Nintendo’s gradual shift from the Wii U to the NX continues, and now retailers are being impacted by this. According to Gameseek, “retailers in the UK are being asked to put their final orders in for the Wii U”. They explained later in their article, saying that “Nintendo is now taking final orders on Wii U consoles. Those that haven’t ordered by the end of next week (Friday September 30) will not be able to order the Wii U again from Nintendo”. They say that it’s just UK retailers, but additional details provided in a tweet suggest that Nintendo isn’t planning this October 1st deadline for only them. There, it’s said that the deadline applies “in most European countries”.
Retailers can't order Wii U's anymore after October 1st in most European countries.

its happening isnt it
||If you had any idea of how much that has happened already in secret…||
*fasr forward to the end of October* it’s happening isn’t it
Let the boat finally sink
The NX reveal is so close I can almost taste it.
SpongeBob always makes everything better heh.
In other words, NX reveal is pretty soon
As if they were going to order some anyways.

I remember purposely doing that once or twice in Super Mario 64 just for the hell of it. xD
USE THE BUTT GLITCH
and nintendo was like No it’s not going to be discontinued at the end of the year.
||This only applies to the UK mostly so even if the entire European territory doesn’t sell them anymore, the other 2 will continue, ergo not lying…||
$299 til the day I die!

It’ll likely get a price cut around or before the NX releases, just so they can clear stock.
The said that they will still support the console, not that they will keep selling it. Maybe that’s an indication that the NX will be backwards compatible.
||Someone else that knows how to process information, good…||
Possibly, but that’s something every console maker says when they transition.
Better replace that gamepad now if you’ve ruined yours.
The wait is almost over…….Now I can breathe again….ahhhhhh lol
So long Wii U!! It’s been fun.
Sadly, I suspect this won’t be a problem.
Sad
Wow. Discontinued before its successor is even released.

Wow this is really happening another console coming.
I want to use a Titanic analogy but maybe that would be in bad taste considering the Titanic’s first & last voyage departed from a European country. :o
||Maybe you humans should stop crying over things that happened cycles ago…||
Remember when Nintendo said something along the lines of the NX not being a replacement for the WiiU and how both systems will be able to co-exist? Haha. I do remember.
3rd pillar my ass, amirite? Lol
Yes, and it wasn’t too long ago that Kimishima said that.
||This doesn’t negate anything yet, they basically meant weaponry only plus this only concerns Europe…||
||Plus they obviously didn’t mean co-existence for years, it could easily mean just a few months…||
Not to be Capt. Obvious, but if they stop selling the console to retailers next month, they won’t be coexisting for a few months at all, especially with all software development having stopped on the Wii U, as it seems.
Just like with the DS, this was just Nintendo trying to not make it look like they’re abandoning an older console despite it being pretty damn clear that they are. Please don’t try to twist their words to somehow make it anything more than them flat out lying for marketing purposes.
||I’m not twisting anything, and like both me and the report states, this only applies to the EU territory, their weakest stronghold…||
||So until they declare the same thing in NA and Japan then our point still stands…||
It has begun.
Niiiiiceee.
Bring on the new.
Well, it certainly sounds as if the NX is still scheduled for a March 2017 release. Some were worried that Nintendo was going to delay the NX.
This Announcement i say…. Nothing! i’m not an upgrade freak I still think the Wii u has life and I’ll continue to support it Plus it will mean the games will be easier to get So fuck you Nintendo I’m sticking with my Wii U
I’m not a sonyian or xbox lover but Nintendo lied to us all saying the Nx “IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR WII U !” Laughs maniacally, did anybody really buy that load of bullshit?
NX is the successor of Wii U now?
I can’t believe people thought otherwise. Nintendo has said things like that more than once before. It makes me laugh anyone keeps believing the same marketing statement to further sales until their new product comes out.
I think it’s a strategic mistake. We saw it with the wii and wii u. Nintendo did the same thing and the wii u was not selling. Nintendo keep the Nx secret cause they are afraid the press going to bash the bleeming thing. Now the wii u games going to he very expensive (like they are not already) and with the scorpion and PS4 neo coming as well, the Nx whatever it is should be really something out of this world. Now I have to rush and buy bayonetta and wonderful 101 before the become a collector item.
Finally! I want this NX now. Does anyone know the retail value of one in Canada/US? I want to see how much it will be. :-)
Lol Nintendo said that they weren’t going to replace the Wii U with the NX, but that’s definitely happening
The NX’s long-awaited reveal is nigh, my friends. It has to be after news like this.
in a good world, the NX was revealed in Augest.

Leave it to NinFuckDo to kill a console before anouncing the next one. This is like death of Wii online all over again. Sorry Nintendo but you don’t have m support for NX. Unless you pump out massively on the games I won’t even consider NX at the end of the generation.
If the NX really ISN’T backward compatible with Wii U games, then stopping production of the Wii U so soon is surprising. Nobody that doesn’t already have a Wii U will ever be able to play any of the Wii U’s greatest games. But I know Nintendo’s strategy. They’ll eventually offer Wii U games on the NX virtual console and expect people to buy them AGAIN if they want to play them on the NX. NO THANK YOU, NINTENDO.
While still selling thousands a week, Nintendo is gonna end up screwing those who bought them.
