Is Minecraft 3DS Edition Really THAT Bad? 

Here's my opinion: Minecraft for 3ds is not the worst minecraft version, but the 3ds is the (technically) worst device to run minecraft.

The 3DS version of Terraria is very similar, it is a time capsule based on the mobile version.

I can’t describe how much more convenient this version is for co-op with family when you’re in the same room.

Is it the worst version? Probably, yeah. But it's also really impressive to see Minecraft running on hardware like the 3DS.

5:30 The Pocket Edition version it was based on actually had infinite worlds, I think the world size has to do something with the save data size, I don’t think the save data it’s allowed to be infinite so that’s why there’s a limit

The 3ds modding community is great, recently someone found out how to raise the render distance without affecting performance, there's kinda shaders, texture packs, and someone is working on adding 3d to the game, iirc, it's pretty cool! Just checked, and apparently there was drama with the guy who raised the render distance being an asshole.

My friend's daughter had this for her 3DS and she played it a lot. I remember helping her do some technical things and changing settings. She had 406 hours on it in 2019. She said that she would play it until it got too laggy and would just start again. She did beat the Ender Dragon a few times as well. She probably played it way more as all she had was that, and Pokemon Omega Ruby. I think she had a few other games but nothing that would've kept her as occupied as Minecraft or Pokemon.

Honestly its pretty nuts they even got a fairly recent version of Minecraft running on the 3DS. This and Xenoblade 3D are probably the two most impressive games on the console.

I think you could have gotten legit ender pearls by curing a zombie villager. I don't really remember how villagers work before the V&P update though. I think you would've needed to find one that spawned as a cleric?

This channel is the exact vibe reviewtubers were missing, an awkward confidence that doesnt care what you think

I genuinely did not expect how good this video would be. You put so much effort into the skits and the jokes, definitely subscribing!

This was my first edition of minecraft. I was sooo hyped when it was announced, and to be honest, my nostalgia makes me still love it

The lack of mobs is also most likely due to an old issue in Bedrock Edition/Pocket Edition (That was only recently fixed) that caused mobs to not properly despawn when in water (Or something like that) which caused the mob cap to be stuck, and less mobs to spawn

This channel's going places. What a comfy and informative video!

I really like this vibe from you as a creator, the overall self-aware quirkiness. And there was something about the Captain Toad story and the png at 10:45, and then the Rayman 3 and Luigi's Mansion music that made me hit the subscribe button. I could somehow relate to you in every aspect of the video and I really enjoyed it.

Loved the video! You can really tell how much love and passion you've put into making this. And genuinely worthwhile watching! I can't wait to go check out your other content, and give 3ds Minecraft a shot myself

Since I didn't own my own phone or a Switch for a while this was my main version of Minecraft for like a year or two, I personally loved it (part of that was cause I had a "modded" New Nintendo 2DS which was literally just the C-Stick replaced with a PSP one) Now that I have a Steam Deck that can run Java with mods I obviously don't play it regularly anymore but I still like to go back to it at least a few times a year.

(3:00) A normal joystick as varied speed depending on how far you push the stick. I can only assume you always push the stick the full way. But if you increase the "sensitivity" (the max speed) of the stick, and don't push it fully, you get more use out of it. The further you push it, the faster you can look around.

I really like your editing style & humor. I appreciate the life it brings to your videos. The constant jumps from real life to gameplay, to the little skits in-between, it's just fun- all while still being comprehensive, new sub.

It's always fun to find someone with their own style on youtube! You remind me of how I felt watching Scott the Woz all the way back. I wish you good luck, and don't be afraid to expand your horizons!

It's amazing to hear that old spore creatures music again. It's been so long. One. Of my favorite ds games growing up

In pe, I loved building bases up against the world edge so I could see if it was day or night without needing to peek out and potentially get killed. I didn't know about beds or glass at the time... Also I liked the nether reactor core. And the limited world size means sometimes there's no access to basic things like water.

This editing is amazing! Please keep up the great work!

This video was not only good, but I loved the humor and style of jokes you incorporated into it 😂 Definitely subscribed after and will watch more!

Love the way you format your videos, please do more similar topics! Maybe you could do a compilation of unusual ports such as GTA on the GBC, or half life on the dreamcast

The best compliment I can give is that I clicked on this video in my recommended, and figured probably 100k+ views upon watching. It’s only upon going to like it that I see it has less than a thousand. I don’t suspect that will stay the case for long. Subscribed.

This video was made so well!! Keep up the effort!

Oh my god you used soundtrack from Spore Creatures. You are a real one for doing this, thank you.

Man I've always loved this version of the game! Im glad to see someone cover it and I can't believe that you Haven't gotten more attention with how charming your content is!Keep up the great work!

