Well, what's left for us is just to wait. We WILL have this update until the end of the week and we WILL have lots of fun with it, just give Microsoft and Sony some more time to test the game before it reaches us
Also, if anyone's unaware, Microsoft Studios just livestreamed a "sneak peek" of the new Tutorial Map for TU31 yesterday, planned to come out this week. Enjoy the available features!
Just repeatedly clicking "Check for update" and hoping it changes before I sleep..
They removed the static / fuzzy banner on their twitter when they announced WiiU Edition so it might not come today. But...come oooon 4j I'm just hoping it comes later in the day

Don't kid yourself, no company is going to 'hold' a product till another company is ready. Especially when it comes to Microsoft and Sony.
Aaaand Microsoft Studios twitter just said: Both Playstation & Xbox will be released at the same time.
Looks like they held the product until both companies were ready

One unnoted update is that multiple texture packs now have a few animated blocks. The Natural and Fantasy (among others) have animated lights; the Candy has twinkling diamond blocks, emerald blocks, and obsidian; dandelions and not-poppies move in the Cartoon and Candy packs with sunflowers doing a thing in Candy; soul sand is extra spooky in Pattern; jungle logs change colours in Festive; I have no idea about Greek or Halloween 2015 due to a bug with unowned packs right now. Nice little touches!
Has anyone found the Stronghold in the new Tutorial world? I went into creative to try and find it. The Eye of Ender led me to map coordinates X: -109, Y: 84, Z: 2. I've dug down in the vicinity of those coordinates and have found nothing.

WIP 128x 64x, SEUS support, Mod support in the pipeline TEKKIT, FTB, the more support the more mods!

Thanks guys. I found the End Portal. Here's the kicker. The co-ords I gave had me in the forest. The End Portal is under the town, nowhere near where the Eye of Ender was taking me. I found it by just exploring a cave near the town.

I suspect that the tutorial world is not a natural seed, but a "manufactured" one by 4J in which they forced the generation of everything they needed to show in the tutorial. One hint of this is that the seed # it shows is "0" and if you type in "0," the seed that generates is numbered "48." However, if you want to have everything in a survival world, then playing on in the tutuorial is a person's best bet at the moment. I've generated a 100 or more seeds so far and not a single one has even come close to having the biome diversity that the tutorial world has.

Yeah, the tutorial seed clearly wasn't made in the actual seed generator we got. The desert temple uses wool instead of clay for a start!
I've been thinking that perhaps 4J should manufacture a pack (free DLC) of maps that are guaranteed to contain all the woods, flowers, raw materials, and generated structures now in the game minus the fancy builds they put into the tutorial. They could also do a pack of specialized "single-type" biome maps (e.g. survival island, all mega, etc.) for them of us who like that sort of thing... of course, leaving all of them with a valid "survival" status re leaderboards and achievements.
It would at least enable some of us to get off this seed-generating rollercoaster and start playing the game.

Retired StaffWell, the Twitter banner was changed to static. Usually means an update is coming very soon!
Could just be for the WiiU Edition releasing tomorrow, but it seems reasonable that they'd release both at roughly the same time.

Retired StaffI suppose that could be the case too. But I've seen a pattern of this in the past right before updates as well. Maybe both are true?

It won't, most likely. We will have to wait until tomorrow, they won't probably do anything with this TU31 today, sadly.

Got em!
the update is out. My Minecraft is updating now.

Perpetually negative
This is a better thread on the same subject, except this one gives the actual coordinates of the end portal:

I second this. My friend has done the same.
