Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Minecraft officially announced for Wii U

Kresnik on 07 December 2015

Well, this seems a big deal.

Having seem what Minecraft did for Vita (sustained it in Japan and easily its best seller; seems like consistently top-selling game in Europe), this could definitely help Wii U. That said, the price seems... pricey.

Nintendo would be crazy not to push for Amiibo support and perhaps exclusive blocks/items inspired by Nintendo games as well.

Yup, I agree. And I really think they are going to do it.

Why anyone would play MC on anything but PC is beyond me.

I didn't say games made by Nintendo I said games on their console. And Nintendo are actually the worst culprit.  It's like the publishers know most of the fanbase are hardcore gamers thirsty for new titles due to the lack of releases and take advantage of that.  

False, Iwata before his dead said most of the people with a WiiU had another gaming system, so those hardcore gamers with a single wiiu are actually a minority, making multiplatforms hard to sell there.

And Nintendo the worst culprit... why? I paid 32€ for Splatoon, 36 for Yoshi, 40 for SMM and 50 for Xenoblade Chronicles X this year. All complete and polished games without expensive dlcs to complete what should be already in the game. Can you tell me why is that so expensive on a gaming industry where you have to paid sometimes + 100$ (SWBattlefront) or even more (Evolve), or even pay several times for a single game (FFVII remake) to have a relatively complete experience?


No its very much true.  launch wii u games still going for ridiculous standard prices.  You cant use a deal as an example. 

 

Battlefield 4 launched on ps4 and of 2013,  long after many wii u games that are still very high could be got for $18 last month.  And that's the premium edition.  $100 worth of content along with many free updates.  

Battlefield 4 is the best warfare shooter on consoles so far this gen.  If Nintendo made it and it was wii u exclusive they'd be selling the vanilla game for $40 at least.  

 

And I see you brought up evolve.  The whole package can be bought for nothing.  Playstation and xbox have sufficient competition between the games so they dont get ripped off if they don't want.  Prices always dramatically drop.

Yay! Im pretty happy with this news. And glad its coming before Christmas!!!!!
Now my brother can stop going on the PC to play this!
Amiibo compatibility will be good as well. Where it gives you some skins and maybe new blocks.



Pocky Lover Boy!

That's because Nintendo games are still great even 1 year after their release. After one year is passed and a new fps with better graphics is released, Battlefield is worth nothing :)
