The UK’s very first Wii U TV spot has been banned from being aired in the UK, in its current form, all because of one moaning idiot, this idiot mistakenly assumed that all Wii U games would be able to be played/viewed on the Wii U Pad when someone else was using the TV, here is the video in question:

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) made the ruling yesterday, here is a quote from their website:

Number of complaints: 1
Ad
A TV ad for the Nintendo Wii U games console included the claim “Say someone wants to watch TV when you’re halfway through a game … do both, and everyone’s happy”. The player was shown switching from playing on the TV screen to playing on the built-in screen of the GamePad controller.
Issue
The complainant, who believed that the option to switch gameplay to the GamePad controller would not be available on all games, challenged whether the ad was misleading.
Response
Nintendo of Europe GmbH, UK branch (Nintendo) did not believe the ad was misleading. They said the ad showed the functional capabilities of the hardware including various examples of how the Wii U GamePad may be used in games to interact with the console.
Assessment
Upheld
The ad referred to a number of features of the Wii U console and GamePad, including being able to shoot at the TV using the GamePad, switching gameplay to the GamePad if someone else wanted to use the TV and using the GamePad to zoom in on targets, enter key codes and interact with the surroundings in the game.
Action
The ad must not appear again in its current form.

All ads I watch on TV are a bit exorbitant.... sad one "moaning idiot" doesn't understand that.....

I don't blame him for getting testy. Sony pulled the same crap with their PS Vita claiming it could cross-play all games, along with a slew of other abilities. When folks bought the dang thing none of that stuff was available on launch day. We had to wait several months before some of the features were available. The advertisements either need to start being extremely accurate or don't mention anything about the product at all.

obviously if the game requires both the tv and the gamepad screen you will not be able to simply use the gamepad screen so how did he expect ALL games to have the option. dick

Pfft, You moan about almost everything.

[stuck?]

all it takes is one moron to misinterpret something and then it's a big shitstorm....

Somebody has a problem? Lawsuit. Given pork at a restaurant and you don't eat pork and feel that the restaurant should have known you don't eat pork? Lawsuit. Person 'A' is a moron? Lawsuit.

I've seem to have gone far off topic.....

I might as well sue Environment Canada because they said we'd be getting warmer temperatures but.. oh no, now we're -30Celcius instead of +5Celcius like the weatherman said last week it would be.
