A notice on Nintendo’s website notes that the Japanese Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle will soon be discontinued. A specific date isn’t mentioned, but it’ll be on the way out soon. Once retailers sell their remaining stock, that’ll be it.
Consumers will still have two options left if they’re interested in picking up a Wii U. They’ll be able to buy a standard system, or the new Splatoon bundle.
Update: The patch notes are available, courtesy of Serebii. The notes are quite extensive (especially for Shadow Mewtwo), and so have been placed after the jump.
Update (6/10): Splatoon will also be getting some maintenance in the same window. Here’s the schedule for that:
– 3 PM PT (Monday)- 7 PM PT
– 6 PM ET (Monday) – 10 PM ET
– 12 AM in the UK (Tuesday)- 3 AM in the UK
– 1 AM in Europe (Tuesday) – 4 AM in Europe

– 1:50 AM in the UK (Wednesday)- 3:30 AM in the UK
– 2:50 AM in Europe (Wednesday)- 4:30 AM in Europe
Original (6/8): Nintendo has scheduled another round of maintenance for next week. All network services will be unavailable during this time for Wii U and 3DS. The times are as follows:
– 3 PM PT (Monday) – 6 PM PT (Monday)
– 6 PM ET (Monday) – 9 PM ET (Monday)

Splatoon’s next Splatfest has been announced for Japan. Starting on June 18 at 9 AM and lasting for a full day, players can participate in the new competition.
The upcoming Splatfest is in partnership with Meiji. Players are asked to choose one of two sides: Kinoko no Yama (Mountain of Mushrooms) or Takenoko no Sato (Bamboo Shoot Village).
Europe’s 15th Splatfest will be taking place this weekend. Nothing has been announced for North America, but that should be changing in the near future.
