Minecraft is coming to Wii U this month

After much speculation and teasing, Mojang will bring their hit game “Minecraft” to Wii U. 4J Studios, the company behind the Xbox 36o version, will be in charge of the Wii U version.

A Wii U version of “Minecraft” has long been speculated, but the idea was seemingly killed when Marcus “Notch” Persson, the game’s original creator, said Mojang had no plans for a Wii U release. Things went further against the Wii U’s favor when it was announced that Microsoft had bought out Mojang. However, Telltale’s “Minecraft: Story Mode” was announced for release on Wii U, despite the original game’s absence. Fortunately, Nintendo and Mojang announced the Wii U version of “Minecraft” on December 7.

What make the Wii U version stand out is the use of off-TV play on the gamepad. In addition, the game will be available for $29.99, the same price as the Xbox One and Playstation 4 versions, and come with six DLC packs.
