When almost everything including a original raspberry pi can play this game for free I'm not sure why this is news worthy.

1 of the negatives against the wii u was no minecraft (i'm talking about for my 6 yr nephew, he loves nintendo games but also a big minecraft fan), so i think this is good & welcome news

This is actually a big deal, Minecraft is huge with kids. It might be too late though, Nintendo really should've made it happen awhile ago.

What's the difference between playing this on a PC vs Wii U ? Both my sons (age 9 & 5), currently play on PC and tablets. Tempted to buy the Wii U version.

You won't gain anything on the Wii U, keep them on the PC - it will be a better experience for them.

+1 Not to mention the crazy ammount mods for PC.
Anyway, when possible, I always try keep my boy away from consoles, and on the PC. He already knows his way around a computer pretty good, including the ability to type very well.

Probably because it just launched on Wii U, whereas its been out a long time on all the other consoles

The other console versions are $20 but this one has $10 worth of skin/texture packs included and priced at $30.
