1 and 2. Sony already declined Minecraft, and you're correct that the OUYA will most likely screw them, but what does that have to do with the Wii U?
3. Nintendo and Mojang both have said no. Nintendo doesn't want to because they focus on Japan, and Minecraft isn't liked much in Japan. Mojang doesn't want to because Nintendo isn't liked much by Minecraft players, and because the Wii U's graphics are crap.
4. Well, Minecraft is scheduled to be one of the OUYA's pack-in games, so the exclusivity contract with Microsoft must have been cancelled or something.
I'm saying, if Sony goes under, their work on the PS3 will be pointless. And can you link me to Sony and Nintendo's decline of Minecraft? I'm not trying to be snarky here, I'm just curious.
As to number 4, I believe it's a loophole. Since it runs Android, and mobile devices run Android, you can buy Minecraft on OUYA. That's my understanding, at least.
This is nice concept art and everything, but both Mojang and Nintendo don't want it, so it won't happen. Nintendo focuses on Japan, and Minecraft isn't very popular there. Likewise, Nintendo isn't really liked by most Minecraft players either.
Edit: However, the touchpad inventory thing is AWESOME! If it was made for Xbox Smartglass and (in June) an Android tablet connected to the OUYA, it would be great.
Edit again: In case you don't know what the OUYA is, it's an Android console coming out in June, and Minecraft will be one of its 8 pack-in games.
When has Nintendo said they don't want to do it? Or even, when haws Mojang said that? all Jens said was that it was unlikely.
Also, I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE OUYA!!!
Thinking back on it, I think it would make more sense for Mojang to go after the Wii U first. For four reasons,
1. Backwards compatibility is not a 100% certainty for the PS4, so it would have be made again in just a few months
2. Sony is currently struggling to maintain it's gaming system status, and talks of Ouya (or however you spell it) or the Steam Box killing it off have appeared.
3. I've seen countless Miiverse (To those who don't know, imagine Facebook ran by Nintendo, on the Wii U) posts relating to Minecraft.
4. I don't seem to remember Nintendo holding exclusivity contracts very long, if at all. Might be wrong on this one. Oh, also, how do you put the banner in your signature? I'm having issues with it
EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out
1. Well, by the time the contract ends, it may just be easier and better if they made it for the PS4.
2. Watch your step, Sony.
3. Oh yeah. I'm sure lots of people would buy it. Even people who have never played Minecraft. If they see it on the Wii U, they may buy it wondering what the hype is all about.
4. Not really sure. To be honest, most of the Nintendo Exclusive games I care about are Nintendo made games. xP Most of them, anyway.

I would like the link to Nintendo and Sony declining Minecraft, too, so I can get more information about it. Thanks!
wow 5 pages 0_o. your doing good hopper . wee need up to 100 or more pages people XD. get this post known
hmm an idea just sturck my mind :/ light bulb. since the wii u has usb ports and an actualy computer memory this could be a possibility for uploading texture packs for MC wii u and since the wii u has 1080p graphics it alows texture packs that need patchers to not have patchers. with the wii u uploading texture packs is totaly possible.
Thank you!
Well, While that's true, so could any of the other consoles. And, texture packs don't really rely on how high of a resolution the game is running, what really matters is how the game is made and how the textures are used. That's why you need a patcher, so you can get the game to use the HD texture correctly.

Your signature looks good. Thank you

Texture packs would be a cool addition though.
