Minecraft for 360 News

As I originally thought, it was going to be release on the 17th, but supposedly Microsoft declined and wants to wait for a date they are happy with--even though it is finished. Not sure what the wait is for then, unless they want to do some kind of joke and release it April 1st or something. Anyways, this it what it said.

"The Xbox 360 version of the game, developed by 4J Studios, will support Kinect play and cross-platform playability with the PC version. At the Game Developers Conference, it is said the Minecraft for XBLA is coming out on the 17th of March 2012. However, Daniel Kaplan said on Twitter that it is Microsoft's decision on when it will be released, 4J studios have told Microsoft that the game is ready for release, now Microsoft are waiting for a date that they are happy to release."

Yes, they did. I have no idea why Microsoft has decided to wait if it is all ready. It is a download... not a retail game for goodness sake.

Something smells fishy...

Agreed. I bet they plan to release a joke version or something April 1st and then update it to the full game afterwards to the real one or something...

Maybe running tests.

Or they are ready to money grab.

Probably but its making me kinda mad cause i was looking forward to buying it but now i gotta wait

Yeah, IDK why Microsoft does this stuff. >_<

At least we know it is supposedly 'ready' for release...

I believe it was a small update, so it shouldn't affect our upgrade wait too much.

They added new colors to the wooden planks depending on which tree you got them from. Then they Made the Cats a little more annoying

Will the colors apply to buildings already made with wooden planks? Cause I used a lot of different colored wood to build my home...

From what I've seen No it shouldn't. On the clan map we're going to have to start making a Tree Farm somewhere and we're actually going to have to go find every single type of tree before we start the farm
