The days of dreaming of a blocky Super Mario are over! Minecraft: WiiU Edition is getting the Super Mario treatment! Here's the official announcement:

Nintendo is partnering with Mojang and Microsoft to bring the imaginative worlds of the Super Mario series and Minecraft together. For the first time ever, players will be able to fend off blocky Hammer Bros. and Dry Bones the same way they do Creepers and Zombies.

​

This Super Mario Mash-Up Pack update includes Mario-themed skins, music, item textures, and inspired by Super Mario series games, such as Super Mario World, Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.

The digital version of the game will get the free Mario Mash-Up Pack update on May 17. The retail version lands June 17, priced at $29.99, and with the Super Mario Mash-up Pack included in the disc.

Oh great the NX is really the Nintendo virtual console plus a vgamecube, vwii and vwii-u added to the Xbox one in an update. Sarcasm

 

[Nyap]

all I see is a nintendo-mojang collab

Is this only skins and music, or does it actually add new types of items/blocks as well? It's cool to see Nintendo do something like this though, especially if it's a free update to existing owners.

What are the chances of someone porting/recreating the map and texture pack to the PC version of Minecraft?

It's interesting, but not worth playing Patches-behindcraft on my Wii U.

Curious as well. I don't have any of the console versions, I'd rather the PC version because it's vastly superior.

Oh man, this is like one of those April Fools articles, except this one is completely legit.

I'm not personally a fan of Minecraft, but I can see this DLC selling like hotcakes.

That's great! Sadly, I won't be able to get it because I don't have any money left in my eShop Wallet...

They were going to but, 3ds can't handle it. Minecraft is actually a resource heavy game.
