I think it would be appropriate to add the Wii U's marketing campaign to this list of horrible advertising. Not only did it poorly show what the system was capable of but it was also potentially confusing since it focused on the GamePad so much and left the console out of focus, leading to false assumptions that the Wii U was just an expensive add-on for the original Wii. The logo having similar music and animation didn't help the confusion.

Also, it doesn't help the TV ads have actors being given some cringe-worthy dialogue and direction, the fact that Nintendo didn't even try to consistently market the system on TV that much and eventually taking their advertising to the internet via Nintendo Directs, where for the remainder of the Wii U's existence has lead to the system's low lifetime sales and eventual discontinuation in 2017.
