Is this still getting a physical release at some point? I recall there being some news about that a while back. Not sure if it's still planned or not.

Wouldn't they already have Mario on their Wii U console, since this will be on Wii U and Wii U only?
Or you mean they playing on your Wii U?
Just curious.
I think is an old joke....or part of it. Basically around some polls that kids this day know Minecraft, but don't know about Mario.

I need this on PS4 Minecraft
A Microsoft game with a Nintendo DLC on a Sony platform..... it could happen.
Is this our first confirmation of the physical game's release date being June 17?
And on that note, damn, June is the Month of Wii U:
June 17: Minecraft: Wii U Edition
June 21: Mighty No. 9
June 24: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
June 24: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
June 28: LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens

The game supports touch screen, but has no dual-screen UI.

Right on. Definitely will pick this up for the Wii U collection. Thanks!

Wow, this looks great. Brightly-coloured and very fun looking. I love the little detailsthe Sunshine water pack, the different power-up suits, the little borders around the stars. I also like that the faces aren't just flat, and Mario's nose bulges out appropriately!
What item do you guys suppose the power star is in Minecraft?

I got the PS Vita version of the game for $6 when they were clearing the Vita stuff out.
Have bothered to redeem to code yet.
I'll pick this up because I have a large library of Wii U games. I don't know if I'll actually put time into it though. Will try to, just to see what it's about.

I think it's already the best selling eShop game in Japan on Wii-U, beating Splatoon.

Lmfao this looks pretty cool tbh! I never got into minecraft but the hilarious nintendo characters might do it for me >_<

I know one thing they really ought to do....
One step closer, this is them taking baby steps for a collaboration.
Next step: All 4 nintendo platform BK games for Virtual console!
What were the other 2?

Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge and Banjo-Pilot for GBA.
This is probably not coming out of Kyoto. This is likely, again, coming from Baker's (and others, notably, Wharton) growing power and control over the eShop, indies, and western party interactions with digital titles.
Same source as the Humble Bundles, basically.
At this point, I think that the eShop and titles/deals there within are actually controlled by NoA/Baker more than they are by NCL/Kyoto. I think he and his Treehouse/marketing group at NoA have been given what appears to be full-on autonomy with what they do (to a point). For good reason, too, if the continued successes of the bundles and their growing eShop sales is anything to go by...
(Baker was Adelman's boss, btw.)
Like the hat?

Depends on what you mean by touch screen support. It's had some touch support from the beginning.

Goddamn. Outside of Tokyo Mirage Sessions those are all ending up my library.
Half this year's Wii U's retail releases right here people.
This is where it sucks to be spoiled by PS4 Minecraft. It's impossible to go back to PS360, and this was on the same engine, correct?
Really nice mash-up pack. One of the best honestly - some are just horrible for the blocks (Mass Effect, Skyrim... , and this one is not in that camp. Especially love the SMB3 sun haha.

My 6 year old daughter is going to flip out, she loves Mario games and Minecraft on the Wii U and this is just perfect.
Half sounds like it's being generous. Other than Star Fox and Paper Mario, what's missing from that list that's due this year?

Those mash-up pre-made worlds are always well done.
It's probably a joint effort between both NoA and NoE. The original deal was apparently made possible by Alex Palomares (NoA) and Ariko Kimoto (NoE).
Development-wise, NoE territory companies (Curve, Shinen, KnapNok, Nifflas, Image & Form, Frozenbyte, Dakko Dakko, etc) are traditionally handled by NoE. But while both Mojang and 4J Studios are in NoE territory, Microsoft is in NoA territory.
Hopefully this is all leading up to a new 3D Mario game for the NX that takes the series into a Minecraft / Dragon Quest Builders direction where we can explore and build stuff in a vast 3D Mushroom Kingdom - a Super Mario 3D Maker if you will where Mario once again dons his plumber/construction worker hat.
I think that such a 3D social building game that builds on both 3D Mario platformers, Super Mario Maker style level design tools and Minecraft/DQB's openness and appeal to kids could really help sell the NX.

Looks cool, but shit, Nintendo really should have tried to have this launch with Minecraft. Imagine if they were more prepared - they could have had it launch with skins from Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc.

Well, we were told there were going to be some sort of collaboration between Minecraft and Nintendo when it launched, but we heard nothing about it. I was kind of figuring just a handful of Mario skins.
But a full world is awesome. I adore the Roman Empire and Halloween worlds that are already in the game, was almost tempted to buy them too.
It's really nice to have the world presumably for free. I'm interested to see how they've changed everything; it looks like the slime bouncy blocks are reskinned as clouds. Plus i'm seeing a lot of different costumes too.

That's actually a lot more titles than I thought

It is too bad Nintendo seems to view this kind of stuff as a one way street. Microsoft just put Minecraft and a Mario pack on WiiU. This obviously benefits WiiU a lot, but why not give in and let Goldeneye come out on Xbox and the NX in return a a favor?
I wonder how this does in the NPD
It felt like this was coming as a free update. The Xbox and PlayStation holiday bundles priced at $30 included a console exclusive Mash-Up pack. It's the best looking Mash-Up just from the trailer. Wish 4JStudios did more. The LittleBigPlanet one is really cool. Custom map, characters, enemies, UI. Entire game gets a facelift.
