The Wii U has been out for a few months now, but there is still one element of the console that remains untapped: NFC. No Nintendo or third-party games have yet to take advantage of the functionality.

When asked about Nintendo’s plans for Wii U’s NFC, Shigeru Miyamoto said:

“With NFC, that’s a feature that everyone that owns a Wii U can take advantage of. So that’s what we’re putting our priorities right now. We’re hoping that in the near future we’ll be able to show you something that will take advantage of the NFC on Wii U and people will be able to enjoy that.”


Update: Kerploosh! takes up roughly 200 blocks on an SD card.

Nintendo’s latest 3DS downloadable game, Kersploosh! will cost just $3 at launch. System owners can purchase the title starting on Thursday.

There’s a pretty good reason that Kersploosh! costs $3: it’s a bit light on content. Most players will probably be able to complete everything the game has to offer in a single play session.

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition was the IP’s first foray on consoles. Microsoft currently has exclusive rights to the franchise, meaning it can’t land on other dedicated gaming devices just yet.

Eventually, Microsoft’s deal with Mojang will expire, and Minecraft could end up on additional platforms. But, unfortunately, Jens Bergensten says that a Wii U version is “very unlikely.”

According to Bergensten:

“Microsoft has an exclusivity deal for consoles. When it runs out we’ll consider Minecraft for PlayStation, but Wii U is very unlikely.”
