Wii U Will Still Be Available, No Recall, According to Nintendo

Wii U will continue to be available in stores, Nintendo confirms.

Nintendo has already verified that the 8GB Wii U model will still be in stores, after a popular retailer in US, Gamestop, sent messages to stores that all the Wii U hardware needs to be recalled by June 18. According to Kotaku website, the source of the information is reliable and GameStop contacted stores with the message,

"Nintendo Wii U Basic Recall - Two Week Preparation On Tuesday, 6/18, all stories [sic] 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."

To answer that recall issue that was going on, the senior director of corporate communications for Nintendo of America, Charlie Scibetta, gave a statement to IGN.

"There is a current misperception about Wii U hardware. To clarify: Nintendo is working with its retail partners to simply rebalance the stock of the White 8GB and the Black 32GB Wii U models in the market. Consumers looking for either model will continue to find them available."

Wii U is currenty available in the market in two models, the basic bundle which has an 8GB capacity, and the premium model with 32 GB internal storage that comes with a Nintendo Land copy. The reason for the recall is not yet known and clear. However, the sales of Wii U have been slow and Nintendo keeps promising that it will help its retailers in promoting their latest game console.
