'Minecraft' creator says no plans for a Wii U version

4.4
Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson addressed recent rumors Friday that a Wii U version of the popular open-world sandbox game was in the works. While he did put the kibosh on the rumor, he did leave a glimmer of hope for owners of the Nintendo console.

"I am not aware of any plans to release a Wii U version of Minecraft," Persson stated on Twitter account.

This is true, and now the people on ps3 have it too so there really is no need for this.

I agree they should focus more on the next gen side of things, and the future of that.

It would be quite funny to see Minecraft on the Wii-U.

Potion Kind of upsetting i was really looking forward to seeing minecraft on the Wii-U it might have been the game to save the console.


Well the possibility of the game coming to the console in the future isn't ruled out. They just aren't planning to at the moment

Mc-Lovin Nintendo is dying out :/

They could really do with a big game such as minecraft :)


Well seeming that the Wii U sold more than the Xbox One last week and the 3DS is currently the best selling console of this generation i wouldn't quite say that they are dying out.


Wii is inexpensive and can't play games at the quality PS4 and Xbox one can, how ever the games it does play have great game-play quality and tons of fun. For a casual to avid gamer a Wii U is perfect but for hardcore shooter gamers it will be a Xbox one or PS4, I own all three consoles and rarely play the Wii U how ever when I do I have tons of fun.


I personally think that the Wii U is to be used as more of a side console then a main. Meaning that if someone is into lets say.. PC gaming but still wants a console they would be best to go for the Wii U and not the other alternatives available.
