All I see on Youtube are Nintendo themed Mincecraft's already so I am excited for official skins and themes.

Stratos · « **Reply #2 on:** December 07, 2015, 01:37:52 PM »

I'm hoping the motion controls are nice in this one as using wiimote and nunchuk were always my ideal control setup for the game.

If they do anything special with the controls I want touch stylus support, that alone makes this versions superior to all the rest. Even better than offtv play which is perfect for freeing up my PS4 to do more important things.

Wow, I an genuinely surprised by online multiplayer support.

And genuinely regretting my talkback post on the subject.

ThePerm · « **Reply #5 on:** December 07, 2015, 04:17:11 PM »

Well, gotta buy this.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #6 on:** December 07, 2015, 06:49:34 PM »

I am all in.

Stratos · « **Reply #7 on:** December 07, 2015, 09:36:33 PM »

Hey! We'll get the band back together!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #8 on:** December 07, 2015, 10:15:20 PM »

You guys left the band!

Stratos · « **Reply #9 on:** December 07, 2015, 10:44:44 PM »

More like we couldn't find a stable venue. I'm hoping that gets resolved with the version in some fashion.

ThePerm · « **Reply #10 on:** December 08, 2015, 12:29:54 AM »

actually sometimes I come on for like five minutes, but nobody is on when I'm on.

sigh. wtf is wrong with game developers? It should be a day one feature.

Enner · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2015, 12:28:47 PM »

Ouch. Sounds to be just a straight port if they're not doing the thing people would want to do with the GamePad's touchscreen.

Ymeegod · « **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2015, 01:47:16 PM »

So not only does the WII U get the game last, but it gets an price increase? And this was Nintenod's big announcement?

The pricing strategy for Minecraft has been that the earlier you buy into it the cheaper it is, and as they add more content the price rises.
Eg
Pre Alpha $5
Alpha $10
Beta $15
1.0 $20
Then some time after to $27

Now for consoles the price has not increased, perhaps because there is no precedent for raising prices on consoles and it would be in bad taste, but instead a new holiday bundle is being phased in that includes the things the Wii U version does and costs $30.

I am curious, never tried it, but how does multiplayer even work in a game like Minecraft, do you all fight for resources, is it an MMO, what does it to differently? I only play the game in creative mode offline for the most part, I tried survival mode a couple of times but it wasn't nearly as much fun.

Stratos · « **Reply #18 on:** December 10, 2015, 02:56:02 PM »

You can work together or compete for resources. Or you can play lucario style and befriend people then take all of their chests of goodies ;-)

I like building rail lines between cities we build. Kind of a village survival with a bit of competition to find the best resources.

ThePerm · « **Reply #19 on:** December 10, 2015, 08:12:09 PM »

Generally when Strayos, Myself, and Shyguy play. I construct the mines and sky scrapers, Stratos constructs railways and his own mines, and Shyguy builds the quaint village sections. Lucario steals all our resources and we have to work twice as hard. Its like an added difficulty level.

Stratos · « **Reply #20 on:** December 10, 2015, 08:23:30 PM »

I always try to build my version of the Lonely Mountains fortress in every map I build.

I had found the perfect mountain in our last server that had a hollowed out crescent shape to it in the mesa zone. I was going to build it up.

Is our server still up? I might hop on tonight.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #21 on:** December 10, 2015, 08:51:47 PM »

Stonerbros is still going, they have been up and down lately.

ThePerm · « **Reply #22 on:** December 10, 2015, 09:20:54 PM »

i was on it for a few monutes, this computer is crap though. I have to jump on the other to get anything done though.

Wah · « **Reply #23 on:** December 11, 2015, 04:19:51 AM »

hey me and johnny built most of lucina...

Stratos · « **Reply #24 on:** December 30, 2015, 03:09:31 PM »

I downloaded this last night. Hoping to hop on today and get a feel for using a controller. Is anyone else playing this yet?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #25 on:** December 30, 2015, 07:29:03 PM »

I have spent a little bit of time with it. My life is currently being held hostage, so hopefully soon.

Stratos · « **Reply #26 on:** December 30, 2015, 08:45:14 PM »

How does the multiplayer work. Do we all share a world? Is it persistent online or more like Animal Crossing where you have to visit each other's "towns"? If we need a dedicated village of sorts to remain open I use my Wii so rarely that I'd be willing to volunteer to leave mine open and on as a shared space if that is necessary.

Stratos · « **Reply #27 on:** December 31, 2015, 02:57:44 PM »

Looks like it works just as I suspected above.

Like I said, I'm willing to 'host' a persistent world to allow folks to come and go as they please. So if I don't have you on my Wii U friend list lets fix that now.

Wah · « **Reply #28 on:** January 01, 2016, 06:20:11 AM »

Don't have a Wii u

Stratos · « **Reply #29 on:** January 01, 2016, 01:09:03 PM »

Well you need to fix that silly! I'd figure you will want to get Pokken Tournament this year considering Lucario is a playable character.

Wah · « **Reply #30 on:** January 06, 2016, 04:40:36 AM »

Its called parents r assholes and even tho i want to buy it with my own money (im 18 in a couple of days)
they still will not let me buy a Wii U, so it won't happen until i move out.

Mop it up · « **Reply #31 on:** September 25, 2016, 01:25:49 PM »

Here is a curiosity question for anyone who has played this on PC: Is every version of this game as glitchy as this one is?

I got this game because a friend wanted me to, but I'm really starting to get tired of all the glitches. Stuff like consuming two food items with one button press I can deal with, but things like getting stuck in blocks or just straight-up freezes typically require reloading a save. With all the billions they've made on this game, I'd think they could at least afford to get it running smoothly...

Stratos · « **Reply #32 on:** September 25, 2016, 01:29:23 PM »

Interesting, I never ran into those glitches on either version. Though I don't play with a lot of people online.

So does this mean we can finally play sometime soon Mop it up?

Mop it up · « **Reply #33 on:** September 25, 2016, 01:35:22 PM »

Well from what I hear, it's mostly multiplayer that's glitchy. But it's boring in single...

If you want to, but I can't use voice chat. And I may turn into a bat, get stuck in your minecart, and then catch fire when I press the Start button (seriously, that was one such glitch that happened).

Stratos · « **Reply #34 on:** September 25, 2016, 01:53:39 PM »

The game supports voice chat? Never even knew that.

Do wish we could get an option for a persistent world online. I'd even pay a couple bucks to have the option of it.

pokepal148 · « **Reply #35 on:** December 04, 2017, 05:17:45 AM »

So I'm playing this on Switch right now and I think I found a really nice spot to build a castle.
