What's this minecraft craze all about? really I have no idea what you do in the game, what's it all about??????!

Something was lost in translation here. I was basically saying the opinions on VGC do not at all represent the opinions of the average gamer. This would still be true if there were a lot more xbox fans here.That is why the poll is hilarious. lolol

Think 21st century LEGOs with zombies and resource gathering thrown in.

yeah i realized that after i posted it. i even changed my second word "but" to "and" because of that but you quoted my old text

Mine shit. Build shit.

It's fun, but heavily overrated in my opinion. The amount of mineable materials available and their uses are pretty shitty, Runescape does it far better. Combat is unbalanced, mechanics aren't explained at all and there's still a lot of things that need ironing out, especially multiplayer and server browsing.

Nintendo really has alienated the entire Western development community.

I'm suspecting a couple reasons this game is "very unlikely" to hit the Wii U.

It writes to harddrive constantly. Nintendo are sticklers about writing to the NAND memory in the Wii/Wii U too often. They didn't go for real solid state drive memory, because they're cheapskates, so the memory in Wii U will be worn out much too quickly if a game wrote to it too often.

Avoiding this I assume would take some major restructuring of the game.

Another thing would be the online component, on which a lot of the game's popularity hinges. Nintendo would NOT want to supply servers, and setting up the payment system for Mojang to do so through the Wii U seems arduous.

Since Mojang became a registered Nintendo developer? Well, I'm not sure they are, but why wouldn't they be, they are certainly qualified and it doesn't cost anything.

Blackberry Pi edition is more important.

Minecraft is truly a game for people with far too much times on their hands.

As much as I consider Minecraft garbage, Nintendo needs to make more of an effort to get popular games like this.
