Minecraft for the Wii U Announced

So the big announcement for Monday was actually Minecraft for the Wii U, or Minecraft Wii U Edition. It already has the release date of December 17, 2015, right in time for the holidays.
But there's just a little problem, no one really seems to care. Yeah for some people this is really exciting, but the majority of the gaming community seems to really care less, with some people saying that it's pointless because with the NX rumored to be coming next year, it doesn't really seem that putting Minecraft on the Wii U will do any good, and this is something that should have been done back in 2013. Though all of these things are understandable, and pretty much true, it's nice to see the game finally come to the Wii U, and it'll be another game you can put on your bucket list of Wii U games for this holiday, along with the "amazing" holiday line up Nintendo has already.

Once again, Minecraft for the Wii U will release on December 17, 2015 and will included six game packs, with more being planned for the future, along with off TV play. So what do you think, is Minecraft for the Wii U pointless at this point, or your just happy that it's here now.

The ppresentation will broadcast on December 15, 2015.

Last but definatly not least is Cloud, from FinalFantasy VII, joins Smash Bros. as a new fighter!
A trailer was shown of his move set and stage he'll come with, and there's no information on when he'll release or if he was the Smash Ballot Winner. It's just good to see him in the game.
So that was the Nintendo Direct, brought new information on games and made new announcements like any other Direct. By the looks of it, we might not get another one until next year, which is fine this one did it's job and lets just hope for the best in the future.

                                                               Gaming in General

I'll like to start this by just talking about the Gaming Industry in general. It's a little tough to figure out when exactly gaming started, but ever since the 1980's it has defiantly grew to this mega ton giant. Though it's argued that it has fallen in the last decade, it's still staying alfoat and only time will tell if it'll stay that way.
