Reports on the demise of the Wii U have been reported for months, but we now have a confirmation, somewhat, by Nintendo of Japan.
Going on to the Nintendo of Japan store and searching for a Wii U will display only two units for sale, a Splatoon version and a standard. The red text indicates states that production has ended, with the caveat being “with in Japan.”
There have been no official announcements out of Nintendo whether production has halted globally, but given the Switch is months away and the Wii U hasn’t been doing well, one can assume that the Wii U era has come to an end.
