Really? There were ads on TV? I don't count Nintendo Directs because only a small percentage of informed gamers even know they are a thing. To reach the masses you need ads interrupting what they're already watching, because most people don't go out of their way to learn what's out there.
As for Rhythm Heaven? Yeah. Bad example. Its funny how something like Kirby's Rainbow Curse would get TV ads though. That kind of thing doesn't seem very mass market. Hm must be because of the IP.
