Company behind Wii U eDRAM shutting down plants in the future

Renesas Electronics is heavily involved with a crucial hardware part for Wii U. And just a couple of days ago, the company announced plans to shut down (within the next 2-3 years) four semiconductor plants – one of which specifically handles the console’s DRAM embedded within the CPU.

You can probably guess why this could be an issue for Wii U. Nintendo officials say that near-term production will not be affected, so there’s no reason to panic for now.
