Wii本体の修理受付終了に関するお知らせ

Nintendo announced that it will end repair services for the Wii console in Japan on March 31, 2020.

Nintendo will no longer accept Wii consoles for repair after the end of March. The reason for this is due to their shortage of repair components for the console. This applies to the Wii console [RVL-001], including all colors.

There may be cases before its end of service date where repairs won’t be possible due to the lack of certain components. Nintendo apologizes for any inconvenience and asks for your understanding on the matter.

Hopefully, there would still be a lot of independent 3rd-party repair shops which can repair the Wii after March 2020.

Yeah I would imagine independent 3-third party stores taking over the market for Wii repairs!

I know there is tons of repair videos on youtube, the person just has to be brave to do so.
