Nintendo is finally getting some Telltale love.

Telltale promises that additional episodes will follow in the coming weeks. Players can also buy a $20 season pass that nets them episodes 2 through 5 once they become available.
Telltales has had episodic hits based on The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Borderlands, but none of them have come out for Wii U. This is the developer’s first game to reach Nintendo’s newest console. Previously, Minecraft: Story Mode was on just about every platform imaginable, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Vita, and mobile.
The original Minecraft is also available for Wii U. It came out for that platform on December 17, 2015.
