Nintendo Ends Wii U Repairs Due to Parts Shortage
The 12-year-old console sees its final support phase conclude as Nintendo runs out of repair components.
- Nintendo announced it will no longer accept Wii U consoles for repair as of July 3, 2024.
- The decision follows the earlier shutdown of online services and the Wii U eShop.
- The Wii U, released in 2012, sold only 13.56 million units, making it one of Nintendo's least successful consoles.
- Many Wii U games have been re-released on the more successful Nintendo Switch.
- The end of repairs marks the final phase in the Wii U's gradual discontinuation.
