Minecraft on Wii U!? 'very unlikely' says Mojang, 'Possibly' on Playstation

[ShadowSoldier]

At least it's better than the iOS/Android versions. They just got armor in the last update.

Yeah, Minecraft was indie. Mojang (and their creations) are not.

Notch doesn't even do Minecraft anymore. This has nothing to do with Notch. Hell, even the quoted part of the OP says who said it, which is the current lead dev of the PC version.

But the discussion is Minecraft, so I suppose it's too much to ask people to do anything other than mindlessly hate?

Take out notch in my post and the post still stands.

No it doesn't, because you're lumping statements from different people together. Also the 360 edition is a port by 4J or whoever.

I mean the part of Nintendo going third party and this somehow, magically swaying third party devs and indie devs away from the WiiU... which it won't.

Oh, yeah. Minecraft's already proven itself as a start-indie success so it's not like people are shocked by it's movements... and now that it's gotten stable it's looking into doing that same type of stuff you'd expect from consoles (built-in server hosting over LAN already exists, they're developing integrated paid hosting), nothing surprising.

It's got high computational requirements (lighting can't be done purely on the GPU since it's a gameplay mechanic that servers need to keep track of too) so it's not surprising it won't be on systems with a weaker CPU (which normally wouldn't impact games too much).

I don't think anyone really cares, anyone who want's the game already bought it years ago on the PC or the 360.

Oh good, no one wanted a shitty Minecraft port anyways. If you're not playing Minecraft on a PC, then you're doing it wrong.

Might wanna read this. I thought it was a pretty decent article.

Sorry but I'm not going to read a site that has NO reputable source.

Ya because that would suck ass if you got your facts straight, wouldn't it?

The one and only time I will agree a game is better on a PC.

I'm sorry to hear that you're too lazy to read an article and look at another point of view.

But whatever, continue spouting stupid shit, like how Nintendo is apparently going to go 3rd party despite the current success of the 3DS launch, and how well games like New Leaf, and Fire Emblem are doing.

I get my facts from reputable sites. Thanks.

Where do you think they started out? They started out as nothing too.

Your facts are wrong.

I don't doubt the success of New leaf or fire emblem, in fact I think if anything Nintendo should be going strictly handheld. That's how they started right? Maybe that's the perfect market for them at the moment. If they aren't going to invest the time into approaching 3rd party devs and just wait for them to flock to their doors, forget it. These devs aren't going to bother with them. And that's what's happening. If you think for one second that there is no NO CHANCE nintendo will ever go 3rd party or Go out of business, You are gullible. BUT I don't doubt Sony would NEVER stop making games, if anything their last generation was HORRID in sales. I was actually thinking there wouldn't be a PS4. Microsoft.. no. From the richest guy in the world at one point funding this thing, (the guy was funding the fucking president at one point) I'm sure Microsoft will never go out of business.. and this is coming from a guy who does NOT own a 360, and hates the fucking console to pieces.

Give me a break... Please. All websites start as nothing. That website is obviously just starting. I'm getting my facts from actual sales and figures, NOT opinion pieces.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I like how people think that statements by industry "analyst" Michael Pachter and the "developer" Cliffy B are basis for a counterargument. Pachter is mostly wrong and Cliffy B is a fucktard.

You stating Nintendo going third party has nothing to do with sales and figures dummy. You're wrong. Get over it.

What are you talking about dude? There's a lot of third party titles on the WiiU and there's more to come. So what, a shitty game not coming to the WiiU means they are doomed? As stated before, a bunch of developers and indie devs already praised the WiiU and have released fantastic indie games on the eShop already.

Nintendo has more money in their game division than Sony and Microsoft do. Hell, Sony had to sell one of it's studios to pay off debt. And also, Nintendo didn't start handheld, they started home console. Get your head out of your ass, open your eyes and stop blowing things out of proportion. You're as bad as Pachter and Cliff B. And those are some retarded people who have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to Nintendo.

But even then, you're blowing this way out of proportion considering it's ONE game that's YEARS old that NOBODY cares about and makes a big deal out of it anymore. It doesn't even say that it would come to the PS3/PS4.
And like I said, it's one game, it doesn't hurt Nintendo at all.

Even though I'm a huge Minecraft fan, I'm not really disappointed at all. The PC version is, and will always be vastly superior. The Xbox version is a joke, being more than a year behind the PC version in terms of content, and a Wii U version would just be more of the same.
