I doubt it, especially since they just showed off the Wii U version again at the Video Game Awards show. Also, it's still available for preorder in the US.

I remember that Iwatta ask where they pretty much proudly listed all the WiiU mistakes, but had never admitted them as such. Their confidence almost had me fooled, but thanks gaf for their chip pics. |
They have, implicitly...
NX release date announcement in April, only two game releases after that.
Wii production curtailment and later the premature ceasment, at least for Japan, even though it hasn't been halted yet, but its about to stop soon...
They stopped selling gamecube in the first quarter of 2008... Gamecube and wii u sales are almost the same in their year before being replaced ( albeit, that will change in holidays quarter, unless Nintendo exceeds a lot their shipmens forecast, which is essentially a production forecast ) , with difference of wii u still being overpriced/expensive and gamecube dirty cheap since its second/third year....
Perhaps kimishima has a different opinion from Iwata...
Μy theory about all these, regards switch price and the inability of Nintendo dropping significantly wii u's price. ;)

If Nintendo have hardly dropped the WiiU price since launch even with the poor sales, why would they suddendly do it?

If they were able to do it without losing money, they would do it even at this point ( I dont' disaggre that it's too late though ) .
Price drops which boost hardware sales and software sales by extend are always welcome...

a random amazon 3rd party vendor is your proof? ok... |
To be fair the page IS in Japanese, he probably didn't realise it was a third party.

That said I cant see this honestly being true, but I wouldnt be surprised. I dont think the majority of Nintendo fans would care either but I think it would be a pretty sucky move on Nintendos part.
did they show anything that proved it was running on the WiiU, outside of someone holding a wiiu tablet (with no game play shown on it) |

Mmmm... yeah that's pretty bad performance. I think the most likely outcome of this rumour/thread is that the Retail Version is cancelled in Japan.

It's also has March 31th as release date, it could be a place holder, but is that date randoml? ;)

I guess. But it feels a bit like the are maximizing profits per unit at this point.
