Wizards, warriors and engineers will be the first three UCraft player classes. Unique class abilities help players tackle the game's challenges.
In a shocking press release that was just sent out a couple of minutes ago nintendonuggets learned that Nexis Games has made the decision to keep UCraft exclusive to the Wii U. When asked how they (Nexis Games) came to this decision they had this to say.
Shocking.
I'll wait on reviews (or gameplay footage) to determine if it's worth a purchase or not.
Good to see.
Everyone else has gotten Minecraft so it'll be nice to have an equivalent of our own to enjoy.
Nexis Games has shared another three screenshots from UCraft.
This game looks promising for the Wii U. Lets hope it has some good production values.
Hoping to relieve that Minecraft itch with Nexis Games' Wii U exclusive title called UCraft? Sorry, it's now planned for PC first.
I won't be surprised if it still sells better on Wii U.
Why?
Because PC already has Minecraft, and Wii U doesn't.
So, really, this is just an unnecessary split of production costs and effort for the sake of spreading their game over to PC, which already has something that fills the spot they're trying to take up with Ucraft.
We know that it made your day to post that, but the game still isn't coming to your favorite no matter how much you try! ;(
Still sold better during its first week than the original did during its first week, and it had two consoles to sell to.
And that's before including digital.
It's at over 300K and it's not even into Christmas yet, let alone its first 6 months, which is what the first game took to get even semi-decently close to 1M.
Troll harder.
I couldn't agree more! I am more surprised that someone hasn't tried to get a version of these types of games on the 3DS. Now there's an open market...
The Kickstarter, intended to fund UCraft as a WiiU exclusive fails, so obviously the best next step is to create it on multiple platforms. :/ I really dont get the reasoning behind this decision. If you can create multiple versions of the game then why go to kickstarter in the first place?
Is the name going to change?
Is it really worth spending time, money and resources to release this game on PC when there are more than enough Minecraft clones and crafting games in general already available on the platform?
What exactly is the thinking behind this decision?
If they release it on Steam Early access they can still fund the development if they open up the alpha to the community.
The point is no one will buy, well not enough to fill that 19k void. Theres no way it can be better than MC and its blatantly a clone so that alone will kill this game on PC, everyone is right they should just develop it on nintendo or create an original IP with their supporters graces.
Not only that but WiiU owners aren't going to jump on many kickstarters/crowd funding after the whole Project Cars burn. Just not going to happen!
Because they didn't feel that the install base was large enough to justify porting it over to the Wii U.
Minecraft is coming to XB1. Wii U has a larger base than XB1. Of coarse Microsoft bought Minecraft a few weeks or so back.
I have never played MC, I want to play UCraft though, cause it sounds like it expands on the MC experience.
@GotHDGame Yeah I didn't understand that either. Maybe Microsoft will release it on the Wii U now that they own it, might be a way they could make back a small chunk of that 2.5b.
@gothdgame Xbox one gamers buy more games. also many Xbox one game reserve have the game on xbox 360 and wanted the bigger worlds. remember that MS is the reason MC came to console.
I must be the only gamer on the planet who has never played Minecraft. I might pick this up on Wii U if its a good game. I think the gamepad would work well for this type of game.
This is nice for Wii U owners not only do you get 1 game you have another coming. The crazy thing is Wii U owners will buy this simply for the fact that it will prove a point.
I really hope he gets the Editor working also.
Isn t this the same dev that released Brick broken on the eshop them whined about reviews that rightfully gave it low scores?
Wait for reviews on this one
