Minecraft Wii U Edition

Last month, right before the latest Nintendo Direct, a rating for Minecraft Wii U Edition has surfaced on the PEGI official website, pretty much confirming that the popular game created by Mojang was going to be released soon on the Nintendo home console. Not much has been said on the matter following the November’s Nintendo Direct but earlier this week Nintendo finally confirmed that Minecraft will indeed be coming to Wii U very soon. Some of this edition’s features have been revealed in the past few days and something new has emerged online today thanks to Mojang’s director of creative communications.

A few hours ago a Minecraft fan asked Owen Hill about the Minecraft Wii U Edition Gamepad features and if it could be used for crafting and inventory. Unfortunately it’s been confirmed that the Gamepad can only be used as a second screen. This is definitely disappointing, considering proper Gamepad implementation could have made this version of the game stand out from all the others.

As mentioned above, Nintendo revealed the first details on Minecraft Wii U Edition earlier this week. The Japanese publisher has confirmed that free DLC packs will be available when the game releases, such as the Battle & Beasts Skin Pack, Battle & Beasts 2 Skin Pack, Natural Texture Pack, City Texture Pack, Fantasy Texture Pack, and Festive Mash-Up Pack. Other paid DLC packs will also be made available, packs like The Simpsons Skin Pack, two Doctor Who Skin Packs, three Star Wars Skin packs and more.

Minecraft Wii U Edition will be released on December 17th in all regions. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more comes in on it as soon as possible so stay tuned for all the latest news on the new edition of the popular game developed by Mojang.

Since the excellent Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out in the wild for a while, interesting data can be gleaned, such as how players choose to play an innovative new RPG from home. Stats from developer Larian Studios and posted on the PlayStation Blog show that most people want to play as a stealthy archer like in Skyrim when given nearly limitless options.

According to a fascinating graph, Rogue/Ranger is the most popular multiclass build, with over 175,000 players using it to snipe unsuspecting enemies from range. The next two builds reveal similarly. 150,000 played Barbarian/Fighter because they loved pummeling things, and 109,00 played Barbarian/Paladin, which lets players talk to their victims before beatings.

More sense emerges as you descend. If the Paladin/Warlock/Sorcerer/Bard has high Charisma, any combination can be interesting. Charisma helps these classes cast spells and abilities and interact with NPCs outside of combat.

Playing a single class through Baldur’s Gate 3 feels great, which is what most players do. A pure Fighter or Wizard becomes so powerful by game’s end that we don’t blame you for not mixing things up!

Play as a Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin, Dark Urge Origin (which you must resist), or Bard for real moral dilemmas. You could also play pseudo-Aragorn again.

Techland is continuing to release Dying Light 2 content as part of its long-term support. This is surprising since the meaty Good Night, Good Luck update was released a few months ago. It’s nice to know what’s coming, but no timeline was given.

IGN-exclusive roadmap trailers reveal more co-op missions, board quests, a tower raid, and replayable GRE anomalies. Executions and finishers may be added to the April Gut Feeling update, which overhauled melee mechanics. Graphical options, weapon repair, gear, and mod dismantling are always welcome.

Knives, polearms, and more enemy variants are coming, including a Nightmare difficulty. Changes to NG+ include firearms. Players can finally dress to their hearts’ content with new cosmetic options.

Has Techland’s Dying Light 2 support lured you back? Would you rather focus on something new?

Epic Games expanded the Fortnite V-Buck “pricing alignment” after laying off almost 900 employees, citing “inflation and currency fluctuations”. Fortnite’s premium currency will rise in international markets, including the largest.

Epic Games will raise the price of V-Bucks and real money content packs in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Eurozone countries, Hungary, Japan, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, and the US (including all US Dollar storefronts) on October 27.

Raising the price of this fictitious currency was successful when the company trialed it in the UK, Canada, and Mexico, so it was decided to announce it worldwide now. These USD increases range from $1 (1000 V-Bucks, previous $7.99) to $10 (13,500 V-Bucks, previous $79.99).
