Forums - Nintendo - Nikkei: Nintendo ceasing Wii U production at the end of the year

As they should. The Wii U is basically a zombie at this point. Just let it rest and focus all your efforts on the NX and bringing in as much software and 3rd party support as possible. No more long software droughts!

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

There is a fairly vocal contingent on this board that was yelling and screaming that Nintendo would not end Wii U by year 4. 

Hopefully this is the nail in that coffin because it's basically what every NX thread devolved into. 

After all the indicators that have come up in the past 12 months from even financial reports from AMD and another company if someone truly believed NX being out this year wasn't a very big possibility than they have themselves to blame if this news hits them hard.

Because they are betraying Wii U owners? They are a bunch of liars. Kimishim asaid that they have many unannounced Wii U games left. He also said that he wants more Splatoon-like games on the Wii U. Iwata said that Nintendo will make Wii U owners happy of owning Wii U and give them what they want. Aonuma said that Zelda will launch exclusively on Wii U. Iwata said that NX won't replace the Wii U. Those were all lies. And I'm not the one who takes lies with humor or fun. If Nintendo lies in my face I will refuse to further support them. Not to mention that the NX will most likely fail even harder than the Wii U since they make the mistake and launch it mid-gen.

I'm done with this company. They can close their doors and I won't care. They can just die now.

Can you give links for those statements since he said they had unannounced titles for the Wii U and 3DS not just the Wii U and that was before TPHD and PMCS were announced and he said he wanted more games like Splatoon and Mario Maker he didn't say anything about those beign on the Wii U.Nintendo also said that the DS was not going to replace the GBA and that TP was GC exclusive and we all know how that ended up.



Zelda is totally going to be like Twilight Princess all over again. Limited Wii U release, probably even after the NX version, lol.

Is this a fake account or is that really him? Pretty unprofessional if the latter.



Kinda funny/sad that XB360 and PS3 are still being produced whereas Wii U basically isn't. This gen has been a complete disaster for Nintendo, if I could post on this board 4 years in the past and tell everyone, lol, no one would believe it.

It's his real account. He acknowledged it during the CES 2016:
