lol mouse look on a stick wouldnt that be better on the stylus touch screen stick nubs are not mouse
I’m assuming this game is like Animal Crossing where things can occur in the game whether you are playing it or not. *is becoming tempted to buy this game on his n3DS*
Hmm I don’t think that’s how it works. It’s on a 24 minute day I believe.
“Based on Pocket Edition 0.15.4, which launched July 2016…”
Ouch, the Vita version, if the same, sucks. The Wii U version is loads better. Oh well, it’s something I guess.
They’ll update it. The next 6 to 8 months won’t do Online and Crossplay, but they will after the first 6 to 8 months. Everything is made from the ground up for this version.
I have the PC version already, so I’m good.
I dont have this game..so i’m ..better?:P
its literally the same price (30$) on switch and its 10000x worse in every possible way.
It’s made from the ground up for this version, so it will take time to add everything. Best to check it out in 2019 after a million updates have happened.
Crazy that the New 3DS Edition has bigger worlds than the Wii U Edition.
The other versions are ports. Only the PC & New 3DS versions are made from the ground up. Same goes for Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed.
