A promotional flyer given out by US retailer Target suggests that the company doesn’t actually know what the Wii U looks like. The latest flyer shows a Wii U GamePad with the Pikmin 3 logo resting on a black Wii console. There’s always the possibility that this will confuse consumers just a little bit more.
Thanks, Mario007

You think that’s bad?
You should look at the neogaf thread the news links to. The gamers on there appearantly don’t know what it even looks like, including those that own the thing (somehow).
Like this gem of a comment
“To be fair to Target on this one, I never found the Wii U to look all that different from that Wii design, aside from more rounded edges and other things.”
They shouldn’t mention that. It may get Nintendo sued by Apple.

ikr!
i think their heads are made of sh!t !
Major FAIL Target! If people see this ad, they will not purchase the Wii U because they think they already have one at home! False Advertising!
General consumers still think the gamepad is an add on and this doesn’t really help, does it?
this is exactly what i have been saying this whole time people dont know the existance of wii u
JUST KILL ME NOW http://fail.brm.sk/facepalm/extremefacepalm.png
That picture made me laugh. XD
Do it yourself you lazy git.
what would you suggest?
….Lol
LOL that is hilarious, how wrong did they get that, Nintendo should step in as we always want them to and market it to death
how stupid are they?! they sell the damn thing and it’s printed on the box!
Good for them. It’s Nintendo’s fault for being so stupid making a console that looks so much like its predecessor and has basically the same name. The Wii U is definitely one of Nintendo’s biggest mistakes.
3DS is a similar looking successor as the DSi but nobody complained that same BS right? Same goes for its early predictions when there’s lacking games. Doesn’t all that sound oddly familiar? 3DS started the same way and then boomed into something bigger. Wii U will have its day soon.
True, but there are still some idiots that complains how the 3DS games they bought doesn’t work on their DS.
Oh, so a major retailer making an unprofessional mistake is apparently good now.
nes. Snes??? even though they dont look the same the name is almost must have been pretty confusing or is human growing stupider
Nintendo better learn a lesson or two from this.
Um, excuse me, how is this nintendo’s fault again? I mean, if this misconception was made by an individual consumer or group of consumers, maybe, but a huge retailer like target? Poor marketing or not, that is no excuse for this mistake.
The Wii U looks similar to the Wii family edition, The Wii U has poor ass marketing, many people think Wii U is an accessory for the Wii. Part of it is Nintendo’s fault.
^ this !
I don’t know how to respond to this. Technically they want to sell it…
Exposed!
This is a clear indication of the west’s mind blowing stupidity that just increases every week!
If my non gaming parents can comprehend what the Wii U is, why can’t they?…
“We don’t know what the Wii U is…”
Gamet set and match!
I been trying to fool my smallest siblings into getting him a wiiu saying the original wii is a wiiu and he is 6 and he knows how it looks like.
At least they are still selling it, unlike some of the major UK retailers.
If by “major UK retailers”, you mean those supermarkets?
You know, those places that specialize more in food than in games?
Quit now.
This is Target, a place that specializes in food more than games. Thats why i compared it to other supermarkets. Holy hell.
Whoa don’t insult the west dude, insult all of Targets industry. This makes them look bad on their part. Fucking idiots, this is gonna backlash Wii U hard. Why can’t it get a fucking break.
Insults is the only thing the West is good for.
You just need to look at all recent news over the past 6 months…
The western stupidity becomes clear…
So I don’t get a $50 Giftcard then… :(
I’m sorry… but I just freaking LOL’d so loud just now. This us outrageous but hilarious xD. God Speed people will know about the Wii U soon. God speed.
This just confirms it! Nintendo has been sabotaged.
I get that Feeling as well…
Yea you have to actually try at screwing like that specially from a company.
There has got to be some chance that was done on purpose by someone being a smartass in Target’s Marketing department. Gawwwwd.
This^
Bombard Target’s Facebook and Twitter and rub this error in their faces.
They’re saying one gets a free $50 gift card when they buy a Wii U.
Why does’th thou just not lessen thine wiiu’s price, and vanquish the annoy’th evil of thous extended price?
lol so funny
I don’t understand how someone had the wiiu gamepad but took the picture without the wii u…
Dumb, but really is that big of a deal???
Perhaps, since some people aren’t sure its even an upgrade… but they are just as dumb as Target in my opinion
Remeber this community has people who wants Microsoft drm back.
Since the WiiU and Wii look similar at a glance, maybe not too big a deal. More of a jab at Nintendo, but probably won’t take away from sales.
Hell, I had to do a double-take to notice what they did. X.x
It ALMOST seems like some companies out there are trying to sabotage Nintendo a little… :/
I don’t think so. Targets don’t really care what the products look like as long its sell. In this case they trying to sell the Wii U consoles but… I guess the Ads creator never seen the console before.
It’s so hard being a Wiiu fan atm LOL! I predict sales will increase with the big titles launching this year and Asda and morrisons will magically start selling again. If they don’t other places like Gamestation, HMV , Grainger , Game will get the sales.
Haven’t seen you here in a while.
Now go back to Wii U Daily.
Go on now, shoo shoo.
Don’t talk to him like that, he is no human is he?!
You go back shoo shoo!
Why is he not aloud to be at both? I am?
I agree!
That’s hilarious.
Is Target that stupid? They’ve obviously have gotten shipments of the Wii U, which shows the picture right on the damn box!
They probably hire Ads designers which probably doesn’t have a single clue what the gaming consoles look like.
How do you have the gamepad but not the console in the picture? did they take the wiiu out of the box then get it mixed up with a wii while bringing it to the picture station..?
Or maybe the Wii U doesn’t know what a target looks like? ;o
No wonder it sells bad when stores are retards.
My oh my freaking god. This just..I have no more words to say but Target has gone full-blown retarded.
This ONLY solution Nintendo can do about this is not only Advertise the Wii U like crazy but kill off the original Wii as well like now. The Wii had its time. Now its time for it to be laid to rest.

