The Wii U[nb 1] is a game console developed by Nintendo. Released in 2012, the Wii U is a successor to the Wii and was part of the eighth generation of video game consoles, and competed primarily with Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One. One Animal Crossing game was released on the Wii U: Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. Additionally, a free social application, Animal Crossing Plaza, was released, Animal Crossing: Wild World was re-released on the Virtual Console, and Animal Crossing crossover content is featured in Nintendo Land and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
The Wii U sold a total of 13.56 million units[2], and is often considered by many media outlets as a commercial failure. It was discontinued in January 2017,[1] and shared its last first-party game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with its successor, the Nintendo Switch, on March 3, 2017.
