“Please apply as quickly as potential.”

We’ve been pouring many drinks out for the Wii U because it was formally canned, however we’re operating out of imbibements! Ultimately, the Wii U will grow to be a light reminiscence for some people, introduced up annually in obscure phrases, like: “Hey keep in mind that pill you would play Luigi cover and search with? What was the identify of that factor? Anyway….”

That point is coming earlier than later, based on a brand new posting on Nintendo of Japan’s official web site. The writer explains that they’re operating out of Wii U restore elements, and as soon as they’re gone, they’re gone. Right here’s the complete assertion from Nintendo of Japan (Google translated):

“For Wii U peripherals (Wii U GamePad, and many others.), we’ll cease accepting repairs concurrently the Wii U itself. If the stock of elements required for repairing a peripheral gadget runs out earlier than the top of restore acceptance for the Wii U console, we’ll cease accepting restore requests for the peripheral gadget for which we have now run out of elements stock.”

Nintendo additionally makes this double-clear on that very same web page, noting:

“In case you are contemplating repairing the Wii U console or peripherals, please apply as quickly as potential.”

We knew this was coming, however it’s unhappy all the identical

A part of me is saying “nicely, the overwhelming majority of parents most likely thought this occurred ages in the past,” however seeing a system die out in actual time remains to be a bummer. I had loads of nice occasions with the Wii U and there have been loads of unbelievable video games for it, and I hope any and all preservation efforts for it are fruitful for years to come back.
Mine nonetheless works not less than!
