Prepare to Get Creative With Minecraft-Inspired Game Discovery Coming to Wii U eShop Soon

Is it just me or does this look better than normal Minecraft?

Edit: Remind me to read the title next time, okay? To be fair, though, these blocks in the inventory look strikingly similar to Minecraft.

Edit 2: Well those goats and horses certainly look out of place. But if the guy made them block-y as well, Mojang would certainly sue.

thing is it does look like it would be a fun game BUT with Minecraft itself coming to the system i think people will ignore this one even if it is better simply because of the fact the original Minecraft is available

There can only be one!

Looks alright to be honest.

When Mine craft was announced that Monday morning I assumed all of these clones, or whatever you want to call them, we're dead. But then I saw the $29.99 price tag, so I'm giving the cheaper guys a chance. Especially if they make proper use of the Game pad in single player and 2 player.

$30 vs $7 is not simply a rounding error. And while I've come to understand $30 is also the bundle price on PB4S and X1, both of those systems also still have the $19.99 option. I think Minecraft at $19.99 would have killed these off, but people who already own MC on other systems, which is slmost everybody interested in getting it, may be put off to double, triple or quadruple dip at that $30 price. You can pick up 3 or 4 clones and still have money left over at that price.

Guess we'll see.

I will wait for a review from you, guys.

And speaking of reviews: I'm also waiting for reviews of Minecraft Wii U Edition and Terraria, which is out for a week now.

@rjejr But you can't play in 4 players mode in these clones and there's apparently no survival mode in this one.

"Cube Life continues to reveive updates"? Erm, not to be a spoilsport, but as far as I'm aware it still hasn't. At least here in UK.

Is Minecraft Story Mode coming to the Wii U? Or do we have to wait three years longer than everyone else for that too?

@gurtifus Well, that's why it's $7 and not $30. And for parents buying these types of games for their kids 4 player may not matter. How many people have 4 Minecraft players in 1 house? I think it's a fair trade off.

Love cube life, stone shire is getting an update, super hyped for ucraft, and now this looks great as well. 30 dollars for minecraft? Barf!

With the REAL Minecraft being on Wii U, I don't think this will do too well...
@admin11 Oh boy! Free scam!

If Minecraft didn't want competition on the WiiU, they should have released it sooner. Or, to put it better, they could even have released it now without the whole "when Hell freezes" scenario. Sure, it IS Microsoft's property, but then again, that's exactly why there are Minecraft-inspired games on Nintendo consoles now.

Yeah, it's a Minecraft type game. Can't say if that's good, bad, or neither.

"Infinite terrain, seamlessly streamed"

Already sounds better than Minecraft Wii U Edition.

@Geonjaha
I hwve minecraft which isn't so great on my PS3 and cubelife blows it away.

@rjejr
The cubelife update has finally been confirmed for the 22nd. That will feature the local multiplayer. Stoneshire isn't that good and this game and of course ucraft aren't out yet.

So I recommend Cubelife but then I'm not a fan of minecraft so consider that in my recommendation.

Another plus is it actually uses the gamepad.

@SetupDisk I played Minecraft for 3 hours once to try out the Skyrim skin on PS3. Then I bought Skyrim. My kids are addicted to Minecraft, PC for mods and PS3 for couch multiplayer, but they both flatly said "no" to $30 for another version. And since this apparently is the PS3 version and not the PS4 version there' seven less incentive to get it. But they might try out some of the other cheaper games if they are different enough. I think Discovery sounds different enough, my older son likes to build. The younger one just likes to destroy so he may not be as interested in this. But there is a much greater chance of them paying $7 rather than $30.

Well, to me this already looks significantly better than Minecraft, so if I would want to buy a block building rpg type of game on Wii U, I'd go with this one. Except I don't like these types of games at ALL, and I don't have a Wii U...

@daggdroppen If you're trying to quote Highlander, then that should be:
"There can BE only one"...
