Maybe they're prepping Minecraft for the Wii U.
Or maybe it was just a strange decision with no larger implications.

Not releasing minecraft on the Wii U is a crime. Shit is perfect for the gamepad.

It's weird to think Microsoft is funding a game that is heading to the WiiU.

3rd party is back with a vengeance
money is money tho
there are MS-published games on GBA so it's not unprecedented

The official source of the news
http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/26/9207085/minecraft-story-mode-telltale-games-interview
This announcement has two implications
- Maybe Minecraft is indeed coming to Wii U
- That Walking Dead Season 1+2 Wii U listing on Game.co.uk could be true, then

Ok.
Why?

MS transitioning into 3rd party developer/publisher confirmed.
because the "game" part of it wasnt exactly interesting....
The story was pretty nice. Maybe because it was short, but it felt better than Tv walking dead
That's not the same thing: Microsoft never released a handheld, so having games on GBA was no problem at all since it wasn't a direct competitor.
Then again, this is also special... Minecraft is way too big to remain on Microsoft platforms only.
When the Pilotwings stage was revealed on Miiverse, a bunch of people thought it was Minecraft.
Mojang talked about Nintendo platforms some months ago, clearly something is going on.
I hope it's not just Story Mode.
Maybe the real game is heading to NX at launch? The most popular game among kids of the moment coming out for the newest console from Nintendo? It could be huge, even if the game is playable on any other system or device.

It's a joke about how miiversers thought the Pilotwings stage was a Minecraft stage.
Edit: Beaten, but here's the pic.

Maybe indeed. And this could be the mythical tantalus port we've been waiting for.

Would be a real not so subtle way for MS to get its hands on NX dev kits.
MS "hey we want to make Minecraft a launch game for the NX"
Nintendo. "...."
MS "Fine. No Minecraft for you. EVER"
But if this is true this is such a weird thing to happen before actual Minecraft game on the platform as well.

Minecraft would be a perfect fit for Wii U. Took them forever to put it out, though.
Probably not the best game to debut the franchise on the platform, nor the developer's first game on there but it seems likely that both Normal Minecraft and the walking dead games are coming to the platform

To be fair, this looks more of a game than Minecraft anyways.
Minecraft, to me at least, screams software toy, not that that is a bad thing in the least. Lots of great software toys around, like Wii Music.
Do publishers normally get dev kits? I always thought it was just the devs. Telltale is developing this right?
...What? This is like saying LBP isn't a game...

I did not know this game even existed until now. Seems rather odd but then again I thought the same thing about the Telltale Borderlands game.
Hopefully does well so Nintendo players can get some more 3rd party games in the future.

You just sound bitter about not getting MC on WiiU ...

And that there apparently is a Minecraft convention.

I honestly don't see as suprising given that it's on every system aside from Nintendo's, even Vita. And the Wii U and it's 44k units per month in the U.S. is not exactly big competition for the Xbox.

Oh its a telltale game. Nevermind.

Minecon is very large. I think it set the record for the biggest convention for one video game.

Do you mean Cube Life: Island Survival: Story Mode?
That one shameless MC rip-off that's always featured on my Wii U menu.

Weird weird weird
If this is the only Minecraft game to ever hit Wii U.....even weirder.

It has the word Minecraft in it. Between the toys, apparel and accessories, Minecraft prints money.
