About this deal

Initially, the Wii U version lagged behind the other console versions but, they eventually caught it up. However, The Aquatic Update, releasing by June 2018 will be the last major update for the Wii U version. The game will still support online play but, it will no longer get the feature updates the Switch version will get.

Minecraft is effectively the first Microsoft game published on a Nintendo system. A few earlier titles based on Microsoft-owned properties were released on Nintendo handhelds but, they were published by THQ. http://idigitaltimes.com/minecraft-wii-u-mojang-coo-teases-nintendo-could-actually-still-get-minecraft-457794 Personally I'm looking forward to ARMS, Splatoon2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario Odyssey, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, not to mention several more indy titles and yes Skyrim (again). It's still pretty hard to believe we've got all of these titles coming this year with possibly other surprises at E3.

What's interesting is that, in Japan, Minecraft is not popular in the way it is in the U.S. and Europe, so we've also thought that, if we were able to do a partnership like that, it might bring opportunity to help make Minecraft more popular in Japan. The new Minecraft is here! Featuring the latest game updates like Update Aquatic, cross-platform play and access to a multitude of content through the Minecraft Marketplace. Oh, well. What did Wii U owners actually expect, realistically speaking with all that we have now experienced from third party developers? As of Patch 43, the Wii U Edition has not received new feature updates, such as Village & Pillage, Buzzy Bees, the Nether Update, Caves & Cliffs, and so on.

On November 11, 2015, PEGI accidentally leaked a rating for Minecraft: Wii U Edition. The leaked rating was removed six days later. [14] [15]

I haven't played it myself, but I have heard quite a bit about it. I think he [Takahashi] knows more about it than I do. But I like that style of game, and I look at Mario Maker as being something in a similar vein. In September 2014, Mojang Studios' Daniel Kaplan reiterated that there were no plans to bring Minecraft to the Wii U because he claimed that the user base for the Wii U was "very small". [12] This was not the case at the time of this post, as the Wii U was ahead of the Xbox One in terms of sales around the same time. Another point worth mentioning is that the online mode does not allow for in-game audio chat as of the time of writing. This is likely due to Nintendo not having its online service fully ready for the Switch yet, but it still is something to consider if you intend to be playing online with some friends. As is currently the case with Switch gaming you'll need to use your phones, tablets or computers - perhaps with one of the various free non-Nintendo apps out there - if you want to chat online while playing. Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and Nintendo Account required for online play. Not available in all countries. Internet access required for online features. Terms apply. nintendo.com/switch-online Wii U Edition featured Off-TV Play, which allowed the game to be played exclusively on the Wii U GamePad's screen. There was some limited touchscreen functionality, allowing players to select items on their hotbar, navigate through the Crafting menu, and more. When asked about whether the Wii U GamePad could be used as a second screen for full inventory management, Owen Jones stated it was not at the moment, but it would be cool. [17] The Wii U GamePad was never usable as a second screen. Mii characters were used as the player's in-game username. In addition to the Wii U GamePad, the game was also playable with the Wii U Pro Controller, the Wii Classic Controller, or the Wii Classic Controller Pro.

If I had my way, we'd be on everything. We want to continue to be available to all players, and that means being on new platforms because everyone uses something different.http://nintendolife.com/news/2014/09/wii_u_minecraft_looking_doubtful_as_dev_says_they_have_fulfilled_the_need_for_now Not sure how this can get an 8 when it's the inferior version at the more expensive price. People should not buy it as is. They just shouldn't support this insult of a port. Sloppy seconds. Emphasis on sloppy. SLIGEACH_EIRE From a technical standpoint the game does perform better than the Wii U. It has larger map sizes, an autosave feature that doesn't interrupt gameplay, and a better resolution from the increase in power. Not to mention the fact it can be taken on the road. I know this last one may seem like a copout as it's a system feature and comparing it to the 3DS is like apples to oranges in a way, but it really is a nice feature. Players of "Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition" (2017) will be able to convert their worlds to "Minecraft" (2018), but should expect the process to take some time. There is currently no way for Minecraft: Wii U Edition worlds to transfer to "Minecraft" (2018) on Nintendo Switch. Controls exemplify the standard fare for all the console versions by now, and they find intuitive and simple solutions to solve the problem of not having a keyboard and mouse. Inventory screens and menus are simple to navigate, and while you can’t rebind every button to a different action, you’re given several good control alternatives if the default isn’t to your liking. Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition doesn’t support single Joy-Con play, so if you want to play with a friend they’ll need a full controller, but this doesn’t take away too much from the fun that can be had in playing with others. Minecraft will always be a game that’s made for the keyboard and mouse, but the controller set-up sufficiently manages to cover all the bases and deliver a satisfying experience.

The bigger questions are whether Nintendo would issue an official DMCA takedown notice if Dolphin was released on Steam or truly pursue legal action—and if it did, what would happen. A ruling in either direction would have far-reaching implications for emulation, as most if not all emulators of modern game systems could likely be held in violation of the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions if Nintendo were to win the case. Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine Does put the friendly words of the Xbox division's kind director in a whole new perspective, doesn't it?I hope you also have all the other parts too if you decide to buy it then, since Infinite doesn't come right after the first game.