Please understand what? It’s not Nintendos fault it’s Targets fault.
Please understand Target’s stupidity? :D
Lol yeah seriously.
Nintendo made it look to similar to the Wii family edition, they are to blame too.
By your logic apple is bad for making the iPhone 5 look like the 4S, and the 4, and 3GS, and pretty much every iPhone created.
Yes, If they have an iphone 4 on a iphone 5 ad or commercial they will be at fault, but that rarely happens as casual people are aware of the iphone 5 but not the Wii U.
my point is that it doesn’t appear that nintendo is at fault here. Should the Wii U be marketed better? Absolutly! But Target is a major distributer, which has many Wii U’s in storage in stores, and in warehouses, meaning this mistake could have easily been avoided had the designer actually looked at the front of the products box.
I just don’t see how this is nintendo’s fault seeing as how they are a major company and clearly already know about the wii u due to the fact THEY ARE SELLING IT!
The iOS series:
Have a reputation for being cream of the crop products. So yeah, they are riding that wave. (soon to hurt them, finally)
2.) Apple is targeting adults who drop 3-$400 USD EVERY YEAR. My friend, I do not think that is the business model we want as gamers.
No because Apple no how to market a fucking product. Nintendo probably doesn’t even know what the word means.
I agree. But I have a regular Wii so I see no similarity between the two.
Well, the target image isn’t really the highest quality, and the Gamepad “pops” pretty good.
I will say, THANK GOD they have Pikmin on the game pad. Even if people don’t know exactly what it is, it looks good on the game pad and makes it look nice. ;)
SO STUPID TARGET NOW THEY ARE LIKE THIRD PARTYS NOW
It’s stupid really now people say the WiiU isn’t much different compared to the Wii… The WiiU graphics are so much better. If you compare it to other consoles like the XBox 360 and the XBox One, the graphics on XBox 360 was already good so there isn’t THAT much difference when move to XBox One. Also they are both black like pretty much mose of the XBox 360 models. Whilst the Wii is usually known to be white (This is just one off chance) and the WiiU is most commonly black (Although basic is white I know)
Wish people would stop this bullshit about the WiiU isn’t much different because it is by a longshot and people are dumb asses to think otherwise. And as for Target, they are just idiots.
Wow, they took time to photoshop them together, but couldn’t even to actually look at the console.
Its a really bad photoshop job too, like its all out of proportion and they just used a cheap gaussian blur of a circle to put them together. Man that Wii looks xBox one sized.
Your kidding me! HOW THE FUCK YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT A WII U LOOKS LIKE…AND YOU BEEN SELLING IT FOR A WHILE NOW?! IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO LOOK AT THE DAMN BOX, TAKE IT OUT, SEE IT, AND DISPLAY IT?! You fucking retards that WORK FOR TARGET!!!
That’s minimum wage employment for you…

