This is certainly an unexpected announcement. Mojang’s acclaimed sandbox game is coming to the New Nintendo 3DS. It’s releasing “soon” on the 3DS eShop, but a packaged version is coming later.

I wasn’t expecting this at all. Like… wow.
Feels kinda late since the Switch version is out already though.
Some still don’t own a Switch.
I know the New 3DS is more powerful, but I thought it still wouldn’t handle Minecraft. Glad to be wrong.
I’m really curious how it runs. Want to know the world size stuff.
According to Minecraft official site, the world is 2016×2016 and 128 blocks high.
Not bad for the 3DS. I’m impressed. Although distance rendering is kinda poor. Gives it a Silent Hill vibe. XD
Completely surprised.
