A listing for Genei Ibun Roku #FE on Nintendo’s Japanese website confirms a few details about the title.

First, while the GamePad is naturally compatible, off-TV play will not be supported. Players can also choose to use the Wii U Pro Controller.

DLC will be a feature in Genei Ibun Roku #FE, and this can be accessed on the main menu by selecting “Shop”. There will be additional costumes as expected, but there will also be more quests offered to strengthen characters.

Minecraft: Wii U Edition won’t let players manage their inventory by using the GamePad. Instead, the controller simply acts as an alternate screen for off-TV play. So says Mojang’s Owen Hill, who tweeted the following yesterday:

This really feels like something that would make Minecraft much, much better on Wii U. Hopefully the functionality will be considered for a future update.
