The incredible popularity of Minecraft has seen it launch for numerous platforms, but despite its sizable install base, the 3DS has not been among them. That changes today, although not everyone with a 3DS will be able to play it.
Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition, as it's called, is titled as such because it doesn't work on all platforms in the 3DS family. It's restricted to use on the New 3DS and New 2DS systems, both of which feature more powerful hardware than the standard 3DS and 2DS systems. This version of the game features both the Survival and Creative modes, as well as two control schemes: standard buttons and touch controls. Additionally, it includes special skin and texture packs, which will presumably be the Nintendo-themed ones we've seen on Wii U and Switch.
The game was announced today during the Nintendo Direct presentation. You won't have to wait long to dive in–an Eshop release for the game is coming today. If you'd prefer a physical copy, however, that is coming, but not until some unspecified point in the future.
You can catch up on today's Nintendo Direct announcements with our roundup of all the news and trailers. Minecraft is one of several new things that Switch and 3DS owners can now download.

Not surprising, but disappointing
In case you hadn't already heard, Minecraft is out on the Nintendo 3DS. While having Minecraft on 3DS is pretty awesome it will unfortunately not be getting the Better Together update.
For those unfamiliar, the aforementioned update will be unifying Minecraft across consoles, Windows 10, and mobile devices.
It seems, however, the 3DS version of the game will be using its own custom version of Minecraft. This means the game will be limited to local multiplayer on the portable console, but it's pretty awesome seeing it on 3DS at all.

The launch of Minecraft Marketplace in June has been a more than $1 million boon for creators.
Microsoft officially launched the Minecraft Marketplace as a storefront for partners to sell their creations in June. Since then, Microsoft says, Minecraft creators have collectively earned more than $1 million for their creations.
To recap, Minecraft Marketplace serves as a way for creators to make some money for their work, but it gives users a safe place to acquire new content as well. Partners are already selling adventures, worlds, texture packs, and more on the Marketplace, and several new bits of content have been added in the months since launch.
One million dollars an impressive number, to be sure, but the program is still young and fairly limited. Marketplace launched with an initial roster of nine partners, and that has since expanded to 12. Microsoft says there are plans to add even more partners over time, which will likely mean we'll see even greater milestones hit more quickly in the coming months.

The Minecraft Marketplace has been operating for a few months now, and Microsoft today happily announced that the community has earned over $1 million through content for the popular block-building title.
“Minecraft has some ~amazing~ Marketplace partners, and we're continually bringing new folks onboard,” Microsoft said in a statement. “We started the program with nine folks back in June, and since then have expanded our partner roster to 12, with plans to keep adding more partners. The program offers our players a wide variety of community-created content that they can safely and easily access, while also allowing the community to support one another's work and allow creators the chance to turn their creativity into a way to make a living!”
The Minecraft Marketplace is fueled by Minecraft Coins, which are used to buy in-app content. Creators set flexible prices and after a 30% cut is taken by a platform's app store, the content creators get a “majority” of the remaining sale.
There are well over 26 million Minecraft players on the PC alone. About 121 million copies have been sold across all platforms. Microsoft purchased both developer Mojang and the Minecraft IP back in 2014 for $2.5 billion.

Minecraft Marketplace creators have raked in over $1 million collectively by designing and selling (among other things) their own custom adventures, texture packs, and character skins.
It shows there's a real appetite for user-made content within the community, and suggests Mojang and Microsoft weren't too wide of the mark when they claimed creators would be able to earn a living from the game.
It's worth remembering the marketplace only launched in Spring, at which point only nine creators had been approved to sell their wares. Mojang has since added another three to its partner roster.
Those given the go ahead can then set flexible prices, with players making purchases using Minecraft Coins — a new virtual currency. Store platforms wll then take a 30 percent cut from each purchase, but creators apparently see the “majority” after that.
Anyone registered as a business can apply to become a creator through the Minecraft Partner Program, but only those with proven experience and a high-quality portfolio will be accepted.
