Mojang dev on what sort of experience Minecraft would be on 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 21 Comments
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…
