Just when you thought that Minecraft couldn’t hit any other console, the game is heading to the Nintendo 3DS. Â Set to release in digital version on 9/13, Minecraft 3DS was revealed during the most recent Nintendo Direct.
The digital version will arrive first, but there is a packaged version coming to the handheld at an unspecified date. Â The Minecraft 3DS version includes five skin packs and two texture packs. Â Other details gleaned from the video were that inventory, crafting and map would be handled on the touchscreen. Â While the gameplay would be on the main screen.
Players will be able to choose between button or touch controls for the game.
Nintendo is no stranger to a relationship with Microsoft to put the crafting and building game on their platforms. Â The game just arrived on the Nintendo Switch and we liked it in our review.Â
We won’t need to wait long to see how Minecraft does on the Nintendo 3DS. Â It will get the benefit of the New Nintendo 3DS handhelds. Â The game will only be available for those that own the more recent 3DS systems.
