Times "New Controller" was said: 12
Times "New Console" was said: 0

It looks like a trailer for the controler, not for a console.
I'm not suprised that many people thought this is just accessory for old Wii.

[humanshrek]

It’s pretty obvious Nintendo didn’t even know how to advertise it

[dartheleven]

"SWITCH to a new controller."

I see what you did there, Nintendo.

[callofmik]

If only they had said “new console” once...

[envytee]

The fact that they keep saying "New Controller" is exactly why everyone thought the Wii U was just a new add-on for the Wii.

[Dinossarro]

They kept repeating "NEW CONTROLLER" like...are they dumb?

[katalbinson]

This isn’t bad marketing, this is horrible marketing. “New Controller”

[gorongamer]

-New controller
-showed off games that were on the Wii
-had Wii in the title

No wonder everyone was confused.

[oscarzxn]

The video has more views than Wii U consoles were sold.

[EricksonGaming]

I have done almost none of the activities shown here with the Gamepad in my four years of owning the system

[Ricky]

Did we mention this controller is new?

[justandresx]

Funny how the first word in this trailer is Switch.

[funkytownmonkeypimps]

9 years later and I'm still salty about that Zelda tech demo.

[alexptjp]

Amazing how a simple ‘2’ instead of a “U” could have had a major impact on the console’s sales.
Wii 2 > Wii U

[ianfink]

I love how all these features I've never seen been used

[NarutoUzumaki-crbu]

The Wii U didn’t fail Nintendo, Nintendo failed the Wii U.

[smithychris]

Who's here after the Switch 2 trailer?

[drpinguino]

I love how half of the functionalities they show here weren't even there on the final product
