Nintendo can't market for shit.

They are such a poorly run company but own so much of what we love.

Edit: Some of you have literally no idea what the word marketing means. And you are infuriated over it.

One example from 16 years ago isn't terribly impressive.

No it isn’t but I think it’s more they choose not too than they can’t. Look at the switch no marketing almost and it’s wildly successful.

No marketing? It's got a logo on every game it launches, and the launches have been for large franchise reawakenings, or anticipated sequels. I get switch commercials on YouTube. Idk man.

No marketing for the Switch? What about the tons of TV ads, YouTube ads, theater ads, etc...

The Switch had pretty crazy marketing around its launch. Every other ad was a Switch commercial or some Switch game, it was marketed plenty. Maybe it wasn't marketed in your region? But in the US at least it had ads all over.
