Nikkei article wasn't an announcement
from the company and that Nintendo plans
to continue production in the next
fiscal year and beyond so is the
Nintendo Wii U on its way out well yeah

tay that used artificial intelligence to
talk like a millennial and it only took
15 hours for the internet to turn poor

offensive tweets with her own commentary
which involved using emojis and making
jokes Microsoft has since deleted the
