I really wish Nintendo would put out a cheaper redesign of the Wii U that I could buy as a backup. If my Wii U dies on my Ill probably be fucked.

CEMU will keep it alive. The main concern will be about the game pad though.

Does Nintendo still fix controllers from older systems?
My R trigger and A button are getting a bit creaky and the system has too many great games to let slide into obscurity because the Gamepad took a beating.

The dozens of people worldwide that plan to buy a wiiu this holiday are relieved.
I'm fairly sure they still officially do wii support, gamecube support possibly unofficially.

How many times have they said things that were completely contrary to reality? I've lost count.
I was real worried there for a second when I read the title. I didn't even know production was ending that to hear it denied is really a reassurance. That just gives me the confidence that I need to go ahead and purchase a Wii U. I'm looking forward to all the games I'll be able to play on it in the coming years.

I wouldn't expect anything else from Nintendo. That said there were 2 retail releases this week. Obviously not many people will notice Tumblestone and Runbow. There are also a couple more like Shantae, Darksiders, Steamworld Collection, and Yooka Laylee. I guesd he's technically right but nothing that's going to sell Wii U's. Even Zelda isn't going to sell Wii U's when Switch is available.

And Nintendo only extended it by three days after the rumors came to light, specifically so they could deny them.

"It's not true that we are ending Wii U production this week. We actually stopped months ago and nobody noticed."
Isn't Breath of the Wild still coming out for it?

Were they actually still making these anyway? There's a ton of unsold stock in stores.

Yeah I can't imagine how production could be continuing, there's still too many unsold in stores at this point. I imagine some stores are already pretty annoyed Nintendo never did an official price drop to let them move their stock without losing money.
This hasn't been the case locally for quite a while. Wal-mart and Target usually have 2 or less in the case at any time. Usually zero are visible until the holiday season when you see maybe 3-4 in the case at any given time. Gamestop probably has some.

It now says they'll cease production in Japanese page too.
(It may mean only current SKU they are displaying but I think it's safe to assume they're referring to Wii U as a whole).

It is. Nobody's gonna buy a Wii U for it though.
"近日生産終了予定（日本国内
"From my limited Chinese skills I understand that production in Japan is ending. Then again, recent production runs must have been so small that I doubt they were still producing units in China.
