Minecraft: Story Mode has had something of a spotty relationship with the Wii U. After the initial episode launched, there was a period of several months before episodes 2-5 made it onto the console, and there were still episodes available on other platforms that were nowhere to be found on Wii U. It's been rather unclear when – or if – these latter episodes would become available for Wii U, but a recent PEGI listing seems to suggest that there might be hope.
A listing recently went up on PEGI's site for Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure on Wii U, suggesting several things. For one, Minecraft: Story Mode is finally coming to Europe; two, all episodes are coming to Wii U; and three, it's getting a physical release. Of course, none of this has been officially announced, so nothing's set in stone, but this could certainly be a sign of things to come. Hopefully, this'll also be made available in North America, too.
What do you think? Will you be getting this? What do you think of Telltale games? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Did anyone... care?
I found minecraft wii u in the bargain bin for 20 Canadian. I have never played so I picked it up. I'm guessing I'm one of the only people out in the wild that has not played minecraft.
I'll buy it for my collection eventually at a cheap price but I've no interest in playing it.
@hendie001 I've bought Minecraft Wii U Edition for twice for two different nephews, they are mad about it... but I've yet to play Minecraft myself, on any platform lol
I've never liked Minecraft as a game in itself... it's just too crude... and struggle to see how any game based on the same mechanics can be any better.
Minecraft is better as a creative medium, acting as a mid-point between things like Lego and proper CAD software, but anything created that way would be stuck in that same area... a step up from playing with toys, but falling short of what you could do with proper CAD software.
I think that also basically sums up the majority of the game's audience as well... people who have outgrown Lego, but still want to play around in the same way, and people who enjoy designing things, but lack training/experience with proper software.
Awesome, I've been holding out for a physical release of Story Mode before picking it up. Hopefully it'll come out this side of Christmas, I'm quite keen to play it.
@SanderEvers I'm aware of that, I read the article, I was replying to @hendie001...
@DragonEleven The Storymode is not based on the same game mechanics. It's a TellTale Story game. It's like saying the new Batman game is based on the same game mechanics as Arkham Asylum.
Minecraft is a giant playground with things to do for all sorts of players. For instance you are ignoring the online gaming aspect where many servers feel like a 3D online multiplayer version of WarioWare.
I personally enjoy the survival aspect where building things is restricted by how you use your resources and then playing with my kids where we end up making an impression on the world that we can look back on and see the history of it. Starting from nothing and completing the game can be quite epic despite some of the limited mechanics and divisive visuals.
There are some players that fit into your generalization, but it is a very limited one that feels like it's made by an outsider with a casual observation.
Sure, cash in on all those Wii U Minecraft players you left out in the cold and then start all over again on the NX.....
i havent played the other episodes yet
Finally I can stop dodging spoilers for the last three episodes soon!
@Ethan_Bricknell - My son certainly cared.
@hendie001
Yes, you really are!
Love TellTale games and been waiting too play this fulling on the Wii U just so there is something extra too play on the system and a physical version would be a bonus.
@hendie001 your not the only one mine craft who XD
