We have been in a year in which Wii U is gradually becoming more and more forgotten. Just three months ago, its servers were shut down, which meant that it was no longer possible to access its digital store or the online multiplayer of any of the titles in its catalogue. However, the bad news does not end there.
In the last few hours, what was already expected to happen sooner or later has been confirmed, such as the fact that Nintendo has announced that will no longer repair Wii U unitsThis is due to a very simple and easy to explain reason, which is that the company has run out of official parts to repair any damage suffered by the components.
Until now, only Japan was the only market that continued to offer this service, but From today it will no longer be possible. Therefore, anyone who owns a Wii U had better take great care of it, because it will no longer be possible to contact Nintendo to request repairs for the console itself or its tablet controller.
Of course, the latter is a great aspect to take into account, because The controller has never been sold separatelyso those who need to restore it at some point, for whatever reason, will be forced to buy a new Wii U unit from some non-specialized store where it can still be found.
