Minecraft 3DS

Mojang AB’s Tommaso Checchi, writing in a recent Reddit thread, mentioned that the 3DS would have to settle for Minecraft: Pocket Edition – if it were to happen, that is.

Checci said that the a version for Nintendo’s portable would likely be based on the 0.8 version of Pocket Edition and would be “graphically downscaled”. On 3DS, Minecraft would also never offer infinite worlds.

3DS would never have infinite worlds though, AFAIK [as far as I know] it could at most get a graphically downscaled version of 0.8…

A Pac-man double today, the first shot details the 3DS exclusive stage:

Pac-Maze is a stage exclusive to the 3DS version, created in the Pac-Man motif. If you eat 100 Pac-Dots, Power Pellets will appear in your color.

Sakurai continues, drawing focus to the series’ trademark power pellets:

If you eat a Power Pellet, the monsters will become vulnerable and you can defeat them just by touching them. An important point is that the monsters will become vulnerable only on your screen, which means that they can still damage your opponents!! This is one of the unique game features only possible in the 3DS version.
