Based on the eShop charts Minecraft: Wii U Edition has gone down rather well since its December launch, and no doubt a number of bizarre and wonderful creations are already in place. The latest batch of maintenance does, however, fall right in the middle of prime gaming time in North America, so it's worth bearing in mind.
The maintenance on the game will take down all network services, but only comes in at one hour and forty minutes; not exactly long enough to panic about, but the times are below in any case:
From Tuesday,January 26 at 4:50pm Pacific / 7:50pm Eastern / 12:50am UK (27/01) / 1:50am CET (27/01) until Tuesday January 26 at 6:30pm Pacific / 9:30pm Eastern / 2:30am UK (27/01) / 3:50am CET (27/01)
Will this bring an update to the game? Nah, probably not, but we'll keep an eye on it just in case.
Are you an eShop gamer that's still enjoying Minecraft?

There's gotta be something I need that update haha
Still waiting on a physical release...
@bherdm you'll be waiting a damn while! I waited for a vita physical and what do I get a damn download code!
@DoctorOverbuild Are you saying you got a download code inside a physical case? That's disappointing...
I've bought Minecraft more times than I care to recount, but I was really looking forward to finally getting a disc copy for my Wii U... If it's just a download code, then fogettabout it.
Nintendo Direct incoming, rright fellow fans?!
@Zach777 I hope so.
When hell freezes over you all will get a physical disc. People are so hell bent on physical.
Let me just say that in one week of owning the game, I spent more than 60 hours playing it. Let that sink in.
"2:30am UK (27/01) / 3:50am CET"
The new time offset between UK and CET is 1:20? That's impractical.
@BarryDunne Vita doesn't have a physical cart in the US. Also Xbox 360 and ONE have physical releases.
@bherdm yup it is vita only thing but it sucked
@argh4430 Congratulations.
@BarryDunne @DoctorOverbuild If Vita got the shaft because of its low install base, it's not unlikely that the Wii U release would suffer a similar fate.
@spurgeonryan For traditional AAA games I want physical, however to me Minecraft and the Indie Scene is definitely download only.
@Zach777 I really hope so!
