Nintendo Amazingly Gets Worse At Marketing Just In Time For Plummeting Wii U Sales Perhaps poor marketing is holding back Wii U sales for Nintendo.

The devices would join other banned electronic communication devices like cell phones. The bill, while perhaps a bit laughable at first, is logical and sm
