Minecraft

A creative adventure on the Wii U

Minecraft is often said to be the best-selling video game of all time, with over 238 million copies sold across several platforms as of 2021. Minecraft for the Wii U brought the iconic sandbox game to a new platform, allowing players to explore, build, and survive in a blocky world full of possibilities.

Released in 2015, this version offered all the familiar features fans had come to love, such as crafting, mining, and constructing intricate structures. With the added advantage of the Wii U GamePad, players could use it as a map, inventory screen, or even as a separate display for a second player. The world of Minecraft felt just as expansive and immersive on the Wii U, giving players a chance to unleash their creativity in a portable and fun way.

An endless world of creativity

One of the most exciting aspects of Minecraft is its endless creative potential. Players can build anything they imagine, from simple homes to complex castles, or even whole cities. The game world is procedurally generated, meaning no two worlds are alike, making each experience unique. On the Wii U, players could share their worlds with others, taking advantage of the system’s local multiplayer capabilities. The GamePad also allowed for a more immersive experience, where players could see their creations from different angles and perspectives, adding an extra layer of convenience and creativity to the gameplay.

Super Mario tie-in

The Super Mario Mash-Up Pack offers free bonus content exclusively available for versions of Minecraft on Nintendo’s Wii U, Wii and 3DS consoles.

The update offers new skins, textures, music, and a pre-made world that heavily borrows elements from the Super Mario Bros. franchise.

The Wii U edition was released first, before being adapted for the other Nintendo versions of Minecraft.
