Kotaku has gotten its hands on the rumored GameStop email that requests the recall of all Wii U Basic Sets. The retailer will no longer sell the console option starting on June 18 – one week after the E3 Nintendo Direct.
The site’s source provided the image above, which says the following:
“Nintendo Wii U Basic Recall – Two Week Preparation On Tuesday, 6/18, all stories will need to return all new/unopened Wii U Basic (020359). .. Stores that have 10 or more in stock will receive shipping cartons from the [distribution center]. .. All other stores will need to save shipping cartons for this recall.”
Nintendo isn’t saying much about the situation for now. When asked for a comment, a representative said: “We do not comment on our business practices with retailers.”
We’ll be left to speculate as to what Nintendo has planned here…
