Nintendo has updated its Japanese website with a brief notice regarding the status of Wii U. Text on the console’s page simply states: “Production is scheduled to end soon.” This applies to both models of Wii U currently available in Japan.

It’s been rumored that Nintendo would be moving on from Wii U production, though the company recently denied such speculation. Today’s news would indicate that the big N will be moving on from its current console sooner rather than later.
