It was announced on December 7, 2015, and released on December 17, 2015[9] for $29.99 on the Nintendo eShop. A retail disc version was released on June 17, 2016.[1] This edition is bundled with seven add-on packs, and sixteen additional packs are also available as downloadable content. Exclusive content based on Nintendo properties is also available for the game: a mash-up pack based on the Super Mario franchise was released in May 2016.

As of Patch 43, Wii U Edition has not received new feature updates, including Village & Pillage,Buzzy Bees, and the Nether Update that other editions of Minecraft received.

Wii U Edition's final feature update was the Update Aquatic.

Development[edit]

In late 2013, Mojang Studios founder Markus Persson announced that there were no plans to port Minecraft to the Wii U, stating that he wasn't aware of any plans but agreed that 'a Wii U version would make sense.'[10]

In June 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto and Shinya Takahashi were asked about porting Minecraft to the Wii U. Miyamoto stated:

'

I haven't played it myself, but I have heard quite a bit about it. I think he [Takahashi] knows more about it than I do. But I like that style of game, and I look at Mario Maker as being something in a similar vein.

Takahashi followed with his statement:

'

We've always thought internally that using the [Wii U] GamePad would probably make for a Minecraft that's very easy to play. And, of course, if we were to do something with Minecraft on the 3DS, similarly we would probably do it where it would be easier to play and could probably reach a lot of kids.
What's interesting is that, in Japan, Minecraft is not popular in the way it is in the U.S. and Europe, so we've also thought that, if we were able to do a partnership like that, it might bring opportunity to help make Minecraft more popular in Japan.

In September 2014, Mojang Studios'Daniel Kaplan reiterated that there were no plans to bring Minecraft to the Wii U because he claimed that the user base for the Wii U was 'very small'.[12] This was not the case at the time of this post, as the Wii U was ahead of the Xbox One in terms of sales around the same time.

At MINECON 2015, Mojang's COO Vu Bui was also asked about porting Minecraft to the Wii U. Bui stated:

'

If I had my way, we'd be on everything. We want to continue to be available to all players, and that means being on new platforms because everyone uses something different.
I've never heard a reason why we haven't ended up on Wii U or 3DS. It just hasn't happened yet.

On November 11, 2015, PEGI accidentally leaked a rating for Minecraft: Wii U Edition. The leaked rating was removed six days later.[14][15]

On December 7, 2015, the game was officially confirmed, and Mojang and Nintendo announced that Minecraft: Wii U Edition would be released on December 17th, 2015.[16]

On May 9, 2016, Nintendo and Mojang Studios announced that there would be a special Super Mario-themed mash-up pack released for Minecraft: Wii U Edition on the May 19 for free.[1] Mojang also announced that a retail version of the game would be released on June 17, 2016.[1]

Gameplay[edit]

Wii U Edition features Off-TV Play, which allows the game to be played exclusively on the Wii U GamePad's screen. There is some limited touchscreen functionality, allowing players to select items on their hotbar, navigate through the Crafting menu, and more. When asked about whether the GamePad could be used as a second screen for full inventory management, Owen Jones stated it was not at the moment, but it would be cool.[17] The GamePad was never usable as a second screen. Mii characters can be used as the player's in-game username. In addition to the GamePad, the game is also playable with the Wii U Pro Controller or the Wii Classic Controller.

DLC[edit]

Wii U Edition comes with six of the 'most popular add-on packs' included.[18] This is the reason that Wii U Edition is more expensive than all of the other editions of Legacy Console Edition.[19]

The following DLC is included in Wii U Edition:[18]

  • Skin Packs:
  • Texture Packs:
  • Mash-up packs:

Trivia[edit]

  • Wii U Edition (alongside Nintendo Switch Edition and New Nintendo 3DS Edition) are the most expensive editions of Minecraft to date, at US$29.99.
    • This is due to the game releasing with 6 add-on packs included.
      • All DLC included with Wii U Edition are the same as the Xbox One Edition Holiday Pack, with the exception of the Halo Mash-up pack, which has been released as additional paid DLC for the Wii U edition, having been previously exclusive to Xbox platforms.
    • This is ahead of Java Edition by just US$3.04.
  • The PlayStation 3 Edition was released exactly two years earlier, on December 17, 2013.
  • The Nintendo eShop does not have a free demo for Minecraft, unlike the PlayStation and Xbox.
  • Wii U Edition does not have the exclusive features of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 editions, also limiting blocks and world spaces and as well as lower render distance just like the Nintendo Switch Edition.

Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition is the Legacy Console Edition of Minecraft for the handheld console PlayStation Vita in development by 4J Studios for and alongside Mojang Studios.[3] A hidden teaser was hinted by 4J Studios on Twitter in April 2014 where a PlayStation Vita displaying Minecraft in the background of the main focus of the image could be seen,[4] and a screenshot published a month later along with them confirming the edition was being developed.[5] Following the announcement, Jens Bergensten (Jeb) also added that it was based on PlayStation 3 Edition.[6]

PlayStation 3 Edition also has some level of connectivity with PlayStation Vita Edition; the game at the PlayStation Store incorporates the so-called Cross-Buy feature, which makes players get one of the two editions for free when purchasing either one of them. Saved worlds were also transferable between the consoles.[7]

PlayStation Vita Edition also uses ad hoc networking for 'on the go' and online multiplayer, but instead of 8 players in one game, it supports up to 4 players.

PlayStation Vita Edition became available for purchase on the PlayStation Network on October 14 in North America and on October 15 in Europe.[8] It had a retail release in stores on November 11 (North America),[9] November 19 (Europe) and November 21 (United Kingdom and Ireland).[10]

As of 1.84, PlayStation Vita Edition has not received new feature updates, including Village & Pillage,Buzzy Bees, and the Nether Update that other editions of Minecraft received.

PlayStation Vita Edition's final feature update is the Update Aquatic.[11]

Update 1.84 removed the ability to transfer saves from PlayStation Vita and PS3 systems to PS4, and fixed some bugs.[1][2]

Trailer[edit]

Cross compatibility with PS3[edit]

Through Sony's 'Cross Buy' initiative, owners of PlayStation 3 Edition are able to download PlayStation Vita Edition at no additional cost. Since the PSVita Edition is based on the PlayStation 3 Edition, saves on the PlayStation 3 Edition are compatible with PS Vita Edition and vice versa via an online upload to PlayStation Network.

This does not apply to PlayStation 4 Edition. It was only possible to do a one-way save transfer from PS3 to PS4. As of April 15, 2020, it is no longer possible to transfer saves from PS3 to PS Vita and vice versa.[12] There was also a major discount for previous owners of the PlayStation 3 edition, however, since February 25, 2016, there is no longer such a discount on PS4 Edition for owners of the PS3 Edition.

Trivia[edit]

  • As production of PlayStation Vita cartridges have been discontinued,[13] the only way to purchase the PlayStation Vita Edition is to buy the game digitally via the PlayStation Store. Another option is to order a physical copy from re-sellers from websites like eBay and Amazon, but buying a digital copy may be more viable.
  • The popularity of this version of Minecraft in Japan produced a bundle with a Minecraft-themed backplate on the PlayStation Vita console, along with a downloadable Minecraft voucher, and a Minecraft-themed carrying case for the Vita.
