As senior manager of Nintendo's third party relations, Damon Baker has lots of experience working with developers on special collaborations. Minecraft: Wii U Edition's Mario Mash up pack, a free update coming this week, set a new milestone for him. "This is the most IP integration in a third-party game that I can remember," Baker told IGN.
Baker isn't kidding. A collaboration between Nintendo, Minecraft-maker Mojang, and developer 4J Studios pulled out all the stops to put Mario in this Wii U-exclusive mash-up pack. Gamers will find 40 Mario-themed skins, which they can use to dress up the game's characters as familiar heroes and villains from the Mushroom Kingdom. All the world and item textures are redone, letting players create their own Super Mario-themed locations. Nintendo also licensed 15 pieces of music from Super Mario 64. Enemies have been re-skinned as well. The update transforms wolves into Poochy and sheep into Koopas. Despite the new look and sound, Baker assures us Minecraft's base gameplay has not changed.
