Minecraft: new update coming out later today

A few weeks ago, the Wii U version of Minecraft got a major update. It added quite a lot of additional elements, along with the usual bug fixes. And earlier today, 4JStudios announced that an another update would be released later today: it’s not quite as big as the previous one, but the changelog is still rather long.

The good news is: the update isn’t just about bug fixes, there’s also some new features. One of them is going to please players who prefer to use the Classic Controller to play, as the update will add compatibility for this controller. Also, achievements will be added, along with a brand new Skin Pack (based on Minecraft: Story Mode).

Here’s the full list of additions, changes and bug fixes coming to the Wii U version of Minecraft:

Added Story Mode skin pack.
