Just a few weeks ago, we informed you that Nintendo was planning to stop the production of the Nintendo Wii ’soon‘, at least in Japan.
Well, today is the day. The company has quietly listed the console as „discontinued“ (upper right on the pic above) on its Japanese website.
Nintendo has officially stopped selling the Wii in Japan. While we already knew that it was coming, we just didn’t know when. Earlier today, the company quietly changed the status of the console as „discontinued“ on the official Nintendo Japan website. Don’t worry, for it isn’t the end. You can still find stocks in small retail stores, and going 2nd hand is always an option, but this is only applicable to Japan.
