Another death of WII U – now Nintendo no longer repairs it

Wii U stopped producing in the Nintendo Switch release area, but Nintendo She continued to officially repair both the console and the periphery for it – until the spare parts end. Yesterday they ended.

Nintendo announced that from July 3, Wii U and related devices for repair in Japan no longer accepts. As Eurogamer clarifies, in other parts of the world, the official repairs of WII U stopped a few years ago.

Thus, it turns out that on July 3, 2024, another nail was driven into the lid of the coffin of the unsuccessful console. Among other nails:

The WII U digital store ceased to exist in March 2023 (however, users can still download already acquired games and updates for them).

The circulation of WII U was 13 million copies. For comparison: Switch has more than 140 million now, and the console life cycle has not yet been completed.

Another interesting fact: in Japan, the Famicom console officially repaired until 2007 – that is, 24 years. Wii U this period amounted to 12 years.

She had the corresponding popularity. There were even business applications, or something like that. Not only games.

Your comment, by the way, goes very well with today’s news that the Japanese abandoned the floppy disks. Faxes still live: D

the main thing is not to hug. They are no longer repaired, you yourself understand: D

Perhaps the defense has now refused – there is still more conservative.
In our Russian Federation, by the way, in some areas of activity, it is also necessary to store and transfer a copy of documentation on physical media (read CD discs)

I’ll go, I will hug my old woman wii u.

Yes, everything is much simpler, reliability is important.

Therefore, for the layman, go to the store and buy SSD/flash drives, is not comparable to a similar update in tax or business. Not to mention cash costs.

Well, the physical person in itself is understandable, turned it off from the network and at least they will not hack it remotely. Discs just sound too retrograde)

It was like about the United States. But I already remember badly.

Well, I can understand why they have been using such technologies for so long. All Iza of the 30th year economic crisis in Japan that began in 1989. Most companies and people got into cheap loans and seeing this situation of the Central Bank of Japan, raised key rates so that digging and people stop using these services so often, but they unexpectedly such an epic that occurred that occurred. New loans became disadvantageous, and the company and people simply had no finances, so they began to be bonk drowning massively, because they thought that cheap loans would always be. Those companies that remained afloat almost all the money were given to banks, and there were no free capital to update the technical fund, so the old technique still in Japan is still in demand in Japan. And Japan is unlikely to come out of this crisis, because they also have a crisis of the population, many old people and few young people. Elderly people do not like to spend money and save everything, and there are few young people, so the consumption of goods and services does not grow. And the economy is stamped on the spot. The only option is migrants, but the Japanese government is afraid of the prospect of social shocks among new and old citizens, therefore it is very reluctant to give out citizenship
