An avid Twiter user known as @kitroplious has brought to our attention that Nintendo is no longer manufacturing Classic Controllers for the Wii console. The tweet below shows a message from Club Nintendo when you attempt to redeem a download code for a game from the Wii Virtual Console service that requires a Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro.

This seems strange since most Wii VC games as well as a handful of WiiWare games that are still available for purchase on the Wii U through Wii Mode require these controllers. Does this mean that the Wii Shop's days are numbered? Please share your thoughts in our comments.

Why would Nintendo do this when so many games still require this controller? ![Wii Classic Controllers Have Been Discontinued By Nintendo 1625187496](/users/1414/12/80/00/smiles/1625187496.gif)

I hope Nintendo won't close the Wii Shop soon.
