Last week a mysterious press release and screenshots were sent out to various Nintendo gaming sites explaining that they were operating a guerrilla marketing campaign for a new Minecraft Clone for Wii U called U Craft. Today it was revealed that this Minecraft Clone for Wii U’s developer is Nexis Games, a small indie developer who has created several less-than-popular download titles for the latest generation of systems.
The Wii U has a noticeable gap in its lack of Minecraft, with Microsoft, who recently purchased the game’s developer Mojang, currently having no plans to port the popular sandbox game over to the system. Nexis Games is unproven, and it remains to be seen whether they can do the block-building sandbox game justice in their vision of what a Wii U Minecraft should be.
They claimed today that they will put up video footage of the game when they hit 1000 followers. At the time of writing they have 108:
The studio has claimed that U Craft could arrive on the Wii U eshop before Christmas.
