>REDMOND, Wash., May 9, 2016 – In a match made in block-shaped heaven, Nintendo is partnering with Mojang and Microsoft to bring the imaginative worlds of the Super Mario series and Minecraft together. For the first time ever, players will be able to fend off blocky Hammer Bros. and Dry Bones the same way they do Creepers and Zombies.
>On May 17, the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack comes to Minecraft: Wii U Edition as a free game update. After downloading the update, players who own the Minecraft: Wii U Edition digital game, which launched last December, will have immediate access to new skins, a Super Mario-themed pre-made world and a set of Super Mario-themed music and item textures. All this new content is inspired by games in the iconic Super Mario series, such as Super Mario World, Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. When the retail version of Minecraft: Wii U Edition launches in stores on June 17 at a suggested retail price of $29.99, the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack will be included on the disc.
The Wii U version of Minecraft features the full game, as well as many of the most popular previously released content packs for no extra charge. Downloading the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack gives players 40 new Super Mario-themed skins, which transform the game’s characters into familiar heroes like Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach, and even troublemakers like Bowser, Wario and all seven Koopalings. All the world and item textures in the game will also be redone, providing players the opportunity to create their own Super Mario-themed locations within the world of Minecraft. While building, players will even enjoy listening to the smooth sounds of 15 pieces of music from Super Mario 64. Builders of all ages will love crafting massive new worlds using building blocks inspired by a series as accessible and recognizable as Super Mario.
>Microsoft are the biggest 3rd party supporter of Wii U
This was confirmed by the guy who leaked pokemon sun and moon codename and several 3ds games
Joseph Williams
>Piantas as villagers
It just works too well
Jackson Ramirez
This is pretty cool.
Gabriel Ortiz
HAS
Hudson Morgan
...
Cameron Martin
Thats actually a pretty decent addtion. Mario is one of the few games where the aesthetics match the cubic minecraft aesthetic.
>Microsoft is the 3rd party dev
No, Microsoft isnt a dev, thats Still mojang, but they answer to Microsoft.
Yeah, in pure value they are the biggest 3rd party dev, but in the only 3rd party dev that ACTUALLY makes several games for thr wii u is platinim
Jackson Cruz
>Rosalina made it to minecraft before Daisy
Matthew Rivera
>No, Microsoft isnt a dev, thats Still mojang, but they answer to Microsoft.
Microsoft is the publisher of the Wii U version, m8
Jacob Cook
>Best girl getting a dlc before literally who girl
I fail to see the problem here.
Colton Ross
NO
Oliver Bell
6 years after it mattered. Minecraft makes money but the kids who buy it don't know what Nintendo is. They also don't know why they would pay for something they can get as a mod for free.
Seriously, the average MC player is 10. TEN. Most were born when the Wii itself launched. How does Nintendo expect these kids to know or care about their characters?
Asher Parker
fucking furries
Adam Nelson
>Microsoft are the biggest 3rd party supporter of Wii U
I mean not really? Minecraft was already on every platform and this is literally just some DLC skins.
Xavier Kelly
Financial genius.
Kayden Gonzalez
>Playable Waluigi Welp, now I'm buying it, fuck ya all
Jordan Cooper
I'll just post the reply you want OP, since no one else bothered to.
NINTENDO IS GOIN 3RD PARTY! NINTENDOOMED!!
Jaxson Gutierrez
>Microsoft and Nintendo finally collaborating
YESSSS
>its minecraft mario skins FUIUFWAIFKAW
Noah Carter
nobody here thinks that because this is literally just DLC for a game on their system
that said it's still a crass move
Brody Lopez
Publisher =/= developer
Cooper Williams
>no steve for smash nintendo missed good autism bucks
First of all, it's only on the Wii U version. Second, kids know who mario is because of E-celebs
Grayson Lopez
Actually, Nintendo dodged a huge bullet, just think about the wave of butthurt from rosterfags. Those autists would have attempted a terrorist attack to Nintendo offices.
Luke Gomez
it's happening
Christopher Brown
>it's just skins, textures and pre-made world I was mildly interested for a second, and then I wasn't anymore
Ethan Rodriguez
>Rosalina >best girl
Pick one.
David Rodriguez
>Microsoft willing to put Banjo in Smash >Microsoft willing to create Mario DLC for Minecraft >Microsoft praising Nintendo all the time
>Nintendo do nothing
Matthew Watson
you're right about the Wii U part, but I seriously doubt most kids know about a thing that e-celebs like smosh only mention in passing
Hudson Scott
NX confirmed for a Microsoft/Nintendo collaboration. Nintendo have just been REALLY good at keeping the involvement of Microsoft hidden.
Benjamin Sullivan
THAT Lemmy
Carter Nguyen
It's a gr8 move
Gabriel Green
>rap de minecraft
mi persona de color
Julian Perry
>Horse is still just a Horse
30+ years and we haven't had a horse stand-in in a Mario game?
Anthony Ortiz
>That fucking FLUDD Here's a NOICE! for ants.
Cameron Rivera
And yet still no Gamepad/Inventory integration...
Benjamin Hernandez
>US only Fuck you, Micro$oft.
Brody Young
Call me when they actually implement actual game pad usage for this shitty port
Not having the touch screen usable for the inventory is just fucking lazy.
Jeremiah Rogers
I would say Yoshi would be the closest, but it looks like he's already a character skin.
Asher Miller
If this meant we'd get NX games for PC like what happened to Xbone I'd be all for it, too bad it never will happen
Liam Lopez
Phil loves helping nips out
Aiden Russell
what about Yoshi?
