Development
In late 2013, Mojang founder Markus Persson announced that there were no plans to port Minecraft to the Wii U, stating that he wasn't aware of any plans but agreed that "a Wii U version would make sense."[10]
In June 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto and Shinya Takahashi were brought up the question of porting Minecraft to the Wii U. Miyamoto stated:

In September 2014, Mojang's Daniel Kaplan reiterated that there were no plans to bring Minecraft to the Wii U because he claimed that the user base for the Wii U was "very small".[12] This was not the case at the time of this post, as the Wii U was ahead of the Xbox One in terms of sales around the same time.
At Minecon 2015, Mojang's COO Vu Bui was also brought up the question of porting Minecraft to the Wii U. Bui stated:

On November 11, 2015, PEGI accidentally leaked a rating for a Wii U Edition of Minecraft, which was removed six days later.[14][15]
On December 7, 2015, Mojang and Nintendo officially announced that a Wii U Edition would be released on December 17th of the same year.[9]
Gameplay
The Wii U Edition features Off-TV Play, allowing the game to be played only on the GamePad. There is already very limited touchscreen functionality, allowing players to select items on their hotbar, navigate through the Crafting menu, and more. When asked about whether the GamePad could be used as a second screen for full inventory management, Owen Hill stated that it will not be available at launch, however said that it may be added in the future.[16] Mii characters are able to be used as your in-game username. The game is also playable with the Wii U Pro Controller or the Wii Classic Controller.
DLC
Minecraft: Wii U Edition comes with six of the "most popular add-on packs" included within the game.[17] This is the reason that the Wii U Edition is more expensive than all of the other versions of the Console Edition.[18]
The following DLC is included in the Wii U Edition:[17]
Trivia
- The Wii U Edition is the most expensive edition of Minecraft to date, at $29.99.
- This is due to the game releasing with 6 add-on packs included.
- All DLC included with the Wii U Edition are the same as the Xbox One Edition Holiday Pack, with the exception of the Halo Mash-up pack.
- This is ahead of the computer edition of Minecraft by just $3.04.
