New Nintendo push to sell concept of the Wii U globally

2013 heralded a year of Microsoft vs. Sony madness and with that backdrop almost forcing a psychology of “choose one or the other” onto consumers, the Wii U spent most of 2013 in the shadows as a result (whilst the Nintendo 3DS continued its success in the handheld market notably).

Normally when Nintendo’s marketing and promotion engine starts running, we can expect to see colourful, fun promotional images; and this time is no different. Images source: Nintendo Japan’s official site.

The Wii U as a cookinng companion? Sure

The Wii U as a cooking companion? I wish someone had told me that yesterday before I incinerated dinner.

So, what do you guys think is the Wii U’s most impressive non-gaming feature?
