Minecraft: Story Mode coming to Wii U this week

Minecraft classic is not the only franchise entry coming to Wii U.

Tellatale has announced that Minecraft: Story Mode, the adventure game set in the Minecraft universe, is coming to Wii U this week.

The first episode, The Order of the Stone, hits the eShop in North America and Europe January 21, priced $5. The rest of the season will be made available in the coming weeks.

A season pass will also be made available for $20, giving everyone access to episodes two through five. Story Mode also takes advantage of the console's GamePad with off-TV play and screen mirroring. Touch controls are also incorporated into gameplay.

Minecraft itself came to the Wii U only a few short weeks ago, after being rumoured for a while.
