Minecraft, from Mojang, is launching worldwide on Nintendo’s Wii U home console on Dec. 17. Minecraft: Wii U Edition will come with multiple add-on content packs, and will be available in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U. Nintendo and Mojang are also collaborating on new content for Nintendo fans, but the details will release at a future date.
The game will feature off-TV play, so players can keep their games going on the screen of the Wii U GamePad controller if the television is in use. The game also comes with some current Minecraft add-on content packs, including Battle & Beasts Skin Pack, Battle & Beasts 2 Skin Pack, Natural Texture Pack, City Texture Pack, Fantasy Texture Pack, and Festive Mash-up Pack.
Sixteen additional add-on packs will also be available for purchase in the Nintendo eShop when the game launches, including Doctor Who Skins, Star Wars Skins, and more.
