Minecraft: Wii U Edition, along with its console brethren, has seen relatively frequent updates and additions. Sometimes these can be simple bug fixes, or occasionally include minigames such as the 'Battle' addition earlier this year.
Mojang has now unveiled another minigame that's coming in the latest update - 'Tumble'.
This writer isn't a Minecraft veteran, but has been informed (and looked up the Wiki) that this is basically an official version of Spleef. In any case, it could be a popular addition.
As for when this'll arrive on Wii U, coincidentally there's maintenance coming up very soon, so the update could roll out after that; times for that server maintenance are below.
From August 30/31st, 6:50pm Pacific / 9:50pm Eastern / 2:50am UK / 3:50am CET - Tuesday, August 30/31st, 8:30pm Pacific / 11:30pm Eastern / 4:30am UK / 5:30am CET.
In other words, the update could roll around on Wii U late tonight into tomorrow.
How many of you hope to try out this minigame?

This looks hilarious!
My little brother will be very pleased for this. He loves playing online.
I've done this one the Wii U with a friend, its a blast, aside from resetting the arena. We quickly changed the arena to slime blocks, broke quickly, and forced us to bounce, risking falling in.
Last thing we did to it was what he coined "Pig Spleefing". We have saddled pigs above the lava on the platform and we had to be on the back of a pig at all times, so we bounced around the arena from pig to pig. I'm guessing Pig Spleefing will remain on our worlds but Tumble should be fun, much more relaxed and silly then Battle.
Omg, this looks so fun! Can't wait to play this with my friends!
Always loved watching Youtubers play Spleef, but to be able to play it personally!? You can bet your bottom dollar I'll be playing this mode.
Looks awesome alot of fun lol.
Wonder if this gets a season pass, either way it's good to know that they are keeping the game alive.
Looks fun Block Wars! Wii U!
If the Wii U edition ever goes on sale, I might get it.
Im not paying more for MC on console than did years abo when I bought it on the PC master race.
I'm not a Minecraft person; haven't touched the PC version for a very long time. But I did rent the Wii U version, and I love the Mario world. To think it wasn't even Nintendo's idea...
Wow... This was not the definition of "spleef" that I was familiar with. Now all I see is Jerri Blank.
Looks like a fun minigame, though!
I just downloaded the update and can't wait to play tonight with my kids! I'll post a video on my yt channel tomorrow.
Looks pretty fun.
I played the new mini game and it's pretty fun! I think I prefer using shovels rather then snowballs. Also there is a new map pack out for battle mode, shall play them some other time.
