Pre-orders open for Minecraft: Wii U Edition’s physical version

Update (5/13): Now available for pre-order on Amazon Canada.
Update (5/10): Now available for pre-order on Amazon, comes with a 20 percent discount for Prime members.
Original (5/7): Minecraft: Wii U Edition launched on the Wii U eShop at the end of last year. However, a physical version is coming soon. Best Buy and GameStop have now opened pre-orders.
Based on GameStop’s listing – as well as one from GameFly – Nintendo will be publishing Minecraft: Wii U Edition at retail. In one way that makes sense, as Sony and Microsoft published the game on their respective platforms. It’ll cost $29.99 – just like the eShop version.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Rocket Company merging with Imagineer
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Imagineer announced today that it will fully absorb Rocket Company on July 1. The Medabots copyright was initially shared between the two sides, but will now be completely held by Imagineer.
The merging decision was made because Imagineer plans to partially reduce its package software business while reconsidering the company’s strategy. They’ve seen growth within the smartphone games market, so they want to make their organization management more efficient and speed up the development of mobile titles.
Of course, Rocket Company published the Medabots games in Japan. We’ll have to see what this means for the series going forward, but hopefully there will still be a presence on Nintendo systems.
