Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo denies Wii U ceasing production this year

Why doesn't Nintendo also deny all the NX rumors?

I think it's absolutely crazy that some people just deny Nintendo's denial.

Even if it was true, you have no way to know if it is or isn't. It's absolutely crazy to go in this world where you believe nothing. They said it. We have to assume it's true. That's just how it is. We can't assume a lie when we got no proof whatsoever.

Read the posts on the 2 prior pages before this, the article in OP leaves out the actual quotes. Nintendo say they intend to produce Wii U's for the next quarter and beyond (which translates into fiscal Q1 (ending June) and at least another quarter (ending september). They don't mention any fiscal year and there is no implication of them producing Wii U's beyond 2016.  Nor do they outright say the claim is false, simply that it is "not from the company" which is essentially a non statement.

If you put out a statement in response to a report/rumour, which actually reads like spin instead addressing the specifcs of the rumour (producing Wii U beyond 2016) then it likely because the rumour is true.

He's not acting like it is a Nintendo thing. He's letting you know that the so-called saint savior or gaming, worshipped as godly under Yamauchi's watch, isn't any better than most other gaming company. Unlike what most hardcore Nintendo fans will want you to belive.

But that's factually wrong. They have done some things, even in recent times, that make them at least slightly better than other companies in that regard. They're not saints but they're not 100% bad either.

Like having Super Nintendo eShop titles only compatible with the New 3DS and not the 3DS? Thoses kinds of things? Because to me, that doesn't make them better than anyone.

So, they did not deny that they'll continue production in 2017?

Nintendo never denied anything.

They spoke around the issue, and news sites are makeing up dramatic headlines for clicks.

Hey guys, remember when the Wall Street Journal said that Nintendo was going to make a live-action Zelda series on Netflix and then Iwata denied it and then it never happened?

Just because there are a few examples of Nintendo denying reports that turned out to be true does not mean it's always the case.

But this is not WSJ, this is Nikkei.

 

BTW, the deny didn't come from Kimishima.

You gotta love how people uses this threads to fire cheap shots to the their hated company even when they have only said what they are supposed to say wether the console production ceases this year or not.

Worded poorly. What I mean is that the supposed deny of the Nikkei rumor about ceasing Wii U production didn't come from Kimishima, but a Nintendo spokeperson.

If Nintendo wanted to boost sales they shouldn't have said anything.
