A rumour is circulating the internet that Minecraft could possibly coming to the Wii U, according to an undisclosed retail source. The game is apparently under development by Mojang and is expected to coincide with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Minecraft release during summer 2014. Minecraft creator Notch has been contacted by NeoGAF to verify this rumour.

Cross play with 3ds? Yes or yes?
Impossible! 3DS cant run the full version, only mobile version!
The 3DS could run it in 3D @240p without breaking a sweat. Maybe you have seen Kid icarus or Reident evil revelations?
The 3ds doesn’t have enough controls. It would either need circlepad pro or your place with the touch screen and move with the circle pad. It would be similar to kid Icarus uprising controls. It would be cool because it could be in 3d but the controls would be a pain.
TE TOUCH SCREEN ABLITERATES ANY OTHER CONTROL SYSTEM YOU HAVE MENTIONED YOU FOOL
A SECOND TACTILE REAL TIME TOUCHSCREEN CONBINED WITH ANALOG AND BUTTONS
THAT IS VASTLY SUPPERIOR TO KEYBOARD AND MOUSE
VASTLY SUPERIOR TO XPAD
VASTLY SUPERIOR TO DUALSHOCK
ARE YOU A MORON CASUAL WHO DOESNT UNDERSND CONTROLS
WIIU AND WII AND DS ARE BY FAR THE MOST SUITEDANDEXPANDING CONTROLS MINEGRAFT COULD EVER HAVE
YOU BRAIN DEAD IDIOT
Buy Lady Gaga’s new album ARTPOP.
I would buy lady gaga for the price of a CD. Otherwise scram!
I LOVE YOU LADY GAGA!!!! LeeeaHLeeeaHLEEEahLEEE!!!
I already have it on PC and PS3, so I won’t be buying it for a 3rd time :/
Why did you buy it twice (in the first place)?
I bought it on PC in 2011. I bought it again because trophies and I can play with friends.
What if its only $10 on the e-shop? Or what if they made it free if you have the PC version? Just sign in with it lol.
AND LOL AT PLAYING IT ON THOSE OBSOLETE CLUNKY FUCKING HORRIBLE CONTROLLERS
MINDLESS CASUAL YOU LIKELY FPS ON DUAL ANOLOGS TOO
FILTHY CASUAL
You must be a PC Gamer. PC Fanboys are not welcome here.
ARTPOP
Megalithic symphony is better than lady gaga.
Opinions
To me one is a shitty artist, the other a shitty band.
. As of November 2013, she had sold an estimated 24 million albums and 125 million singles worldwide and her singles are some of the best-selling worldwide.[2][3] Her achievements include five Grammy Awards and 13 MTV Video Music Awards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga Your faves could never.
Lil Wayne has Sold More than Gaga, by youre logic hes a better artist.
But we all know hes trash, same as gaga.
Your* Obviously he’s sold more than her because he’s been around or almost 20 years and has released lots of albums, Gaga’s been around just 5 years and has released 4 albums.. Anyway, Gaga’s won 200+ awards, he doesn’t even have 100, and Gaga has 5 grammys, he has 4. I don’t mind him at all, it’s just quite funny how people like you bash someone who’s bank account is bigger than your will ever be, and your favorite’s artist as well. You need to learn how to respect other people’s work. We all know you’re pressed and delusional.
And to the other person who mentioned KISS, who’s even talking about them? bye d00d
My favorite artist? LMMFAO!! These trash artist? Oh please, continue to buy the music of these “great” musicians that you so adore, her account might be bigger than might, and honestly I care, I rather be faceless than be disrespected for the things I do. Specially when the things she does are mediocre, by all means though, continue to support this artist that will eventually hit rock bottom and become faceless in the years to come.
*Her account might be bigger than mine, and I honestly dont care.
Fuck lady gaga, Hottest band in the word KISS!!!!!!!!!!!! Got into Rock&Roll Hall of fame and they are reuniting with original members. Kiss has sold over 150 million albums worldwide and is the band that has most gold albums in America.
Buy ARTPOP, KISS in my ass, its famous.
Katy perry slays! Buy PRISM!!!
this guy gets it
Thank you!!!
buy monstercat’s album awakening!
You are all dark sided, praying for popdivas. They are evil, dark spirits are in them, dark sided people I say! Don’t buy albums they are helping satan, the only one the bLack lord of evil.The only one and the truuth is JESUS. You people need to clean your spirits!! Before its late.. I SAY
Jesus is my virtue and Judas is the demon I cling to.
Your gonna hear me roar!!!
Degenerates
Pressed?
