The upcoming Minecraft Dungeons video game came about as a result of experimenting with Nintendo 3DS development. Jens Bergensten who is the chief creative officer at Mojang revealed this nugget of information in the new Minecraft Dungeons Diaries: Origins video. Here’s what was said for those unable to view the video:
“It all started when we were trying to figure out a cool Minecraft-style game for the Nintendo 3DS.”
“We toyed with a bunch of different ideas, but finally making a dungeon crawler was something that really struck a chord with us.”

And yet, there are no plans for a 3DS version? I am of course kidding, the only games coming out on the 3DS are other occasional eShop game. Which is a shame, it’s still a good system. I will be Amazoning DS and 3DS games for a long while.
