Nintendo has signalled the “end of life” for its Wii U games console, which was first released in 2012.<\/p>\n
Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo America, told Polygon that Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would be the company’s final game for the device.<\/p>\n
“We really are at the end of life for Wii U,” he said.<\/p>\n
The Wii U struggled to match the success of the original Wii device. It will be succeeded by the Nintendo Switch console in March.<\/p>\n
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – the latest instalment in one of the best-selling game franchises of all time – was first announced in 2013.<\/p>\n
But the game has faced multiple delays and will now be released on the Wii U and Nintendo Switch simultaneously.<\/p>\n
