Calling minecraft dude in smash now
It was the indie guy as well, so a big announcement for the indie guy = the biggest, most successful indie game of all time.
Pretty big announcement.

This will probably sell a boat load. Minecraft always does.
Y'all only have yourselves to blame for overhyping this. It was a Nintendo employee saying it kind of as an afterthought in a conversation about indie games. Like, what the fuck where you expecting? NX?

I think it comes with content packs on XB1 and PS4, no? Or at least has free stuff available on the shop? I could be wrong.
I'd imagine whatever niggling details that needed to be worked out to make Rare Replay happen.
How does it stand feature wise compared to other editions ?
Does it have a completely revamped UI mode for the gamepad (similar to PC crafting and co. ) ?
Don't think that pricing was smart, even if it includes skin packs, it's just going to tell people "it's more expensive on WiiU".

Some of y'all might be disappointed by this, but it kind of is a big announcement. Might not be what you wanted to see, but there were some pretty wild suggestions out there. It was probably always going to only be one thing.
Good for Nintendo. This is a good get for them, as the controller is perfect for it.

Lowkey shocked the Nintendo indie PR guy would say something like that and it isn't the first images and specsheets of the NX
Should have been a NX closed beta for all wii U owners tbh. Oh and a 150$ discount on the console at release. Bundled with 3 games.
It's on the Windows 10 store...the beta anyways
It's going to be fun to come back to this thread and see all the people getting mad about it when they hyped themselves up.

All versions were digital first right? Hope this comes to retail next year, makes sense to get the jump on the holidays.
Oh, wait, 17th is not the retail release, just eshop? Then i don't understand why they are rushing the launch (obvious by the lack of any Nintendo skins) if they don't even catch anything out of these holidays in stores.

Game would be great with two things: wii remote pointer support, and multiplayer with one person on the TV and one on the gamepad. I hope it at least has the latter.
While I'm not interested in MineCraft, it's good that it is finally headed to Wii U. At least now Nintendo can't be criticized too much now for not having one of the one of the biggest IP most well-suited to appear on Wii U. As it has already been said, it is better late than never.
Nintendo's main indie guy mentions on a podcast on a dedicated enthusiast website that they have big news in store for Monday.
Somehow the community extrapolates this to mean anything other than the biggest (former) indie game making it's way on Wii U, especially after seeing it's PEGI rating.
This is the problem with hand-me-down sources and not factoring in context of what was said and who actually said it. You really have no one to blame but yourself for expecting anything differently.
You'll get your Smash news later in the month. Chill.

I don't read 1 Player on TV, 1 Player on Gamepad, so no.
That was the only thing I wanted from this and they fucked it.
I would have to think that this has more to do with making sure Minecraft is there as close to day 1 on NX as possible more than it will do anything to move the needle on the Wii U, but it's good to see one of the biggest absences on Nintendo platforms that is also a good fit for the audience finally making it over.
Really? I think you can download "trials" for each of them, where you can play the game with them but you can't save.
Just to get a better understanding of the difference between MC on Wii U and PS4/PS3/One/360 in terms of pricing, the game on Wii U includes some add-ons that are actually no included when you buy the game on other platforms, correct? In the case, how much do those add-ons cost on the other consoles?