I live for the applause applause applause, i live for the applause-plause live for the applause-plause
Minecraft in Wii U would blow away all the other versions¡
Why? If it is true then it would be the same thing as the other console versions..
It would be the best if they actually used all the wiiu features. Touch inventory and pad item making? Yes please.
Imagine not only the game pad usage but also using the Wii mote. I’m not a huge fan of minecraft, but then again I haven’t played it. Is it really that good? (not trying to start a flame war)
It’s good in the fact that it has an endless replay value. That and the game is well developed. It’s a good example of a game being good because it relies on it’s game-play as apposed to the “graphics” It’s constantly being updated adding new features and items and it has multiplayer and to top it all off, it’s extremely affordable and there’s no DLC (PC), unless you count the console skin packs, but that’s another story.
It is awesome, ESPECIALLY if they add online multiplayer and map sharing so you can share your creations with others. Plus, the game gets new content all the time. Not little things, but new worlds, items, creatures, etc.
No. Off-TV Play, and crafting on the Gamepad with touch screen drag and dropping. Plus not having to pause your character while building stuff. It might be the same version as PS4 and Xbox One. But better then PS3 and Xbox 360 Versions.
You fail to realize the greatness of the Gamepad… Minecraft would be the best on Wii U.
Just like Batman, Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell, Injustice were best on Wii U because of the GamePad? Right? RIGHT?!
From what I heard from my friends who played those games they enjoyed them.
Cool… That has no relevance to my comment though.
I was about to say that haa
They enjoyed the gamepad controls so obviously it added to the games.
Cause those games are the types of games that actually have a use for the Gamepad…Injustice…come on now, the Gamepad has no purpose in that. AC and SC are Ubifail, they wont bother to optimize their games for Wii U. And Arkham Origins was shit. Rocksteady was better. Origins also was lazy devs.
Injustice for Wii U actually was better if you gave that gamepad to rookie player who didn’t knew special moves.
Arkhum City Armoured edition had fantastic gamepad use, so did Splinter cell. AC3/4 and Injustice just had off tv play really… AC3’s map was very handy. It’s annoying having to pause all the time on AC4 on my ps4 compared to AC3 on My Wiiu.
Just batman, assassin’s creed and splinter cell has great gamepad use and the only good game is batman though
But we talk about Minecraft, why do u compare a strategy game with some action games?
if they launch maps with hyrule and mushroom kingdom that version will be great.
He’ll ya
Could be possible, as long as Nintendo Publishes or funds the port. The touch screen would make the vita and Wii U the better versions (if done right) but the Wii U the more powerfull of the 2 would be the definitive console version.
Vita? Wtf does the Vita have to do with Nintendo?
Everything on this site doesn’t have to do with Nintendo ya dope. He was just saying that the Vita and Wii U gamepad have touch screens that could work well with Minecraft… geeze.
This is exactly what I meant, thanks P!nk.
Welcome, lol!!!
He said Nintendo and publishing, so I was thinking he made a mistake and meant to say 3DS instead of Vita. Though why anyone brings up the Vita nowadays is beyond me. Shoes from the 1900’s sell better then that failure.
Vita is picking up steam. It’s a greateice of tech.
Read again, you might understand it.
(In case you arent aware, Minecraft has been confirmed for vita)
Alright!
“IF” it’s the updated version, yes. Otherwise I already own it on the PC and 360. A 3ds version on the otherhand would be more than welcome.
What updated version? Xbone and ps4 are just getting the PC version.
Xbox One and PS4 aren’t getting the most current PC version. Doesn’t have basically infinite world size, as well as with mods and such PC version is still the best.
Wii U version would destroy the PC version, because…. gamepad.
lets hope the gamepad is what this game needs….. Now make my dream game a new four swords zelda but like diablo
There have been rumours of it coming to everything… I fail to see hour this is news
Because this one rumor seems to ACTUALLY be legit.
Yaay, a game that’s been out for years and is best played with a mouse… >.< But fine, if people actually want this, I'll let them have it.
“I’ll let them have it” yeah like if people needed an anonymous approval before buying a game that hasn’t even been confirmed for the wii u yet.
It was an expression like ”more power to them” or ”good for them”… I’m not THAT full of myself :P And I already have a bazillion accounts and I do not want another.
It makes too much sense for them not to do it.
It would be a first that a developer makes something that has sense in the industry.
IF it is then i will buy if not then im staying away from minecraft for the rest of my life
“No, for absolutely bullshit reasons.”
watch this happen.
Much like Tomb Raider.
You’re welcome! If this game will use the Gamepad really good, maybe online gameplay, it will be a buy for me
One of the most overrated games ever made.
Who cares. It will just be a 360 port.
Or it will be based on the Xbox One version?
