If a Wii U version of Minecraft now means that NX can play Minecraft on day one, then perhaps this should be seen as less of a hail-Mary for Wii U and more of Nintendo getting all its blocks in a row for a real run at its next generation. The real question, though, is what Minecraft could do for NX, Nintendo's next dedicated game device.

This would be at least a minor boost to Wii U's fortunes. What can Minecraft do now? Well, Nintendo should get a disc version out as soon as possible, and then release a console bundle with Minecraft packed in and prominently displayed on the box, assuming its deal with Microsoft would allow such a thing. Too bad Nintendo at the time seemed more interested in chasing ports of Call of Duty and Mass Effect that ultimately sold nothing.īut that's a bunch of pixelated water underneath the blocky bridge. I’m more so concerned considering that, when this same thing happened to the Wii Shop, it more or less signaled its death within a year. Would a more timely release of Minecraft have saved Wii U? It's impossible to know, but in 2012 a well-executed version of Minecraft would have been a killer app. The Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops could close permanently sometime in 2022 if the company’s latest announcement is anything to go by. Stores like Sears, Target, or Costco sell video game hardware too, and theyre worth scoping out. November, 2021 The top Nintendo Wii U price in the Philippines starts from 19242.00. Nintendo of Japan announces a big change for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops, possibly signaling the digital stores closing in 2022. (Microsoft and Nintendo have historically been buddy-buddy anyway other Microsoft properties have appeared on Nintendo platforms in the past.) The Wii U is shaping up to be a scarce commodity this holiday season. It could simply cancel any other versions and require you to own an Xbox or Windows platform to play it, but instead it's expanding Minecraft's reach. And this release does indicate that Microsoft, which acquired Mojang in 2015 for $2.5 billion, plans to be platform-agnostic with its Minecraft property.
