My "brand new" wii u is version 5.5.5

[GBAtemp]

Hi, I bought a Japanese wii u that was advertised as brand new unopened in original packaging. When i got it it certainly looks brand new, had to set up a user account and go through the first time set up. Box is perfect condition, manuals, console and controller shows absolutely no wear or use. But is is version 5.5.5 which was released in 2021 where as the wii u ended production in 2017.

So, did i get ripped off as it is not brand new?
