I have both seen and lived in worse.
With only sixteen days to go until the release of the Wii U in North America, Nintendo has finally decided now is the time to kick the advertising campaign for the system’s launch into high gear. And it looks like the Big N believes in the power of dubstep to sell consoles if what they have termed their “Wii U Advertising Campaign Launch Video” is anything to judge by. Well that and people hanging out in spaces that seem like a demented children’s toy/board game come to life. Also released were details from Nintendo on what exactly the promised Deluxe Digital Promotion meant to accompany the purchase of the premium 32 GB black version of the Wii U will entail. Check out these details and the video below to see what I mean and judge for yourselves.
Received codes must be exchanged for Nintendo eShop credit on Wii U or Nintendo 3DS by June 30, 2015. Nintendo eShop credit on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS does not expire. Qualifying Nintendo eShop purchases in the Deluxe Digital Promotion include games and content published by Nintendo as well as games from third-party publishers. Digital content purchases from the Wii Shop Channel are not eligible for Deluxe Digital Promotion points. Purchases from the Nintendo eShop via Nintendo 3DS hand-held and Wii U Basic Set systems are also ineligible.
Guess that ad gives new meaning to the term *pauses for effect* game-cubes. *proudly bows as the audience boos and begins to throw things at the stage* The really sad thing? Those game-cubes are leaps and bounds better than my first apartment. Now there was the stuff of nightmares. Moving on, the details of the Deluxe Digital Promotion make it clearer than ever that a. the Nintendo Wii U Deluxe model is clearly being targeted at the hardcore gamer and b. that Nintendo is dead serious about supporting and pushing digital sales of games, not just eShop originals but full retail releases as well, going forward. Stay tuned to Blistered Thumbs for continuing coverage of the Wii U in the lead up to the system’s launch on November 18 in North America and be sure to check out our look back and celebration of its predecessor via the Wii 25-in-25 in the meantime. Also, as always, feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Why are they limiting the digital download promotion to Deluxe Wii U’s? Why bar the 3DS from getting these points? Why a code and not just directly applying the credit to your account? I like this idea since it rewards people for buying digital games, but why limit it like this?
