Rumour: Terraria Building onto 3DS, Wii U?

When Terraria came out I thought it was a hideous re-imagining of Minecraft. Then it gained tons of popularity and I've heard nothing but praise for it. If it did come to Nintendo platforms, I might be swayed to finally give it a try on Wii U. Technically I don't have to wait though, I have received it for free on both my Vita (PS+ game) and phone (Amazon Store Free App of the Day).

I think it could work very well on Wii U and 3DS (it'll most likely be New 3DS only; the dev has stated in the past that the 3DS hardware can't run it). I imagine the touch screen for both could show like a zoomed-in version of the area around the character for touch screen control and better object placement. That would be neat.

I've said before I don't like the game, but I've been looking to give it another shot on PC. Maybe I'll get around to that sooner rather than later.

I think it would be great to see both of them released on Nintendo platforms, tbh. I know I'll be picking this up again on Wii U, if this is the case.

I've been playing Terraria all night. I remember what I hated about it (absolutely no useful in-game info, you have to spend hours reading/watching videos online to figure out the basic game mechanics) but once you get past it it's a fun, addictive game.

Not sure I'd re-buy it, they would have to throw in some good stuff. Like I said, touch screen controls come to mind.

Actually, the seemingly useless Guide is rather helpful, surprisingly.

Which also reminds me, Minecraft is even worse when it comes to explaining stuff in-game. You're pretty much spawned into a world, expected to know what to do. Not only that, but the crafting recipes are more difficult, due to the fact that you have to actually arrange the materials in the correct place of the crafting square.

Obviously there's a tutorial in the console version and a noob-friendly crafting system, but I think the console version of Terraria also has tutorials and the likes. I'd need someone else to confirm this though.

I had no idea you could give stuff to the guide. All I knew was he kept saying stuff like "build a house!" but not telling me at all how lol.

I would get this but... "published by 505 games" these guys gimped how to survive with no online & no future dlc AND making the infamous wii u port of sniper elite V2 with no online, no dlc, no leraderbords and charging 60 buck for that! REALLY!? I know nintendo home consoles are for 1st party tiltes only but MY GOD AT LEAST TRY 505 GAMES & OTHER 3RD PARTY DEVS! -___-
