Minecraft: Wii U Edition was updated with the new Super Mario Mash-Up Pack this week. Enthusiastic gamers have since started to upload clips to YouTube, but some have encountered issues with copyright strikes.

Developer 4J Studios took to Twitter earlier today and provided an update on the situation. It turns out that these strikes aren’t supposed to happen, and Nintendo even assured the team that it wouldn’t be a problem. They’re now following up with Nintendo on things.

Here’s the tweet straight from 4J:

We found out earlier this week that a new Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS update is on the way. The patch will bring both games up to version 1.1.6.

It’s not out yet, but the files have already popped up on Nintendo’s servers. Random Talking Bush has been going through the contents and seems to have found that Bayonetta is the only changed character. Just two main files are modified: “param/fighter_param_vl_bayonetta.bin” and “fighter/bayonetta/script/animcmd/game.bin”.

In any case, we’ll let you know when the 1.1.6 patch is available for Smash Bros.
