Mojang and Nintendo have announced Minecraft will be coming to the Nintendo Wii U on 17th December.
Minecraft: Wii U Edition will feature multiple add-on content packs, such as both Battle & Beasts Skin Packs, Natural Texture Pack, City Texture Pack, Fantasy Texture Pack, and Festive Mash-Up Pack. Both companies are also working on collaborating new content for Nintendo fans to enjoy in the future.
The game will support off-TV play, which will allow players to enjoy Minecraft on their GamePad controller. Considering how hooked younger players can get to Minecraft, this was a very smart decision so others can use the TV while the game is being played.
In addition to the included packs, a total of sixteen add-on packs will also be available for purchase within the Nintendo eShop. The additional packs are:
- Festive Skin Pack
- The Simpsons Skin Pack
- Doctor Who Skins Volume 1
- Doctor Who Skins Volume 2
- Star Wars Classic Skin Pack
- Star Wars Rebels Skin Pack
- Star Wars Prequel Skin Pack
- Mass Effect Mash-up Pack
- Skyrim Mash-up Pack
- Plastic Texture Pack
- Candy Texture Pack
- Cartoon Texture Pack
- Steampunk Texture Pack
- Pattern Texture Pack
- Greek Mythology Mash-up Pack
- Halloween 2015 Mash-up Pack
Minecraft: Wii U Edition will be available on the Nintendo Wii U on 17th December for $29.99 no UK pricing just yet.
