Wonder if Microsoft just doesn't want Nintendo to include Minecraft in their marketing. They want to get some money from the small Wii U audience, but they don't want to be giving Nintendo a boost.

You're assuming Nintendo want to announce a port this late on a Direct. I bet MS would be perfectly happy for the publicity
I have a feeling this is simply a case of it not being trough all the rating boards yet. As it currently stands, it couldn't be released in USA/Japan/Germany etc
It could be. PEGI is a leak.

yeah, I mean Minecraft is such an irrelevant name next to Nintendo's storied IPs. Who even plays Minecraft anyway. It's got like no relevance in gaming history.

The listing has now been removed entirely.
The mystery continues... I think it must only be a matter of time - if it was in the hands of PEGI, we know the game exists.

Yeah just noticed that it's gone
A little late for them to remove it, me thinks.
Maybe it was mistaken for Minecraft: Story Mode.

Have any Telltale games ever come to Nintendo platforms? I personally find it more likely that proper Minecraft is on its way.

I seem to remember GAME had The Walking Dead listed a while ago.
There were a bunch on the Wii.

Definitely not, the PEGI rating was wrong. Story Mode is a 12, this was rated 7.
Minecraft Story Mode is already confirmed to be coming to Wii U.
But the PEGI rating probably wasn't that.

The Wii U logo was even on the tv ads for story mode
I wonder if it still comming, maybe it was sliped by Pegi, but not to mean announced yet...
Of course it's still coming. This has happened before with both USK and PEGI. Limbo was leaked through a rating by the USK that was then pulled, just like this one, only to be confirmed for the eShop a couple of weeks or so later.
Yes, a PEGI registration costs money and involves paperwork, it's not something that happens by mistake. The thing that puzzles me is why Microsoft or Nintendo want this to be a surprise reveal. The only explanation I can find is the upcoming TGA.
I could see them announcing it on some random wednesday in a press release tbh. TGA is gonna be for other things.

Earlier in the thread someone posted the ratings for both Story Mode and Wii U Edition together so it's was definitely a separate listing.
How would that even fit in? lol I could see it happening if they're doing a Steve Mii Fighter costume.
Two separate statements. Nintendo should have had Minecraft years ago when it was already popular. On Wii possibly and DEFINITELY Wii U launch.
Oh it's way too late for that. But before MS bought it and it was on consoles, if Nintendo had have moved fast to secure it, imagine the difference it'd make. If Nintendo would have owned it (they should have as it's a game up their alley) it'd be a different story.

Of course they'll say it's a false rumour, they want people buying their version
True but the rating was removed and there is still no sign that a Wii U version of Minecraft even exist. Yes they want people to buy their game but that doesn't make what they're saying any less valid from the way things look.
I doubt Pegi rating was false. Pegi rating like that isn't something they easily mess up with. They likely took it down by request.
Pegi ratings cost money and require a working copy to even be rated. Granted, through IARC and Nintendo, PEGi is now free, but would require Nintendo to have that title named and verified.

If the game didn't exist the rating would never have existed, simples
Yeah, the other clone (IDR the name) droped the price to 1 dollar on eShop after this PEGI discovery
Gotcha. Thanks!

Stoneshire, it's one quid in the UK, UK gets shafted on price again lol
The funny thing is Stone Shire costs $1, but Nintendo fee for it is $1.2, so he is literally paying Nintendo $0.20 per copy sold. The dev doesn't care apparently. We tried warning him, but apparently he brushed it off and doesn't care. I don't think he understood. He will in a few months when his payment from Nintendo is near $0 though.. lol

Will Nintendo just call it zero or will they charge him per copy?
I used to work for a (very) small landscaping company when I was in high school and my boss used to joke, "We lose a little money on every job but we make it up in the volume!"
