Last May, Nintendo’s Japanese language support service Revealed that it will end repairs for Wii U when their current spare parts inventory ran out. Now, in an update just over a year later on their website, they have announced that service for this system (originally released in 2012) has officially ended.
Here’s a rough translation explaining why the company ran out of replacement parts needed to repair the consoles — the company is no longer accepting repairs this week as of July 3, 2024. This includes Wii U peripherals. You can check it out on Nintendo’s official website. Many other systems no longer accept repairs.including previous generation products.
Nintendo: “We have run out of parts needed for repairs, so as of July 3, 2024, we will no longer accept repairs for Wii U consoles and peripherals.”
Nintendo discontinued its Wii U repair service in North America and elsewhere years ago, so nothing has changed locally. This comes after the Japanese video game giant also closing online servers for Wii U (as well as 3DS) earlier this year, marking the end of both generations.
Based on Official Nintendo DataThe Wii U has sold over 13 million units and surpassed 100 million software sales.
