Minecraft is a sandbox video game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by Mojang.

"Minecraft" on Wii U can now be experienced by a lot of awaiting fans.

"Minecraft" developer, Mojang, has always been open to bringing the blocky sandbox hit game to Nintendo consoles. Since "Minecraft: Story Mode" appeared on Wii U, a lot of fans have expected that the full game will soon make its way to the console. Either way, the announcement made through the official Mojang blog. This has become a pleasant surprise, but triggered a mix of emotions to the game's fanbase.

The "Minecraft" for Wii U gamepad has been revealed to have no inventory management mechanics, although Mojang is reportedly considering in developing it. In addition, Nintendo Life's "Minecraft" eShop listing revealed that it will support a USB keyboard, voice chats, and Wii U Pro Controller.

"Minecraft" developers have also recognized the fans' petition for either a "Minecraft Amiibo" or the gamer avatars such as Alex and Steve, to surface in other games. However, they did not talk about having any current plans saying that Nintendo would have to talk to them and get permission because Amiibo creation is apparently out of their command.

In addition, other game development studios would have to get their permission to have Alex and Steve, as well.

"Minecraft" for Wii U is rolling out on Dec. 17 and will have a price tag of $29.99. It is available for pre-order on the Nintendo eShop, while its retail version is expected to roll out sometime in the days to come. Nintendo and Mojang are also reportedly planning on developing an additional content for the game.
