Minecraft Comes To Nintendo 3DS
Nintendo announced during its latest Direct that Minecraft was coming to the 3DS. If you’re impatient, you won’t have to wait long, either– the Minecraft New Nintendo 3DS edition will be available digitally today, with a retail version of the game coming out later.
The 3DS version of the popular game includes five skin packs and a pair of texture packs. Players will be able to use the system’s touchscreen for inventory, crafting, and for accessing the map. The announcement didn’t mention the special Nintendo-themed world that was featured on the Switch and Wii U versions of the game.
With this release, Minecraft is essentially available on everything that has a screen or can be connected to one, including the (deep breath) PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, PC, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Raspberry Pi.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
