Apparently blocky characters can scare off pre-7-year-olds.
Nintendo has that covered
Crazy this gets leaked a month before release, be interesting to see if extra effort goes into this port

So, special appearance of Phil Spencer at the Nintendo Direct to announce Windows Logo-Mario, Minecraft and of course Banjo in Smash?

are we saying this releases later today?
There must be a really funny story about why this took so long.

I can't see anything beyond a quick port of the 360 version and maybe some Nintendo skins and gamepad features.
PEGI is European, so December 11th, I believe.
It's like Microsoft is in the business of saving failing consoles. First Vita, now Wii U.
Nah, Europe also uses Year-Month-Day (greater->smaller) system. Also if you go to the site, everything below it is 2015-11-06, 2015-11-05, etc. This is def. November 12th.
Also did we REALLY need that image at the top of the new page? Really?

Guess we found out tomorrow's first direct surprise?
Why do people keep saying this?
What God forbidden place would use Year Day Month? lol
- if the publisher didn't give a release date (because they didn't know for sure), then the game will appear on the website whenever the rating has been given, and the "release date" is actually the date of rating.
About the "release date" on PEGI's website, it's not necessarily the actual release date. There's two possibilities:
- if the publisher actually gave the release date when they sent the game to PEGI, the game won't show up on the website until that date, and the date appearing on the game's page is the actual release date;
- if the publisher didn't give a release date (because they didn't know for sure), then the game will appear on the website whenever the rating has been given, and the "release date" is actually the date of rating.
Example:
This game didn't come out on October 17th, and in fact, hasn't been officially announced for Europe yet iirc.
So no, Minecraft will not necessarily come out today... it's definitely possible, but highly unlikely.
Yeah, I'll eat crow if I misinterpreted the date myself earlier, but I was thinking, if this is an actual retail release, they're going to have to have pulled some serious magic to actually have it ship in complete and utter secrecy in the middle of the holiday season.
I would be pissed because, as an indie retailer, I couldn't have even ordered it except as a replenishment (likely post-holiday).

Wii U saved!
Exactly, deliberately keeping a product a secret from retailers would be a really dumb move on so many levels.
Just like the Vita was saved by it!
Who owns a wiiU without any other device capable on running Minecraft these days... Seems like it's not even worth the effort surely?
Indeed. Sure didn't win Sega any favors back in May 1995....
Nintendo buys Microsoft!
Actually, it is the best selling vita game in japan so far
You forgot Samus in Halo.
Watch them not use the gamepad in any meaningful way.
Gyro controls to look around please!
