For those of you looking to fill up your Wii U with games, Minecraft: Wii U Edition arrives in a retail version to help expand your game library.
Not only do you get access to the main Minecraft experience, but you’ll have a whole host of content packs waiting for you: The Wii U Exclusive Super Mario Mash-Up Pack, Battle & Beasts Skin Pack (as well as Battle & Beasts 2), Natural Texture Packs, City Texture Packs, Fantasy Texture Pack, and Festive Mash-Up.
“Even more Nintendo fans are going to love discovering the worldwide phenomenon of Minecraft on Wii U,” said Nintendo of Canada’s Senior Director Pierre-Paul Trepanier. “The retail version of Minecraft: Wii U Edition is great for any video game fan that wants to get creative and see what the Minecraft phenomenon is all about.”
If you’ve been living under a gaming community rock for the past five years, Minecraft is the lovechild of a game developer named Notch, who built the game along with his company Mojang. He sold the company to Microsoft, guaranteeing the game’s longevity for years to come. Minecraft is available on practically any platform you can think of – from consoles, to PC, to mobile devices.
