Minecraft would seem like a game Nintendo fans would buy. Slap some Nintendo skins & it will sell alot.

Wii u is at 7 million and X1 is at 5 million.If the X1 got a MCraft version being at 5 million,i don't see why the wii u can't.

Why do people say crazy stuff like this? There are plenty of indie games on the eShop that have received regular updates already. They had a great opportunity to get ahead of the curve on the WiiU and they will probably scramble to make a WiiU version after they see how well Mario Maker sells.

Hmm, sounds good but I'm already getting the Vita version. Minecraft seems perfect on the go, plus it's exactly the same as the PS3 version. No Pocket Edition BS.

this falls on the developers the gamepad is pefect for this game it caters to nintendos system more so than ps4 xboxone
its a shame what all these developers are doing to nintendo its gnna be weird when its all said and done i think nintendo's gnna have a huge holliday and in the end be neck and neck with xboxone

For those who want to throw the argument that Nintendo gamers don't buy 3rd party games I am going to post a interview excerpt from yacht games. Wii U owners have said this for the longest and this just goes to show that they won't back companies that are looking to screw them out of $60.00 bucks.

Read what developer David D’Angelo had to say.

SA: In the sales blog you mentioned that Nintendo gamers made up about 1/3 of the backers on Kickstarter, but when the game was released, a large portion of Shovel Knight sales came from the Wii U and 3DS eShops. Everyone believes that Nintendo gamers are a fickle bunch. Most seem reluctant to buy anything unless the name “Nintendo” is on it or in the description. Were you surprised at how well-received Shovel Knight was with Nintendo gamers? What methods did you use that broke that barrier making Shovel Knight so accepted by the community?

YGC: No we weren’t surprised. We spent a lot of effort going to conventions, talking to Nintendo media sites, and much much more to make sure Nintendo fans knew our game fit the kind of experiences they loved playing. Nintendo of America also did an amazing job stepping up to the plate and getting the word out there. They showed the game off any chance they could, and integrated us into their own events like Nintendo Live at SDCC and Treehouse Live at E3. They put us on the front page of the eShop and their own website! So hopefully, with Nintendo’s backing and our own marketing, we looked like a game that any Nintendo fan could appreciate.

Now take Madden 2013 for the Wii U Per IGN the game came without the infinity engine and instead, it's using canned animations. That's what every Madden before Madden NFL 13 was doing, so the effect isn't horrible, but it isn't the game changer we saw on PS3 and 360. he Wii U is a great version of Madden. There's less detail in the graphics and The game seems to stutter more. So one has to ask why make your first game a outdated broken product and sell it for the same price as old games that ran better and get mad when no one bought it?

This is just a sample size of the travesty Wii U have been facing from day one, You may not be a Wii U owner but as fellow gamers everyone should take offense how these companies do gamers. I like that Wii U owners are vocal with their wallets.

This article is funny but lets play devils advocate. Lets take away the year head start the Wii U had and look at all the games released so far because were keeping those. Also we keep the games because Microsoft and Sony have been making HD games for 8 years.

So with that being said it's possible that if all systems came out the Wii U would still have sold the same amount of systems in less time. It's possible they could have sold less but it's possible they could have sold more.

Imagine this starting lineup Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D world, Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong, New super Mario Brothers U, Windwaker re mastered, New super Luigi Brothers U and many more are all million plus sellers on the Wii U. If the Wii U had these games from the start and game developers had another year to touch up on the games that were released to put more polish on them. It's possible the Wii U and PS4 could be duking it out for top honers. BTW At this point it's not about who sales the most systems it's about who makes the most profit looking at the way Amiibo has been pre ordered and is selling if Nintendo sold just 1 to each console owner there geared to make 92 million off the figures alone. Also if they sale 2 figures per console that's double the profit. So why system sales matter Nintendo just put themselves in position to do better.

In closing Mario Kart 8 wasn't the reason for the turn around it was the fact that they stop getting so much bad press.

Ironically, Minecraft is one of THE most requested games on Miiverse and some of the most creative minds post to Miiverse daily. Why not cash in on it? Nintendo gamers WANT games like this.

Minecraft for the Wii U could attract a lot of Japanese gamers

Nintendo needs to do a better job of reaching out to 4j and making it happen- if Ni t edit was 1/2 as confident as many in these boards they would offer sales guarantee s for Minecraft in order to get it on the Wii u ,

I would also include CS and Fortnite players in this category too

My kids would only play Minecraft when they were younger. Roblox is banned in our house. Now thay they are not so little they are delving into single player and co/op games.
