Took them long enough

REDMOND, Wash., May 9, 2016 – In a match made in block-shaped heaven, Nintendo is partnering with Mojang and Microsoft to bring the imaginative worlds of the Super Mario series and Minecraft together. For the first time ever, players will be able to fend off blocky Hammer Bros. and Dry Bones the same way they do Creepers and Zombies.

On May 17, the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack comes to Minecraft: Wii U Edition as a free game update. After downloading the update, players who own the Minecraft: Wii U Edition digital game, which launched last December, will have immediate access to new skins, a Super Mario-themed pre-made world and a set of Super Mario-themed music and item textures. All this new content is inspired by games in the iconic Super Mario series, such as Super Mario World, Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. When the retail version of Minecraft: Wii U Edition launches in stores on June 17 at a suggested retail price of $29.99, the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack will be included on the disc.

“Both the Super Mario franchise and Minecraft embrace the magic of exploration and discovery,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Publisher & Developer Relations. “Players will have a great time adventuring and creating in this free game update that embraces the unique and memorable elements of both franchises.”

The Wii U version of Minecraft features the full game, as well as many of the most popular previously released content packs for no extra charge. Downloading the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack gives players 40 new Super Mario-themed skins, which transform the game’s characters into familiar heroes like Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach, and even troublemakers like Bowser, Wario and all seven Koopalings. All the world and item textures in the game will also be redone, providing players the opportunity to create their own Super Mario-themed locations within the world of Minecraft. While building, players will even enjoy listening to the smooth sounds of 15 pieces of music from Super Mario 64. Builders of all ages will love crafting massive new worlds using building blocks inspired by a series as accessible and recognizable as Super Mario.

They need to make sure kids today know who Mario is.

MS saving the Wii-U this year. They should try and do more Nintendo based crossover stuff.

Now what reason does Microsoft have at all to make a superior console version on a competitor's console?

Microsoft and Nintendo in the same sentence lol

Gotta make that licensing money somewhere. Microsoft makes money off of Minecraft, Nintendo makes money off of Minecraft on Wii U, and the skin packs.

Everybody wins. Companies aren't often so locked off from business with one another as it seems.

Minecraft has always been the outlier due to it being on other platforms prior to the Microsoft buy-out. I wouldn't read too much into it.

I think so.

edit: Pretty crazy. I didn't believe him at first... So this means there are only two more WiiU games in the pipeline (Paper Mario and Zelda)? Two games between July 2016 and March/Mid 2017? LOL

No. Nintendo said it would happen when the Wii U version was announced

Mario waterpack spotted.

Only on GBA due to a loophole in the contract. Smash is also on consoles, unless you want Banjo to be 3DS-exclusive.

Goldensun_it · May 9, 2016

I see stuff from Sunshine... maybe this means something?!

KingSnake · May 9, 2016

That looks cool.

Japanmanx3 · May 9, 2016

This should've happened at release. Glad it is now.

Javier · May 9, 2016

I think it's finally time for me to jump onto Minecraft.

woopWOOP · May 9, 2016

lol, that Petey Piranha

I see a Fludd in there, but I guess it's just another skin for a regular bucket of water?

mclem · May 9, 2016

Well, I'm not sleeping tonight.

zeromcd73 · May 9, 2016

Trev continues being right.

Mpl90 · May 9, 2016

And yes

Nintendo is partnering with Mojang and Microsoft

Reading that gives to everyone such a strange feeling.

There's stuff from basically every game. Even Doctor Mario appears to be a skin.

Luigi has the Polterguist in one screen as well.

How so? This was announced back in December when Minecraft Wii U was announced.

Effect · May 9, 2016

May 17th is the day I finally buy the Wii U version of Minecraft. This was deal I made with myself. The second Nintendo based content arrives, and for free, is when I pick up this version. It's here, it's Mario based, and it's free. Now I have no problem paying the $30 for it.

I wonder if the Fludd on Mario in the one screen shot is somehow useable or if it's just for show.

There is stuff from multiple games, that's surely just a reference.

Anyway, that's cool! And weird, a Microsoft studio doing Mario DLC for a Wii U game... What a time to be alive.

randomlee26 · May 9, 2016

Should have called it Mariocraft Edition.

It was already known, officially, that something of that kind was coming.

Indeed.

Easy to be right when they said we would get Nintendo dlc from the start.
