Nintendo manque de pièces de rechange pour la Wii U, Met fin au service de réparation au Japon

Last year in May, Nintendo’s Japanese support service revealed it would be ending repairs for the Wii U when its current parts inventory ran out. Maintenant, in an update just over a year later on its website, it’s announced the service for this system (initialement publié en 2012) has officially ended.

Here’s a rough translation, explaining how it’s run out of the replacement parts necessary to repair consoles – with the company now no longer accepting repairs this week as of 3rd July 2024. This includes Wii U peripherals. You can see on Nintendo’s official website the many other systems it’s no longer accepting repairs for, which covers its past-generation products.

Nintendo: “We have run out of parts necessary for repairs, so as of July 3, 2024, we will no longer be accepting repairs for Wii U consoles and peripherals.”

Nintendo called time on its Wii U repair service in North America and elsewhere years ago, so nothing has changed locally. This follows the Japanese video game giant also shutting down the online servers for the Wii U (as well as the 3DS) plus tôt cette année, marking the end of both of these generations.

Conformément à Nintendo’s official data, the Wii U sold just over 13 million units and surpassed 100 million software sales.
