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…

On Facebook, XSEED made a comment that some believed was a suggestion that the company wouldn’t be pursuing “fanservice” games. This actually isn’t the case though.
XSEED localization specialist Tom Lipschultz has since clarified that the publisher isn’t interested in fanservice alone. Titles need to have strong gameplay as well. With something like Senran Kagura, XSEED feels “it has great gameplay, well-developed characters and a fairly deep mythos behind it.”
