    Available Now on eShop. $29.99

    Just a few months after we brought Minecraft to Nintendo Switch, we're double-dipping with the big N to bring the game to New Nintendo 3DS. Whatever next, an N64 port? Get on it, Jens!

    We want to stress that the game is only on New Nintendo 3DS, and we've used all the technical might of the dual-screened wonder machine to give you world sizes of 2016x2016 and 128 blocks high – that's even larger than the worlds on the Wii U version! Multiplayer won't be available at launch but we will be adding local multiplayer in a future update. This edition's closest equivalent is 0.15.4 of Minecraft: Pocket Edition, and we'll be continuing to update from there!

    That dual screen setup helps make crafting easier than ever, with quicker access to your inventory and a handy map on the touch screen, perfect for charting out your worlds. Take a scroll through some screenshots below:

    We've also bundled five skin packs and two texture packs with this version of the game. Which ones, you ask? Well why not head over to the Nintendo 3DS eShop and find out? As it's available right now in America (And in Europe very very soon!) Happy crafting!

    Here's the clip from the Direct:

     
  3. Looks great. I think this New 3DS version of Minecraft is a lot better than Pocket Edition for Android and iOS, especially as the player can choose the touch screen or button controls. It would have been nice to see it for the original 3DS as well, but it isn't too big of a deal, especially with the launch of the New 2DS back in July.

    Well that just great that we got a new Minecraft port and that port is for a handheld console.
    To be honest i would prefer playing Minecraft on handheld rather than a phone if i had to choose (and i am not playing it on phone by the way), but i am not going to get a handheld console just for that.

    If someone was gonna buy a handheld exclusively for Minecraft I'd definitely suggest they look into the Switch instead. It's a nice option but definitely not a system seller for the 3ds at this point.

    It isn't that surprising considering what success Minecraft is so it's to be expected it has multiple ports for different platforms like mobile devices, operating systems and consoles!
