Thank god they learned from the Wii U. The reveal of the Nintendo Switch is miles better then this.

[@waywardlaser]

DrScaphandre Definitely. The three minutes they took to introduce the Switch illustrated exactly what the console was.

[@DrAnimePhD]

not you Not to mention the Switch ditches all the stupid gimmicks of the Wii and Wii U. The design changes everything. The power of consoles like the Xbox One, on the go. Big games, like Skyrim, in a nice comfy tablet. That alone is causing a lot of Xbone and PS4 users making a switch. The custom made Nvidia Tegra allows it to keep up with this generation, and it's ability to take it on the go also changes the handhelds. This console is a gamechanger.

I think Nintendo assumed that because the Wii U has off tv ability, people would see it as a new console because the original wii couldn't do that. But saying "new controller" and not even mentioning "new console" is very idotic. Instead they should have referred to it as "the gamepad controller for the new console". Now THAT would worked perfectly.

[@geminisfl]

They didn't even show the "new console". And all the games shown (except for the Zelda one) looked like they were Wii games. There was no way of asuming it was a new console, neither from the messages on screen or the game's footage. So sad :(

Sir SpeedyCat That's not really my problem with it. My problem with it is that these features of the gamepad that they are pushing in this trailer are neraly useless and are just gimmicks. Do you really need to show that cute parrot video to your relatives? Do you really want to play that black-white puck thingy on it? Do you really want to browse the internet on it? Do you really want to make video calls with it when you have skype, discord, mumble and whatnot, you know, the applications you can use WHILE playing? The answer to all of this is no.

Today online servers for Wii U are ending. It's been fun, thanks for mario kart 8 and splatoon. -Ninja

[@absolute3486]

Actual views = Numbers of Wii U sold worldwide lol

[@erleshabk]

[@MrPenguinPantsMPP]

BACK IN 2011 I THOUGHT IT WAS: Portable New controller Basically a ds with one screen. Take it anywhere. Controller was the console. Wow I was all wrong.

[@whiteknight5100]

You can take it anywhere, as long as you have the control deck plugged in close to it.

[@MrPenguinPantsMPP]

+White Knight 5 I meant a portable controller. Sorry!

[@superfragert7455]

That's the NX lol.

[@lynsieszalecki4318]

I'm gonna come back here once the nx is shown and see how close you were to guessing the nx lol

[@masteroogway3816]

+White Knight 5 hi

[@kai7473]

It's amazing how bad this is in comparison to the Switch trailer

[@80sForever29]

Not to mention Karen

[@8-bitjimi31]

U SAID NINTENDO SWITCH THAT MEANS SOMETHING EXCITING IS HAPPENING... OH WAIT ITS JUST WIIU TRAILER

[@MaxMax-gl7ii]

Kai I know right

[@patrickmacready1779]

RIIIIIIIIIIIII

[@ari-mariberry]

all wii u trailers and commercials were horrible, glad nintendo stepped up their game with switch marketing

[@dr4876]

I love how 40% of these features didn't even make it into the console

[@jack-sm7jy]

*90

[@lol-rw5jt]

I'm sure they did, it's just that no one ever used them or played the games or apps that used them

[@toddminnix8821]

Including the Wii U Zapper

[@rustamtalibzade6989]

Nice trailer of the New Controller! So, when are you going to show us the new Game Console?

[@m0kkori]

When I first saw this I thought this was a handheld Wii

[@Unkown-il9oz]

I thought it was a accessory to the Wii

[@thebestworst8002]

Everyone did

[@Unkown-il9oz]

Yup

[@dr4876]

It's a handheld Wii for a radius of 5 metres

[@wiktordykas5513]

Technically the wii is handheld but it doesn't have a screen

[@Jaekization]

Guys. The Wii U is not a bad console at all. It is actually much better then the xbox One and PS4. It has more exclusives and better games on it then just Halo and COD and GTA ... Obviously it is not as powerful as either of those however, look at all the games that have been released and will be released on it. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, The Wonderful 101, Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3 and then SSB4, both the Zelda Wiii U and Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon, Bayonetta 2, Mario Maker. These are all promising titles with different varieties of gameplay. What do you get on xbox and PS4? 1st person shooter after 1st person shooter. (obviously slight exaggeration and there are some good games on both of those consoles, but no where near as many on the Wii U). So stop bashing the Wii U because it's getting all the games you want.

[@BlazeTaleo]

Okay I managed to read every single one of these comments, this is going nowhere. When a person leaves the argument another takes their place, just as angry as the last these wii u fanboys are seriously annoying, it is a flawed system. I don't want to see it fail but it IS failing, which system is better is subjective. Now there were also people arguing mute points against the wii u, it being childish or every game being a remake Being the main 2. For the childish argument, the wii u is trying to be a family system, something that sits in the living room, that's why because they want younger people to be able to play on it. About everything being a remake, this is pretty much true and is one of the faults (a big one) but they do kept things fresh (for the most part.) Also about people insulting Destiny, the recent dlc have been MAJOR improvements and have really shown the potential of the game. I want wii u to succeed, but I don't think it will. Side note: saying xbone just makes you look more like a fanboy also stop labeling everyone with an (even if strong and hostile) opinion as a troll

[@BlazeTaleo]

I said that they keep fresh I meant they change it up but keep the same characters

[@BlazeTaleo]

Also cod, halo, blood borne, and gta aren't the only games on Xbox and ps4, Assassins creed, batman, the last of us, bioshock are some of these

[@BlazeTaleo]

Well it seems we can't agree ;)

[@brienneofturd3765]

Smash1123 I have ps4 it's the worth double the money it has better graphics than xbox one and the indies on it are amazing i know pc is better in every aspect but if you're a only console guy who really wants to play indies ps4 is your machine boy

[@freshbap7436]

Ive just been recommended this 9 years later anyone else?

