Speaking with Eurogamer, a Nintendo representative has made clear the company's intention of securing the domain, and confirmed it is now seeking legal alternatives.

"Nintendo's efforts to recover the domain name WiiU.com through a Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy administrative proceeding were unsuccessful.
