Huh? Well this is a kick in the teeth.
Speaking to a fan on Twitter, Mojang’s director of creative communications Owen Hill recently confirmed that the upcoming Wii U Edition of Minecraft will not support item management by way of the GamePad. In other words, off-TV play is in, but you can’t actually use the GamePad in a manner that would make the Wii U port unique in any way.
We also haven’t heard of support for a second player, by way of split-screen, to use the GamePad either (like Hyrule Warriors). For as late as this port is, it seems bare-bones — pretty much everyone who wants Minecraft already has it. I wonder how much muscle Microsoft uses in regards to the inclusion of extra features on other platforms.
