“We’ll be adding more content packs to Wii U Edition in the near future, and updating the core game with free updates, just like our other platforms,” Mojang added. “As a quick reminder: all DLC packs are optional.

Minecraft: Wii U Edition will also be utilizing the off-tv play. This means that you will be able to continue playing the game on the gamepad when someone else wants to use the TV for something else.
