Minecraft has come a long ways since its early days in beta on PC, selling millions of copies and launching on almost every dedicated gaming platform. Unfortunately for Nintendo fans, the popular sandbox game never came to Wii U, and now that Microsoft has shelled out $2.5 billion to acquire Minecraft developer Mojang, chances are pretty good it never will. However, a new campaign called “Operation Sparticus” (they might want to check on that spelling) looks to create a similar game as a Wii U exclusive.

Several licensed Wii U devs are working together to create

U Craft, a self-proclaimed Minecraft clone for Nintendo’s home console. The first images are to be revealed tomorrow, but the primary developer will remain anonymous for now. In the coming days after the initial reveal, other (presumably also anonymous) developers will release content as well, as this is a team effort between multiple indie studios. Will this project come together, or will Microsoft have a few choice words after the reveal? We’ll keep you posted.
