No, I think the Wii U port is worth doing.

There is a large casual audience there and its growing. Yet a Vita port was done and that platform looks pretty much dead.

Worth doing for whom?
Depends who will pay for the port imho.
If Ms, than no
If Nintendo, than yes

4J Studios has handled all the console ports.

Perhaps they can handle the Nintendo ports as well.

Too bad, this game will sell a ton if it can just make it to the system.


Minecraft would sell a ton - IMO, one of Nintenso s biggest mistakes this generation is not getting Minecraft on its consoles-  

they are losing and-or splitting many young gamers and missing many more altogether -  there will be many parents buying 1st consoles for their kids this holiday w the primary stipulation that it has to have Minecraft-  there will be more adding to or replacing a Nintendonconsole this holiday because it does not have Minecraft-     The pull of the whole Minecraft ecosystem from the game, videos, merchandise, mods etc. Has been a huge pull/attractor of younger and up coming gamers.

A single dev bankrupting himself just for the theoretical chance of sales, when only 50 people supported his KickStarter? No way is that worth it.

Agreed. But this would do well too. That is why cheap games are doing so well on Wii U. Digital games that are close to what they get from mobile games.


It does seem like they are giving these really cheap games, often very low quality (50cents on sale, $1-$4 +- reg price) a chance to see how they will do and try to get a piece of the mobile game market -  how it will work or if it will dilute the regular games they sell will be interesting to see

They were in talks to introduce Minecraft on the Wii U & 3DS to Japan when Microsoft bought Mojang.

Who knows maybe Mixrosoft will still let the, in Japan - doubtful but who knows-

Its a shame. I didn't even know they had a kickstarter. I would have bought a copy if I saw it on the eshop, but I don't trust kickstarter anymore.
