Here’s a random stat about the Dragon Quest X Wii U beta. In order to add the download to a Wii U console, you’ll need 5.94GB of space. The game just barely fits on a Basic Set.

One other note – Dragon Quest X Wii U save data comes in at 8MB.

Big John Games announced on Twitter yesterday that Nintendo has approved the company as an official Wii U developer. The team is “exploring how to bring awesome gaming experiences” for the console, but couldn’t provide any specifics just yet.

Big John Games just released Coaster Creator 3D on the 3DS eShop last week. The game can be purchased for $9.99.

When Nintendo said they were trying to be indie friendly (or rather, indie developers said Nintendo was trying to be indie friendly), I was honestly pretty skeptical given the Big N’s past with digital download shops, but today yet another game developer has said they’ll likely bring their next game to the Wii U if they reach their Kickstarter goal.

Robotoki’s game The Adventures of Dash is a really artistically interesting sidescrolling puzzle game that’s coming to PC in the future, and I would be completely okay with seeing it hit Wii U as well! I absolutely love how many developers we’re seeing say “Yea, we’ll definitely try and bring our game to Wii U”, and I can’t help but feel a teeny tiny bit of extra joy that they’re only mentioning Wii U as of now– no other systems. Nintendo might finally be doing download shops correctly!

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?
