Nintendo OPEN to Minecraft

WII U AND 3DS CAN'T MISS OUT

E3 2014 came and went, and now we can get back to the normalcy of Gaming....OH WAIT! No we can't!! Cause at E3, behind the curtains, KOTAKU interviewed Shigeru Miyamoto and Shinya Takahashi about the idea of MINECRAFT being adopted onto the Wii U and 3DS, and Takahashi DID acknowledge that the thought has entered his mind.

We've always thought internally that using the [Wii U] GamePad would probably make for a Minecraft that's very easy to play. And, of course, if we were to do something with Minecraft on the 3DS, similarly we would probably do it where it would be easier to play and could probably reach a lot of kids.
What's interesting is that, in Japan, Minecraft is not popular in the way it is in the U.S. and Europe, so we've also thought that, if we were able to do a partnership like that, it might bring opportunity to help make Minecraft more popular in Japan.

Miyamoto admitted he knows about it, although he hasn't played it, but he did tease the interviewer:

Maybe we're meeting with them! Who knows?

We ALL know it needs to come to Wii U and 3DS, and it's basically made for a touchscreen version--rather that's HD or 3D--we all want to see it, and I think it's probably due to happen sometime soon.

Don't you??

I say if they ever do that it has to be better the the X Box version of it (I hope). I really would hope that they don't use the same format because the controls really annoyed me.

I would think the 3DS would be a better version than WiiU, but would prefer a good console version so I could play it better online and on a big screen. Ups and downs to both sides, but I'm just going to stick to PC version either way.

I don't know if either Wii U OR 3DS would be better than one another, but I think BOTH systems need it, and it's surprising that Minecraft isn't popular in Japan.

I just want it for EITHER Nintendo system, cause I don't wanna deal with a PC version, and the Gamepad is the PERFECT way to build all those creative pixel-art builds you see online

I don't really think the Gamepad would help with the pixel art builds, because you still have to run/fly around placing all the blocks. I think pressing an 'a' button would be just as easy.
