Topic: Minecraft (Wii U) - OT

@jariw then what is the GamePad screen used for?

The gamepad is used to display all the wasted potential.

mainly, I would have just wanted my own screen while playing. It was so nice in Hyrule Warriors last night.

Eh, at least they're still giving the Wii U exclusive stuff...anyways I need to get back into this at some point. Not even 1/4 of the way done with my Waifu Hallway. lol

My guesses are that the nether will look like the evil castles (or the haunted houses!) and the end will look either like the underground or the sky theme they use in many games (it usually involves white clouds, towers and rainbows so I guess it would translate nicely).

Kinda wished we actually new mobs instead, imagine an actual MC Goomba, and all you had to do is jump on it. lol

@DarthNocturnal Touch screen inventory would be nice. The icons (and the text) are so tiny on the screen, and it would be nice to get a magnified version of the inventory. The inventory is so much easier to use in the PE on iPad, or on the PC.

@DefHalan The only thing that's displayed on the Gamepad screen when playing local multiplayer is the default Minecraft block.

The Mario Mash-up pack consists of: 40 Super Mario-themed skins including Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Wario and all seven Koopalings; Super Mario style textures; a Super Mario World to explore, and music from Super Mario 64.

The Wii U version is on a physical disc and includes the Mario pack. Release date: 17th June.

I find it curious that Nintendo's announcement says 40 characters, while Mojang's announcement says more than 40 characters. Similarly, IGN's article says 15 pieces of music, while Mojang's announcement says 16.

Is this update live for anyone yet?

Yup, it's live right now. Just try to start the game.

Yeah after a few problems I got it. Still said Nintendo Network was down for maintenance and had to play offline.

My only issue is the fact the music doesn't loop as much as the vanilla music.

I'm bored with MineCraft right now, and Mario/Halo DLC isn't very cool.

Maybe they'll add cross play support and let Xbox run custom art. Who knows...?

That's why SDK Paint is making sense, and why Minecraft clones are nice.

Sdk paint is about as bad as bad drawing tools go, though.

And the Minecraft clone that will use it seems to be taking forever.

Ah. I was under the impression that it already came out and SDK Paint was useful outside of SD cards or whatever it can do(I can't recall). That's what Minecraft needs to do, outside of the PC section to keep up console fans, eventually, I think.

I will am stuck just gathering infinite rare resources, and that's not really fun. Also, it just let's boring, but I had fun with it for a while and will go back eventually. I built 3 bases at each side of the first map on Xbox.

Whenever I try to join a room in the Minecraft battle mini game my Wii U freezes and makes a horrendous noise ;-; is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Freezes here when I try to join too. Was there no beta testing for this? Crazy!

I tried the online mode too, and I got a freeze up too.
