Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be Nintendo’s final first-party game on Wii U

Speaking with Polygon, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime has confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be the publisher’s last first-party game on the Wii U.

“From a first-party standpoint, there’s no new development coming after the launch of the legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” Fils-Aime said.

“We really are at the end of life for Wii U.”

This really comes as no surprise; the Nintendo Switch portable home console — alongside Zelda: Breath of the Wild — hits store shelves on 3 March.

We previewed Breath of the Wild earlier in the week.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