James Reyes
POOCHIE O O C H I E
Jason Jones
STYLE
Caleb White
You are fucking serious...how the hell is that not a fucking feature, wasn't that a thing in like the Deus Ex port, and the MAIN fucking thing with Zombi U?
What the fuck.
Cooper Butler
Well I was more referring to let's players like Game Grumps and Markiplier but doesn't Smosh make shit like "WHAT IF MARIO WAS REEEEAL?"
Brayden Ramirez
>Mojang >Doing something That's the problem.
Camden Hill
I mean, as much as I dislike Minecraft, it's a pretty neat move, and it goes beyond your generic texture packs since it actually adds different models and shit.
Aiden Sanders
ok seriously this makes me want another 3d mario game, kind of like galaxy's puzzle levels
Zachary James
>Nintendo/Microsoft
Hopefully this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship!
Gabriel Rivera
Microsoft already stated that they weren't keeping minecraft hostage
Still nice to see this actually happen
Also no, Platinum is the biggest supporter for Wii U
>being scared
For what? It just shows that even in a late as fuck version, they are still supportive, it shows Nintendo is willing to partner with more third parties, which is something they need to restore with the NX
Luke Lewis
why a delfino plaza area? the game is 14 years old now
Daniel Cook
>its not for PC PCucks ON ACTUAL SUICIDE WATCH!
Parker Scott
Why Peach's Castle area? the game is 20 years old.
Jack Foster
Phil Spencer is okay with it, but Nintendo refuse to acknowledge anything outside of their existence
Leo Garcia
What's the difference between this and a modpack?
Isaac Perry
MS was the ones who brought it to WiiU. Before MS owned minecraft, the WiiU version did not exist.
Alexander Nelson
You have to pa- Oh wait it's actually free. That's nice.
Nicholas King
phil is the shit, saying that as a primary nintendo fan
shame hes straddled with the xbone
Carson Price
Need to update this to NXbox
Henry Phillips
I'm not into Minecraft but that looks neat
Connor Murphy
>Nintendo picks a game as its userbase is dying to have a promotion
Why are they so slow at everything?
Hudson Ortiz
Nice try Slowpoke, April was.... >Nintendo's actual youtube channel ...
So, when can I play DLC this on my Xbox One, and where is our Halo/Mario crossover?
Tyler Cooper
Good Guy Mojang putting more effort into the Wii U than Nintendo is.
Can they stretch this texture pack to cover an entire E3 conference?
Carter Flores
>free thanks nintendo
Blake Ward
Absolutely repulsive.
Isaac Hughes
Because they actually put effort into their cashgrabs
Luke Flores
Literally 4 years too late.
This could have been a huge deal back in 2012/13
Nathaniel Wood
Can they make it that the gamepad is actually used for your inventory?
Justin Cook
Damn give Mario rights to the Jews..
Owen Peterson
dont you mean microsoft
Nathaniel Hughes
>Nintendo and Microsoft finally teaming up to take on the one true evil of gaming: Sony God I'm so happy I could cry right now
Jeremiah Allen
>MFW RIDLEY WILL BE IN...
>KILLER INSTINCT
Cooper Ortiz
>comes out on my birthday
What better way to celebrate turning 26 by being the biggest fucking autist simulator with the biggest manchild skins.
I unironically can't wait!
Dylan Nelson
Don't you mean both?
Isaac Murphy
that would be funny as fuck if microsoft actually give fan-service to nintendo fans
KI is great
Matthew White
no they dont
Grayson Hill
>Together they slay the evil of stagnation: Sony >New golden era of innovative gaming is born Pottery
Luis Robinson
>Good Guy Mojang putting more effort into the Wii U than Nintendo is. Naa, more like >"What haven't we ported Minecraft too for some easy autism shekels?"
Alexander Ortiz
This is what they were doing from 2005-2008 until they both went hyper casual
Ryder Peterson
It's just one shitty game
Calm down drones
Jacob Parker
Wew, chills guys, the console warrior has come to town. Better hide somewhere.
Hunter Nelson
I hope they make a CGI movie where Mario, Link, Krystal, Inklings, Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, The Battle Toads and Steve team up to kill Ken Hirai
Ian Mitchell
Pretty much. Could have done a good bundle with all the Minecraft textures stuff on the box too.
I think Mojang fucked up the pad support though? Don't know if it's patched however.
>this is also the closest you'll get to a more open world Mario game anymore
>0:06-0:12 Man I forgot how sweet the percussion in this song was.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
I mean, it's a smart move. Weird how so much of it is Sunshine-related, though...
Jack Ward
MICROSOFT AND NINTENDO
TEAM UP ONCE MORE THIS YEAR, I IMPLORE YOU
WII60 THIS SHIT
Jordan Turner
>this is also the closest you'll get to a more open world Mario game anymore The day Nintendo will make a "open world" mario game, people will still complain it's shit. What gives.
Lucas Jackson
>Stagnation >Sony >Not Nintendo, the gods of stagnation.
kek
Elijah Bennett
don't you mean all three?
Austin Taylor
Aganos am cry
Julian Anderson
because open world games are shit unless done so on a manageable scale.
Gabriel Kelly
>Weird how so much of it is Sunshine-related, though... It's not that weird considering most people keep praising sunshine since 3D World's release.
Gabriel Campbell
sad thing is this will probably the biggest thing the Wii U will get this year
Jordan Wilson
Nintendo=Chaotic Good Microsoft=Lawful Neutral Sony=True Evil
You know its true
Mason Roberts
Looks cool. Sup Forums won't be allowed to like this DLC
