Eurogamer is reporting that Nintendo will be ending production of the Wii U in just a matter of days. If the site is spot on, the production line will close on Friday following the final deadline for orders passed yesterday. That information apparently comes from “multiple sources” speaking with Eurogamer.
Nikkei claimed earlier in the year that Wii U production would cease by the end of 2016. However, Nintendo quickly denied any such plans.
Prior to today, a rumor indicated that European retailers would no longer be able to place orders for Wii U after October 1.
