    Terrible. I claims that you can connect other controllers to the game by clicking start, but there is no response to that from the game, when it says that is how to put it in. I want a refund, and I want the local multiplayer to work. To connect those controllers, they need to be Wii U pro controllers, or else they don't work. A classic controller should be able to be used, but it isn't.

    If got this to play with your friends, I hope you have a Wii U pro controller because that is what you need to play local multiplayer. Minecraft: Wii U Edition is basically a port of Minecraft for the Xbox 360. The world still ends and the menus are stupid along with the many other problems the Xbox 360 version had.

    Minecraft: Wii U Edition is, well, Minecraft. But. It doesn't support old Wii controllers and the Game Pad -integration could be better, like own screen for a second player and a touchscreen inventory. [Feb 2016]

    Almost anything is possible in Minecraft: Wii U Edition. [Issue #19 – January/February 2016, p.21]

    With the added skins and GamePad play, the extra ten bucks is more than justified, making the Wii U edition of Minecraft an excellent starting point for new players and one that casual gamers will enjoy as well.
