You think Minecraft could possible be a Wii-U game/ Nintendo download? I simply mean Minecraft is already on X-box 360 (I believe I honestly don't know and I don't own one.) With the Wii-u going to be 3 or 4 times more powerful then it could be a rather fun game and give a new perspective to game play. Like take for example when in creative mode instead of the item inventory popping up on the television screen it would be on the hand-held for easy access. It could work that way for the "Hot Bar" to just a simple click on the touch screen.
Ideas:
Touch screen controls:
The two analog sticks would be for walking and tuning the character.
A Button for use and place of items and Craft-bench/Furnace.
B Button For Run/ possibly another use.
X Button: Multilayer check to see who is online.
Y button if they ever get it engineered to where socializing with the villagers it could be the talk button.
The back buttons: Back right button attack with sword/bow.
Left back button: Jump button. (special thanks to Mesan3 for reminding me there was a jump button. XD)
When crafting or using the furnace you can use the stylus to drag and drop like when using the computer mouse to craft.

Also when in survival mode:
your armor and character is displayed so you can keep check on your armor status in the touch screen.
Then have many buttons that you can click on to open new windows like a inventory window a Mod menu (if possible.)

Minecraft would be a hit on the Wii-U although I do like to play on the computer, but I'm a bigger Nintendo fan.

It could work. That is if Nintendo could talk to to the devs to bringing it to the system.

I think Microsoft brought console exclusivity for it, so it might not happen for a while if at all.

Yuck...

But it should be able to play games online like Minecraft. They should have all of them, like World of Warcraft, Club penguin, Minecraft, Roblox, Dragonball Online, Blockland, Fifa, Runescape, etc.

Sorry wasn't aware I could search threads like that. -.- I just looked through The first page and went with it. I had the thought in my head and wanted to share. ^.^

Really!!! That isn't fair it's a monopoly and monopoly's are illegal, but I guess if you have as much money as Microsoft you can get away with anything. -.- (Personal opinion X-box 360 sucks just becuase they charge for online usage

you forgot jump

Hmmm totally forgot 'bout that. I guess it could be the back left button.
By the time you look back at the topic it will be changed. ^.^

What are you saying "Yuck" to? Minecraft? Or the idea? Just wondering it caught me off guard. =D

I didn't know that monopilization was illegal, maybe it's where you live but..
I don't know anything about monopolization., though.
Maybe I'll learn as I grow older.

Whats his face....notch or whatever said at one time that he might look into it being on the 3DS at one point. So it isnt an xbox exclusive.

It's not illegal, but there are laws to prohibit them.

Man, that`s something I would definitely buy. Minecraft has captivated so much of the world, it could obviously sell on something as powerful as
Wii U.

[Nin_Stream]

NVM.

Given my bias (I hate Minecraft), I'd say no to Minecraft on the Wii U, but from a business standpoint it would probably do very well given the target audience.

Just to be clear i thought the game on Xbox (that is identical to Minecraft) was called Forgecraft... and that it was a rip off.

Either way, if Nintendo can work it out, maybe find a legal loop, i hope they do. Because Minecraft on xbox makes little sense, im not sure how switching between building items and forging will be with an anolog stick and dpad. The WiiU makes much more sense because it has a touch screen, heck even the 3DS or Vita (although i'd rather 3DS because i dont own a vita) could run a better version of minecraft than an xbox. (yes yes i know 3ds doesnt have dual analogs, they could Goldeneye it). But yeah on the WiiU it make PERFECT sense..... if the WiiU will have a good online network and if you could do splitscreen minecraft.
FYI: I have never played minecraft, i can't in a way, but i am a console gamer and id like to see it on WiiU so i could play it.
FYI': I have no friends to play minecraft with.... so i suppose i wouldn't buy it on WiiU unless i had excess moneyz... or more friends.
