U Craft, A Minecraft Clone For Wii U, To Be Announced

By Shawn Taylor On 25 September 2014 In Wii U News

U Craft, A Minecraft Clone For Wii U, To Be Announced

Our dreams of ever seeing Minecraft come to Wii U or Nintendo 3DS are probably deflated now that Microsoft has purchased Mojang, the developer behind the phenomenal success of the open-world sandbox game. However, there may be hope yet for the Steves and Creepers of the world: U Craft.

U Craft is supposedly an upcoming Minecraft clone in development for the Wii U, and will be officially revealed tomorrow. Except, the anonymous developer behind U Craft won’t be the ones doing the revealing; that is a task for Operation Sparticus.

Operation Sparticus (yes, spelled with an “i” for some reason) is a movement where a series of developers individually reveal details about U Craft in lieu of its actual, anonymous developer. The first honors will go to Wii U indie developer Hullbreach, who will release the first alpha images of U Craft, the company announced in a press release today. Who will be making future announcements about the game, and when, are unknown.

Why all the mystery? Your guess is as good as ours. But a Minecraft clone would be a warm welcome on Wii U. Even Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto expressed interest in seeing Minecraft‘s gameplay make its way to the Wii U GamePad.

Stay locked to Nintendo News for all the details as this story develops.

Mojang clearly had no desire to do it, so if anything, I kind of think that Microsoft buying Mojang makes it more likely for Minecraft to eventually turn up on Nintendo systems. At least with Good Guy Phil running things.

They'll have to sue themselves for distributing Fortress Craft through XBILG first.

Ninty should get more resolute, hire that indie as first or second party (or third exclusive) and make it develop Super Mario Mine!

There are tons of developers out there that make Minecraft clones, and there are quite a few on the Windows Store alone.

I'm not worried about the future of this project.
