In North America (and presumably Europe), Mojang is publishing Minecraft: Wii U Edition. But that’s not the case in Japan. Microsoft, the new owner of the IP, is publishing the game directly over there. Kind of makes for an interesting situation!
This Friday, Devil’s Third will finally be released in North America. Take a look at the launch trailer below.
Thanks to Amazon Japan, the boxart for Shin Megami Tensei IV Final is now available. You can get a look at it above.
Polarium Advance is another game hitting the European Wii U Virtual Console on December 10. We have the trailer below.
Minecraft: Wii U Edition was announced as a Wii U eShop title earlier today, but it will also be sold in stores down the road. Mojang’s Kristoffer Jelbring confirmed the news on Twitter while responding to a fan question. A release date for the physical version has not been determined, as Jelbring said it will be offered “at a later date.”
Here’s the relevant tweet:
