Zelda: Breath of the Wild is Wii U's final first-party game, says Reggie

GN Version 5.0

Coming from a Polygon interview with Reggie Fils-Aime...

“From a first-party standpoint, there's no new development coming after the launch of the legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We really are at the end of life for Wii U. From our standpoint, sunsetting is quite some time into the future. The ongoing activity from an online standpoint on [Mario] Kart and Splatoon is significant. We're going to continue to support that.”

It seems that Nintendo is eager to move on from the Wii U, which still confuses some consumers to this day.

“Even today when I ask people, ‘so what was Wii U all about?,’ I get a wide variety of responses. In managing the business, that's just not good.”
