Nexis Games is Developing U Craft, a Minecraft Clone, for the eShop

Aiming for before Christmas
In recent days a game called U Craft was partially announced, a title described as a "Minecraft clone"; in the absence of Mojang's title on Wii U — which is surely even less likely since Microsoft acquired the company — this is clearly aiming to fill that gap. In the absence of a named developer, however, we were uncomfortable reporting on the project.
We can now reveal that the developer of this title is Nexis Games; the developer recently made its début on Wii U with BrickBlast U!, of which we were very critical in our review, and is also working on another project called Dance of the Damned. The screenshot above is the latest in-progress image, and the developer has informed us that he hopes — but can't promise with 100% certainty — to release U Craft before Christmas this year.
It's undoubtedly an ambitious project for such a small and relatively inexperienced studio; the proof, as always, will be in the final game.
Are you intrigued by this project or concerned that it won't have the necessary building blocks for a solid foundation? Let us know.
How do you think this will turn out?
