"Karaoke is a big deal in Japan. Whilst Western readers may be slightly bemused by the idea of sitting in a small box with their friends and warbling their way through some favourite songs, it's a large part of Asian culture - rather than being relegated to almost-empty bars and holiday destinations as seen in the UK, karaoke venues are prevalent and popular amongst young Japanese people. It makes sense, therefore, for Nintendo to capitalise on this and bring the fun of a "karaoke box" (a small, intimate room for karaoke, usually rented by the hour) into the living room. Whilst it's obviously not the first to do this, with Sony releasing a total of 35 games in the SingStar franchise in English so far and Microsoft having a decent amount of success with 2009's Lips, Wii Karaoke U is the first karaoke sim to really capture the actual karaoke experience."
Nintendo’s aggressive marketing campaign for the Wii U has continued with a plethora of new commercials. Starring tennis icons Andre Aggassi and Steffi Graf – the 5 commercials shows off Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, and Wii Karaoke U.
these commercials arent bad but they need to make some new stuff that doesn't focus on casuals. like the old gamecube commercials:

As part of its push for digital content, Nintendo has unveiled its new Wii Karaoke U app on the eShop. Unlike traditional karaoke games, such as Singstar, you don’t pay for a copy of the game. Instead, you “rent” the software for a period of time. This is ideal if you like to get together with friends once in a blue moon because you can simply pay a small one-off fee to play the app. You can make full use of the software ’til your throats ache and then leave it for when you next use it. Although you cannot buy the software permanently, the longer rental options work out at a decent price. It really depends on usage and what you’re looking for with this.
