Minecraft Spooky Bundle is Coming to Wii U

Get in the spirit of Halloween

by Mitch Vogel Wed 26th Oct 2016

Minecraft: Wii U Edition has been receiving pretty decent post-release support, with several map and skin packs being released to pad out the experience further. With Halloween being less than a week away, Mojang has opted to get people in the spirit by putting out a Halloween themed 'Spooked Bundle' with plenty of creepy scenery to entertain fans.

The pack comes with Halloween Mash-Up – a pre-built world filled with castles, pumpkins, monsters, and more – the Campfire Tales Skin Pack to go along with these theme, and a new Halloween themed stage for Battle Mode. It hasn't been made clear exactly whether or not this will be free, but considering that last year's Halloween map cost a few bucks, expect to pay for it. Here's a video of the Halloween world:

Been waiting for this to be on sale digitally so I can get it, but I really want it. I know what will happen if I do buy it...

@MadAdam81 The Minecraft DLC adds up to about €70 on Wii U. This bundle I'm sure won't qualify under the previous Spooky bundle.

I've allready got the halloween world and skins. I just need the battle arena.
Also, Minecraft has done an update, probably to patch the stuff in ready for when it goes on sale.

@YouSeemFRAZZLED Microsoft is undoubtedly one of the biggest supporters of late life Wii U and probably drawing the most profit from Wii U at the moment. Who woulda thunk it.

Minecraft for Switch is most likely happening and I wouldn't be surprised if it came in the launch window. To Microsoft, Minecraft seems to be viewed as a platform. The foundations for which are being laid now with add-ons and extensions. It fits in nicely with the new services direction of Microsoft and it needs to be everywhere for it to work.

I'd bet that once add-ons and extensions hit consoles it's going to experience that wave of new interest that happened on the PC with mods. Or at least that's what Mojang and Microsoft are likely hoping.
