One of the more interesting Wii U games revealed back in 2014 was Project Giant Robot, allowing players to bulldoze through environments as large mecha. It now appears that the company has since cancelled the game. Thanks to Polygon, we now know that the game has sadly been dropped from production and that the last Wii U game release will be Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If I am honest, I am not entirely surprised by this news. Nintendo doesn't really have a history of doing mecha games and these types of games aren't at all as straightforward to develop as many may assume.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be the last Nintendo-made game for the Wii U after all. If you were holding onto hope that the quirky Project Giant Robot would still grace the system, it was in vain. As Polygon reports, the build-your-own battle-bot demo has been scrapped and won't see the light of day. A representative said that the decision was made "after considering our overall product and development strategy." Considering that Nintendo showed the game off to press exactly once back in 2014 and it hasn't been seen since, this probably shouldn't come a much of a surprise.

Nintendo has confirmed that "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will be the last first-party game to be made available for the Wii U. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime confirmed the news sometime after the launch of the Switch console last Friday. "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 told Polygon. "We really are at the end of life for Wii U." The game is scheduled to be released on March 3 alongside the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Wii U was first released back in November 2012, just a year before Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One were launched. Even with its one year head start, the Wii U failed to meet sales expectations becoming the company's worst-selling console.
