Nintendo Insists That Wii U Production Will Continue Beyond This Week "There is no change to our continuing [Wii U] production" Yesterday we - like a great many other gaming sites - reported on a rumour which claimed that Wii U production was stopping this Friday. However, Japanese site IT Media has been in touch with a spokesperson from Nintendo who has said the reports are "not true" and that the console will continue to be manufactured: There is no change to our continuing [Wii U] production. Even though the Nintendo Switch is slated to go on sale, [Wii U] production is scheduled to continue. A few months ago Japanese newspaper Nikkei ran a report claiming production of the struggling system would be coming to a close at the end of the year, something Nintendo refuted at the time. The company's next console, the Nintendo Switch, launches in March 2017.

That and thought that the console was "for kids". But, it would seem it is the console of good taste and, while there have been missteps, lazy 3rd party ports, Animal Crossing, Mario Tennis, the bulk of 1st party stuff has been essential gaming to the last. It's morr disappointing to consider how many people won't play them. I'm not a fan of the position that Nintendo should go software only, but consider the sales if MK8 and Super Mario 3D World were released on PS4/XB1, they'd certainly be huge. Hopefully the Switch will bring some people back to the Nintendo fold.

Looks Like Nintendo Has A Sense Of Humour About The Wii U's Failure "Great artists aren’t always appreciated in their own time” Nintendo is used to success - it is responsible for some of the most popular video game franchises of all time, and has produced consoles and handhelds which have sold millions upon millions of units. However, like any firm with a history that stretches back more than 100 years, it isn't immune from failure, and its most recent home system has been one of its most high-profile duds. However, Nintendo clearly has a sense of humour about such things. Just as it playfully referenced the Virtual Boy in Tomodachi Life and WarioWare, it has slipped a cute comment about the Wii U into the recent Animal Crossing: New Leaf update. It's certainly true that the Wii U hasn't had the appreciation that it deserves, especially with titles like Super Mario 3D World, Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon and Super Smash Bros. in its library. In the future we'll no doubt see these games re-released and remastered, and hopefully they'll reach an even wider audience. For now, they remain exclusive to the 13 million people who were brave enough to take the plunge with Nintendo's dual-screen home console.
Nintendo Confirms Wii U Production Is Coming To A Close Coming clean Nintendo has officially confirmed that production of its Wii U console is coming to an end. The announcement comes via the company's Japanese site, which has the message "近日生産終了予定" or "production is scheduled to end soon" on its Wii U page. This news comes just over a week after rumours hit the web that final orders had been placed for the system. Nintendo initially denied the reports. At the last count, the Wii U had sold 13.36 million units worldwide, making it one of Nintendo's lowest-selling home systems.

It's like Christmas has been cancelled. You can't buy the NES Classic Mini anywhere, Nintendo have nothing for the Wii U and now this. It's so disappointing!
