[UPDATE] WiiU Production Officially Ends in Japan

wii-u-gamepad-controller.jpg
As reported earlier, Nintendo planned the inevitable end of WiiU production sometime "soon".

It appears that the time has finally come and the console has stopped being produced in Japan according to the hardware section of Nintendo Japan’s website.

UPDATE: In a statement to Kotaku, Nintendo of America stated that "WiiU production has ended globally."

Speak for yourself... i love my Wii U.


The Wii U was just a small upgrade to the Wii. Just like the original gba to the sp, dsi to the ds, the new 3ds to the old. People who expected it to be on par with the PS3 and Xbox 360 would see it as a failure. No support came from other devs because Nintendo now make shite consoles for devs to work with and easy to hack. To me the Wii U is the best system currently on the planet as an emulation machine. I can see the switch being a bigger failure. For a start it's marketing is so crap. Are people really gonna meet up everywhere with there switches and multi play together. No. Most games are all gonna be ports of older games with only Nintendo releasing a few first party games throughout its lifespan. Nintendo has lost the home console war I'm afraid.
LOL probably the stupidest thing i've read on here today! congratz!

Say what you want..but the WiiU was a good console. MUCH MUCH better than the Wii. Honestly it's the modern day Dreamcast.

Reminds me of the type of people who said the Wii U was the tablet controller and not an entirely new console.

Sometimes you just gotta look inside yourself, contemplate all the decisions you've made, and think about how nice your life has been so far.

Let's analyze it a little more for lulz.

Claim: Wii U is to Wii as GBA SP is to GBA, DSi to DS, New3DS to Old3DS.
  • GBA SP vs. GBA: Adds frontlight (backlight on AGS-101) and folding design; moves audio output to a combined jack with DC In; no other HW changes.
  • DSi vs. DS: Doubles the ARM9 CPU speed and adds WPA2 for supported games; removes GBA slot.
  • New3DS vs. Old3DS: Triples the ARM11 CPU speed, adds two more cores, doubles RAM.
  • Wii U vs. Wii: Increases CPU speed, adds two more cores, increases RAM from 88 MB to 2 GB, adds 8 GB or 32 GB of internal storage in addition to the 512 MB Wii storage (plus another 512 MB for the OS), adds a new GPU that supports 1920x1080 resolution, adds support for 802.11n Wi-Fi, adds the GamePad, a higher-capacity disc drive (based on Blu-ray), somewhat better online play, official support for downloading games onto USB storage devices.
Yep, exactly the same thing. :V

The stylised titles on the US WiiU cover spines look a lot better than the European ones which were usually just normal text. However, considering the US WiiU covers were all white.. I'd take the PAL ones instead (all blue and stand out from the Wii ones)!

Ultra Smash, Devil's Third, Star Fox Zero? Collectible but mediocre games.

Ultra Smash, this is mediocre, not enough content. The base tennis game is still very fun if you have another player.

Devils Third, i feel this game gets WAY to much hate. Its FUN not in any way perfect and not worth $60 but its no where near the 3/10 2/10 this game was getting. This is a solid 6/10. If you don't take it seriously u'll really enjoy yourself. The online multiplayer was the best part of the game and it was shutdown 2 weeks ago, it was SO FUN i would legit give it a 8/10 you did yourself a disservice if you've never played Devils Third online chicken mode.

Star Fox Zero, this game would be a 8/10 if not for the STUPID BACKWARDS CONTROLS. How is one supposed to shoot looking at the gamepad yet still dodge and maneuver by looking at the TV? i only have 2 eyes. Whoever thought of that gimmick deserves to be fired.

you can barely even find a 3ds in stores...very obvious Switch is going to takeover after 2017
There's two new Fire Emblem games coming out for the 3DS and it's so profitable that it'd be foolish of Nintendo to kill off the 3DS. The 3DS is a success whereas the WiiU never really was, makes it even worse it was dead on arrival.