It’s time us nintendo fans went to nintendo’s facebook page and put our company back where it’s suppose to be. End the tree house nonsense now!
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nintendo-needs-another-vp-of-marketing/
Said the designer who worked on the ad.
lol
Everyone knows that no one actually proof checks these flyers. There are tons of poorly photoshopped images, that have people with 3-4 arms, or a different skin colored leg than the rest of their body.
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nintendo-needs-another-vp-of-marketing/
fucking moron stupid target
That’s funny considering in the Target Canada flyer, they have the correct picture of a wii u.
You had one job target..
lol
Can’t confuse people any more than what Nintendo already did when they named the damn console “Wii U” in the first place.
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nintendo-needs-another-vp-of-marketing/
Lol. At least the game pad stands out and they have a great game like Pikmin on it. :D
Nintendo needs to go all out advertising. People in the west are not as smart as parents from yhe eighties anymore. In the eighties parents knew what a nintendo system was and even helped you connect it to your television. NINTENDO really needs to drop that goofy tree house and go back do EAT YOUR HEART OUT ADVERTISING!
Indeed…
As our fallen temporary misguided Nintendo Assassin Anakin Skywalker said:
“Aggressive negotiations”…
Or as I put it “Aggressive Media Outburst”…
I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference :/
what does that even mean Gamer?? how can logging on facebook save Nintendo??
that’s just embarrassing
Pingback: Really Target?
I dont know should i laugh or cry.
Where does it say that they don’t know what a Wii U looks like?
I think this is someone in advertising having a laugh.
BEN SANDERS GO DIE NOW!!!! SHUT UP WITH THE ”Uh hello THING”!!!! GO TO GONINTENDO YOU TROLL OR YOU KNOW WHAT, JUST GO DIE BEN!!! NO MORE BEN OR I’LL CONTRACT SICKR!!!! WHY U MAD IS GONE FOREVER AND NOW WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU??!? GO DIE BEN, JUST GO DIE!!!!
Herp a derp if they sell them or have a demo set up they would see what it looks like.
What is the wii u? is it an add on for the wii?
What is the wii u? Is it a controller add on for the wii?
double post fail.
I would be honest here, I didn’t even know that was a Wii until I finish read the article. I think I now understand the ‘people think the wii u is a wii’ buzz. Personally I don’t see nintendo’s fault in this, well not entirely.
Uhh… And I just bought from Target…
Uhh… and I just bought my Wii U from Target…
HOW THE HELL DO U PUT THE GAMEPAD,WHICH CLEARLY HAS THE WII U LOGO ON TOP OF A WII????? at least they’re marketing the Deluxe Wii U and Pikmin 3.
Boo on you Target.

When does that offer take place? I’m getting it if they give me a $50 gift card, I’ll be getting Pikmin with that.
Pingback: Iwata no cree que el Wii U ha sido rechazado a pesar de tener ventas decepcionantes | NintenDominante
wow people are dumb -_- people need to get the fact that the Wii and the Wii U are completely different things through their thick heads
You’re all fuckin’ stupid. That’s a Dreamcast with a Wii U controller FAGS. Get your eyes checked and then put the Wii Remote up your assholes.
Anyone else noticed the wii is photoshopped? I looked at the picture, then my white wii, and the pic looks more like a hybrid between the two. (unless nintendo has redesigned the wii as of late, of course. The main differences is the orientation of button names and the wii logo placement)
LOL! Stupid, stupid Target. I love the store, but this was a big mistake on their part.
For the love of Arceus…
WHAT PLANET ARE THESE PEOPLE ON HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHAT WIIU IS
