The Nintendo Wii took the world by storm all the way back in 2006 in an era where competition for Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 was seriously lacking. Given the unique nature of the Wii, which comes with a controller that’s meant to be used as a handheld pointing device that detects movement in three dimensions, the console itself was never really a like for like competitor to what Sony and Microsoft had to offer.

The console was a smash hit, selling more than 101 million consoles across seven years before being discontinued and replaced by the Wii U and then of course, the Switch. That being said though, Nintendo has announced that it will no longer be servicing damaged Wii’s in Japan and will stop accepting new units on March 31st.

According to the company, the reason for this is that it’s getting harder to secure the spare parts necessary to keep a repair program running. This surely marks the end of the interactive console, with experts predicting that repairs may stop sooner than the 31st of March if spare part stocks finish.
