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.
