It is official folks! Minecraft for Wii U has been announced today and will even feature off screen play! It comes on the eShop December 17th, and will cost 29.99USD.

We’ll have more to share on Minecraft: Wii U Edition closer to its release. Looking forward to welcoming you to the world of Minecraft, Nintendo fans!

The game will feature off-TV play, so players can keep their games going on the screen of the Wii U GamePad controller if another family member wants to watch something else on TV. The game also comes with some of the most popular current Minecraft add-on content packs:

• Battle & Beasts Skin Pack
  
• Battle & Beasts 2 Skin Pack

“With so many included add-on content packs, Minecraft: Wii U Edition brings an exciting collection of Minecraft content and experiences to Nintendo fans,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s President and COO. “Wii U players will have plenty of reasons to keep coming back to this iconic gaming experience.”

In addition to the content that comes with the game, players will also be able to expand their experience with 16 additional add-on packs available for purchase within the Nintendo eShop at launch:

Nope!
Professor Layton is my favourite gaming franchise ever, and unfortunantly there are only 6 instalments.
I think it's for the better as it makes sure it won't be milked.
What I'm hoping is a remake of Curious Village with everything they learned in the last 5 games. Curious Village hasn't aged very well :|

It's way too overpriced for that silly little game. Get armor, get weapons, go to the Nether, bla bla. They want me to pay $55 for that bullcrap. Ha-- no. $20? Oky, yes, I'll pay it. But lmao I'm not handing over that much on such a little game.

Pokemon, Minecraft? How about some Metroid News? And not that cheesy poof, modern cartoon variant either!

Preach it, brother. Metroid Prime 4 or Wii U = Dead System, in my eyes.

 

[mr. fancypants]

Well, to be fair, it's not another mario game lol.

how about a MC maker...

and about the Nether... were are the people from the Netherlands?

Mod it and come back after that :-)
The magic of minecraft is its modding community, Have you seen direwolf, pahimar, azanor, soaryn, dan200, eloraam, lexos? Brilliant people!
The technic and magic mods are endless! I haven't touched Vanilla and it's like a brand new game!

 

[KingVamp]

I wonder if Shovel Knight will work with Minecraft.

That's the thing. If I need to modify a game just to make it good, I'm not dishing out money for it. You don't understand my financial status.
