Last year in May, Nintendo’s Japanese support team revealed that it would end repairs for the Wii U when the current supply of parts runs out. Now, in an update a little over a year later on its website, it has announced that service for this system (originally released in 2012) has officially ended.
Here’s a rough translation explaining how the replacement parts needed to repair the consoles have run out – and the company is no longer accepting repairs this week from July 3, 2024. This includes Wii U peripherals. You can see on Nintendo’s official website many other systems for which it no longer accepts repairswhich covers its previous generation products.
Nintendo: “We have run out of parts needed for repairs, so starting July 3rd, 2024 we will no longer be accepting repairs for Wii U consoles and peripherals.”
Nintendo suspended its Wii U repair service in North America and elsewhere years ago, so nothing has changed locally. This follows the Japanese video game giant also shutting down the online servers for the Wii U (as well as the 3DS) earlier this year, marking the end of both these generations.
According to Official data from NintendoThe Wii U sold just over 13 million units and surpassed 100 million in software sales.
