Minecraft is now on Nintendo’s upgraded New 3DS systems

Nintendo and Microsoft aren’t afraid to work together when it comes to Minecraft. The block-building phenomenon is already on Wii U and Switch, but now it’s hitting Nintendo’s dedicated handheld. Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition is launching on the eShop today, and you can get it as long as you own a New 3DS, a New 3DS XL, or a 2DS XL. The older, original 3DS and 2DS models are too slow to run Minecraft, apparently.

Minecraft: New 3DS Edition will also get a retail version. Nintendo confirmed the package release is due out at a later date.