It needs to be a version specifically for the Wii U because of you know…the gamepad.
*sigh* That damn GamePad…
lmao. I know, but they have to start somewhere right?
The Gamepad is what will make the Wii U version the best lol!
And there goes the first negative nancy.
Negativity and Positivity are needed to keep the world in balance.
That is one of the most ridiculous thing I have ever read.
What dailyexposer said is very true. If you disagree, you’re a fucking idiot.
says the fucking idiot.
Ignoring killing is a negativity how is that needed to keep the world balanced?
Yes GTA is.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not getting my hypes up, though it would work awesomely with the gamepad.
NO! Nintendo doesn’t need any lousy instant game from the app store
on their consoles!
It’s a good game…
Whats his face from Mojang said before that the Wii U was as likely to get Minecraft as Playstation. So Playstation has it, Wii U should unless he lied or changed his mind.
The goddamn Vita is getting Minecraft… I think Wii U deserves it JUST for that.
He said they would consider Playstation, and that Wii U was very unlikely…
Hello, Cornilius. How are you today?
GOOD ! Just finished playing AC4 online. Got prestige 4 ! I,m really good right now. finished 1st place in 6 out of 8 deathmatch.
God damn! You have no fucking life!!!
Lol I dont understand… I worked my 8h30 today… and did my 2 hours gym after… I just had 1 fucking hour to play on my Wii U. YOU SUCK AT PRETENDING !
Lol! he fell into my trap.
Nah, I’m just messing with you man. You’re still an asshole.
Yeah and I shit on your face because youre a fucking WHORE !!!!!!!!!!! lol

Did some digging and the information comes from a reliable source and sounds legit. Also, the original poster of the article on Nintendo Enthusiast said he made a mistake saying that Mojang has the dev kits. He “assumed” Mojang got the dev kits, because the source claimed “the studio” has received Wii U dev kits. He did not know 4J was the creator of the console versions of Minecraft.
I am officially excited. It seems to be real (99% probability!).
Minecraft will be a perfect fit with the Gamepad, guess I’ll get this on Vita and Wii U when it releases for them.

Most of those rumors didn’t have a single leg to stand on while this one does.
gta5 did… reggie said himself hopefully they do a next gen port..
That was unfortunate and you know what I think? GTAV “was” coming to Wii U and was perhaps even in the early stages of development, but did not pull through, because the Wii U was going down hill at the time (and still isn’t up to snuff). If Wii U was selling like Nintendo wanted, I guarantee that GTAV would have come to Wii U as well.
Metro was coming but got canceled and destiny had that hidden preorder thing on his website code for wiiu.
Those are just unfortunate. THIS rumor won’t be :D
1) got cancelled
2)still can
4)never was a rumor
3&5)i’ll give you that one
6)its a huge chance it would
Battlefield 4 was actually coming to wiiu but ea got butthurt and decided not to make it same has crysis 3.
but, be honest. Would Battlefield 4 have sold on Wii U?-No, I wouldn’t have bought it and most other Wii U owners would not have bought it.
EA made the right decision whether you like the company or not.
No they did not made the best decision. It would only count has a good decision if they had brought bf3 to wiiu and even with that it would not have made sense.
Metro was coming to Wii U at one point in time. I doubt Destiny was ever rumored. GTA5, BF4, and TR could have easily came to Wii U if it wasn’t for lousy developers. And this could very well be legit…
Thats a Good game for the wiiu most of the minecraft players are kids why not bring it to Wiiu where the Kiddos at ;)

I do not care one way or the other.
But if it does not come to Wii U, the excuse would be hilarious.
Between the candidates as good as “low install base” and “not our core audience”.
They would not pull the good old “not powerful enough”, if they wish to be taken seriously again.
Its a lie, it would be developed by 4J studios, not Mojang.
The original rumor actually says the dev kits were sent to the “developer” NOT Mojang. The person who made the article thought Mojang made the console versions and made the mistake of saying so.
There is so far no reason to discount this rumor aside from it not being confirmed by Mojang, Nintendo or 4J themself.
Actually, the source of this rumor has a great track record for rumors.
But 4j would never develope outside of Xbox console cuz that a Microsoft studio.
Who ever is doing the PS4 and Vita version could be doing the Wii U version.
Not my type of game, but definitely something the Wii U can use.
I’m not interested in Minecraft, but I really hope they’re making a Wii U version of the game.
I’m all for this, but honestly, who would prefer playing Minecraft on a console over a PC
Same!
id do both :3
If this doesn’t happen…this is war…..
to be honest, a WiiU version of Minecraft could be excellent, giving they really dedicate time to it, not to mention the Gamepad is just perfect for that
also, i think is pretty easy to bring it to WiiU, since is simple to port java based applications to WiiU
Wiiu dont support Java ;)#Exposed.
