Platforms

Mojang’s Jens Bergensten was quoted as saying earlier this week that a Wii U version of Minecraft is “very unlikely.” But his words weren’t intended to be looked upon as a big negative for Nintendo’s console.

Bergensten has since clarified that when it comes to bringing Minecraft to new platforms, “Wii U is no more likely than any other platforms, but no less either.”

“The reason I said that is that the Wii U hasn’t even been mentioned when we’re talking about Minecraft platforms. However, I’m only responsible for the PC and Pocket editions, so the question wasn’t mine to answer. The Wii U is no more likely than any other platforms, but no less either.”

Would Minecraft on Wii U be something that you guys would like to see?

Team Meat could support Nintendo platforms in the future… under one condition. Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, the studio’s primary staffers, want to see Meat Boy in a Smash Bros. game. If the character made it into the upcoming Wii U/3DS releases, Team Meat would be more than happy to make Mew-Genics – the company’s next game – for Nintendo.

McMillen: “I want Meat Boy to be in Smash Bros. That would be the one reason I’d really want to develop for a Nintendo console.”

Refenes: “That would be amazing! If they could guarantee us Meat Boy would be in Smash Bros., we would do something.”

McMillen: “Nintendo are you listening? Smash Bros! We would ask for nothing in return. Just f***ing use the character. Put him in the game. It’s free!”

Refenes: “If they wanted Mew-Genics or something and they could promise us Meat Boy would be in the game we’d develop Mew-Genics for them. Not exclusively, of course. This is how they would buy it from us. And that’s a very cheap price.”

Level-5 brought almost all of Guild01’s games over to the North American and European 3DS eShops. The company likely has similar plans for Guild02. Trademarks for Bugs vs. Tanks! and The Starship Damrey have both been filed in the US.

Guild02 does have a third game: Monsters Come Out on Friday. There doesn’t appear to be a trademark for the title in the US, so this one could be staying in Japan.
