 [![Wii U button replaced by Labo on official Nintendo sites](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/wiiu.jpg "Wii U button replaced by Labo on official Nintendo sites")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/wiiu.jpg)The Wii U menu button is no more on the homepage of Nintendo’s main websites.

The Wii U-specific button has been removed from the official European sites, which instead displays a Nintendo Labo button right under the Nintendo Switch category now.

It seems that Nintendo was jumping at the bit to replace the failure that is the Wii U from the lineup. While that might be the case we still want to point out the Wii U had a pretty damn fine game library and we for one own one and love it.

But the new kid on the block, Nintendo’s upcoming line of interactive build-and-play experiences, the Labo series, is set to launch on April 20, with pre-orders available now at multiple locations.

Let’s just hope that does well!