[@imarg1128]

POV : the viewers number of this video is actually all the owner of the Wii U :)

[@erleshabk]

even more

[@PracarYT]

Ironically views on this are more than wii u ever existed

[@ninjaydes]

Gee... I initially thought the Wii U was a Wii add-on _and_ portable because Nintendo kept advertising "off TV play" for the "new controller." *All hail the superior Switch advertising~!!* :'D

[@madmidget1238]

lol it never says "console" or "system" all it says is "the new controller"

[@danadarazi406]

My favorite console😊😊😊😊😊

[@ReddAnimations]

2018 = Go get a switch.

[@cyro2536]

ninjaydes nah don’t get it it trash

[@cyro2536]

I mean the switch

[@DoNotPassGO]

0:27 - Oh, the irony.

[@JoeMemes]

3:08 Who else read that as "Coming to your living room in 2022"? 🤣

[@XurRR72]

1:08 what are those mii models 😭

[@teamehpchannel9614]

3:12 big mistake not showing the console with the gamepad

[@sudd32x14]

I agree I want to punch the guy who made this trailer

[@ItsFerdiNah]

@@sudd32x14 was made by NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zeesproductions1834]

Irk

[@Tampajoe77]

reminds me of when I tried to buy the "Wii U Controller" at walmart a few years back..

[@MrUltimateEgg]

Lol

[@dr.papaphilips3526]

lmao!.

[@ReineDeLaSeine14]

Which is pretty much what everyone thought the Wii U was

[@swagmario3731]

hahahah lol

[@JyuzouNT]

No wonder it failed; the first sentence was "switch from TV to the new controller". So much potential down the drain... They should revisit the concept in their next console.

[@DaSchantinga]

The first word in the new sentence included a massive hint towards the Wii U‘s successor haha

[@liftsurfer52]

This Wii U commercial is mostly just the 3 words “The New Controller” 💀

[@RarelyEatLollipops]

Why are you mad?

[@AYMANOS.]

is this a new controller for the wii ?

[@BeachBaller]

AymanoS hahahaha

[@zerwee7409]

1. It’s not new AT ALL 2. It’s a console my dude.

[@seymourkrelborn4780]

AYMANOS No, it's the Wii 2, that has its own controller

[@merxofficial1756]

r/wooosh

[@Rickybueno26]

The Great Papyrus r/whoooosh

[@ElliottBros1]

Still waiting for that Wii U Zapper!

[@Phoenix-Wright]

Same here.

[@MooseKINGstudios]

Bro! I'm still waiting on friends to FaceTime

[@RaikenXion]

+ElliottBros1 Most of those things got dropped from Wii U when it came out.

[@thecrazybonesanimator4143]

+ElliottBros1 they plan to pack it in with a game called shoot mii

[@candlelightcookie]

+MarutoFighter The FaceTime exists, it's WiiU chat.

[@thepolice4063]

This isn’t bad marketing. It’s actually great marketing for the ‘new controller’.

[@Leo-ql4on]

Everyone's right. They acted like the Wii u was the game pad not an actual console, if they said new console once it's fate would be so different

[@shorolay]

I'm watching this in July 2016 and now I understand why the Wii U gone wrong

[@MrPenguinPantsMPP]

Yeah.

[@Amiiboy266]

They only advertised the controller! People thought it was a controller damn lol

[@wiiknight678]

+Ali Mohammad (Cobberman games) it also didn't help that the games look similar to there predicecors on the Wii

[@Amiiboy266]

You are absolutely right! Another good point

[@zeppinator7725]

still better than the xbox one

[@omarpixel9176]

"New Controller" and this, ladies and gentlemen, is what ruined it all.

[@swagmario3731]

The Pixel Addict its like they werent even trying with the wii u

[@Sebas_Jval]

The Pixel Addict xd

[@hoppie4263]

Nintendo should have sed new console not controller

[@noureldinsakr9869]

Fun fact : the number of views equal the number of sold wii u consoles

[@Happydodat]

Lmao true😂

[@Korbloxiangames]

Everyone that saw this has a Wii u

[@JesusRodriguez-tf6bl]

In the future,we have this console called the switch,save some money and you’ll see why,

[@runilwazlib]

They kept saying "New Controller", if i never knew about the Wii U and i saw this trailer I would've thought this was legitimately a new controller for the Wii.

[@prozeropokemongo6573]

This video nearly got the same amount of views as the Wii us sale units

[@blake1053]

Take a shot every time it says “The New Controller”

[@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985]

Fun fact This video has more views that Wii u sold