Nintendo has sent out kits to developers and everything… #ExposedCountered #HashtagsAreLame
it does, read the HTML5 project(being able to port java and iOS apps via html5)
double exposed idiot
I surely hope so, I also like the fact Bender is in that picture.
Fuck that, give us Terraria and Star bound.
Why can’t we have all 3?
Idk, after playing Terraria I stopped playing Minecraft. It is an all around addicting game and a LOT to craft.
I personally would LOVE Terrairia, and if this Minecraft rumor is true then it could lead the developers behind Terrairia to develop for the Wii U soon after. Think about it.
Minecraft (a similar, but not so similar game to Terrairia) does really well on Nintendo’s console. Soon, fans realize this and start a campaign to get Terrairia on Wii U. Normally, they would right off the console as non-profitable, but they see that Minecraft sold and the audience for Minecraft is similar to their game.
With Minecraft comes other great 3rd party games, including Terrairia.
Please make this happen, My PC is too weak to run MC…
So basically the Wii U is the only next gen console that keeps developers challenged while the X86 twins are for lazy developers who let’s the hardware do all the work not giving a damn how much gigs, cores or ram it takes up as long as it has 1080p 60fps they can sell the game ASAP to earn money ASAP and bring patches later.
I Wish this were true but my intuition says they arn’t making it oh well i hope i’m dead wrong! but more than likely i’m not.
I’m pretty sure he laughed like the first 1000 times he was asked this so don’t get your hopes up.
He might have laughed, because people were going CRAZY over the idea and that is amusing.
I’ll definitely get it on my Wii U if it’s announced. I really don’t see why they wouldn’t make it, people have been asking, petitioning and all that and have gotten noticed, and the Wii U can definitely handle the game.. so i see no reason why they’d say no to it.
It’d be nice, but I’m not getting my hopes up with how 3rd parties treat Nintendo. But it’s a nice thought.
PPL WHO PLAY THAT MESS HAVE MENTAL PROBLEMS
Well the Wii U will actually give it some unique controllers than neither the PS4, Xbox 720p or the PC can give.
Why are some of you complaining about Minecraft’s likely arrival on the Wii U? Minecraft is a popular and well-liked game…something the Wii U (or any console, for that matter) needs. Lots of people would buy this. The GamePad seems like it would greatly compliment this type of game, too. Minecraft on the Wii U would be great.
They are just buttheads who are worried that Minecraft will outshine Nintendo products on Nintendo’s own console. Actually, more like hipsters who hate how mainstream and popular the game is. I’m not kidding, I have heard people say that they hate Minecraft, BECAUSE it is “overrated.” Yet these same people are also the ones who have NEVER played it lol!
Some people just LOVE to go against the grain even when they are fighting a good thing.
I KNOW RIGHT
We all know it would make sense, Gamepad is to perfect for this game.
If the rumor turns out to be true, I’ll be very happy. There’s more potential than usual for the gamepad’s utilization with Minecraft, and this is the game that could not only move units, but single-handedly pull the Wii U out of it’s rut.
Notch doesn’t work on the game anymore.
Jeb does.
The company have no reason to not bring it. Heck even I would buy this.
What they should do as well is make the online cross platform so that you can play the game with friends who have the other consoles.
The gamepad could be used for all kinds like an inventory, combining things – the hardware would be perfect.
so would i
Might finally get it if it comes to Wii U. Not too eager to hop on the bandwagon though….
I bet the 3ds browser will get it first.
Disgusting but if it becomes a system seller then so be it…
But I am almost certain that it won’t come…
Indeed Minecraft sells well, but won’t be a Wii U System seller.
Damn I really hope so. The system seems so perfect for it, with both touch controls, joystick controls, and the ability to have mouse and keyboard controls.
I’ll be honest, as much fun as the PC version is, I think a Wii U version could top it.
me toooo

They should put minecraft on wii u because the gamepad is awesome and at least after xbox 1 ps4 and 4j studios
I would love Minecraft on the Wii U, for one the controls would be amazing, second, why would Notch mis an oppritunity on making money ( look at all the posotive comments about it) and lastly, the Wii U has enough power to run the game efficently. So why not just make it for the Wii U?
i want to buy a new karaoke player. i’m just wondering if there is a difference in sound quality with the different brands.. could you tell me which are are better brands?.
Reblogged this on Minecraft 18.
Notch i am a good fan of Minecraft, but hear me out right now. Do you know how much money you can make? You also know that you want your game to be the most popular in the world? Just think of it.
