek direct face-off to wipe them out once for all. Both ways carry risks and every action has consequences within the tunnels of the Metro.

The game will be available from May 14, 2013 in North America and May 17, 2013 across Europe for PlayStation®3, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC.