This is the version I play. Seriously. Years ago I used to pour hours into the OG version on PC, eventually I stopped playing, and then eventually I (for various reasons) ended up with basically no gaming device other than on my 3DS. When the eshop was closing I found myself looking at this port, and the novelty of the control scheme and being able to fully utilise the abilities of the New 3DS’ hardware ended up moving me to actually get it. And you know what? It’s fine. Good, even- the only thing that’s unbearable is trying to play in rain at night (view distance is reduced in the rain. Night makes it harder to see. Rain makes it harder to see. Lag make it all feel even more restricting… *shudder*). My main complaint is that I miss being able to load up mods and select specific versions of Minecraft, but even if I did have a laptop to play the Java version I doubt I’d use it much. These days Minecraft is one of the games I choose when I just want to chill on the settee, I don’t want to sit at a desk playing it…I guess if I ever go back to the Java version it’ll have to be on a steam deck or something. Oh, and the ‘mario worlds’ gimmick sucks. PS Vita got way cooler gimmicks >:o Anyway, great video! Very well put together and explained, and a pretty balanced opinion. The skits were fun, too, I imagine your channel will grow fairly rapidly

thank you for touching on this, I used to have this on my 3ds xl and I didn't remember much about it because I did not have it for that long so again thanks you

Really good video, I enjoy your relaxed tone in voice over it makes for a very pleasant viewing experience

your editing is fucking gold dude Like at the beginning, you could have just closed your eye, for that 3d segment, instead you stuck a card in your glasses and the song makes that part even better, like that takes some time to set up. Those segments add a ton to the video, along with those adorable transition cards. And making captain Toad a reoccuring part of the video is super creative as well. I mean how do you even think of that lol I could never see myself doing something like moving tables for a video, especially not one on such a niche game and this effort really makes for some amazing entertainment. I was only mildly interested in the topic of this video, but the execution made it super worth it to watch!

Your whole world is more than 128MB 1 block = 128KB of data

you have such a charming yet engaging style of editing i love this

This is a really lovely video! You're very funny. Best wishes for your channel in the future!

It was a nice time playing this port. It was nice revisiting older versions on my favourite handheld. The controls were managable for me second 1. Glad I got a New 3ds so i can play this port

I remember being in high school and a kid I know was playing the 3ds minecraft. I was so confused cause I'd never knew that it existed. I didn't know it was so recent in terms of a 3ds game, wow.

Amazing video! The editing and quality is so good.

This video is so good bru when i saw the little pop up to subscribe that said u had 5k views blew my mind. The effort is incredible

i feel the same way about this as i do the 3DS port of terraria, even though as a kid i did have access to a pc that could happily play those games, there was just something exciting about it being on the DS, (and ofc lets not forget multiplayer, local multiplayer on the ds is some of the most fun i've had gaming to this day)

Still can’t describe how much I love this game. The nostalgia is just crazy.

your style takes me back to avgn and you add your own twist to it i love it.

This is quality content. You got yourself a new subscriber

Quality content 💪

surprisingly one of the most stable versions of the game to come from mojang in recent times, cause even the stable console versions were made by 4j

loved your style! made me laugh, and this is a topic right up my alley! excited to see what other videos you have or will make :)

Great video fam! Really enjoyed.

Couldn't you have just cured a zombie villager?

I’ve had worse Minecraft experiences. I say that, because I actually beat this game! I actually legit managed to get enough Ender Pearls for the End portal with some patience (it took me up to 3 days?). But yeah, the final boss was too bothersome, because of the 3DS’s limits. …So I SORT OF cheated - I set the difficulty to peaceful, so the Endermen were gone, but the dragon still remained! I actually had more fun with the fight through this adjustment AND it was still somewhat tricky, but not in a tedious way. I’ll prefer more powerful versions, but 3DS has the honour of being the first version of Minecraft I beat. ❤

Very funny video, the singing was exquisite. I have MC on the 3ds as well, and i too, have searched the lands for countless nights for endermen. Might go back in someday and look for a cleric, theres at least 2 villages that i know exist. Subbed and liked!

Wonderfully made and funny video, was surprised to see your subscriber count! Your channel is sure to grow :D

19:44 can agree

I always had a soft spot for this version. I think my favorite thing about this version is that due to the poor screen resolution, the stars at night twinkle, which I feel looks much nicer than any other version. The only things I dislike about it are that the sides of clouds have buggy textures, the void does not have a flat plane of collision like in any other version, and the fog is a flat wall instead of a sphere so in a way it’s the creepiest version of the game

Great job, I loved the vid!

Your editing is really well done!

i played through the entire game when i was away from home, it certainly was a challenge at some points (especially the ender dragon fight) but i say that it was overall a fun experience, being honest, it probably is one of the worst ways to play minecraft officially but i still got good fun out of it, so i wouldnt say its necessarily bad

Modern Bedrock is worse

Subscribed as soon as you started singing. Bravo, I love this energy.

I love your humor HAHA, simple video, no need for fancy editing and nice explanation of the game. Keep up! Will watch your future videos! Subscribed!

The editing in this video is great, instantly subscribed.

Great video and also Spore Creatures OST banger music choice.

Your channel gives me a very warm and cozy vibe. Im not sure how else to explain it, but i feel welcome here, like im listening to a friend explain something niche or cool he found. Ill subscribe, youre pretty cool!

How have I not found this channel earlier, subbed.

I thought I heard Fantasy Life music and upon going back to check, it was! Awesome to hear that, especially in a 3DS video! That game is so overlooked/underrated and it's my personal favorite

What a neat video! Just found your channel, and I can tell you put a lot of work on it and it shows. Outstanding job! Also, I like your editing style and comedy moments. Might stick around your channel for a bit :)

Nice video man. I had a lot of fun watching it ❤

Excellent editing quality. You deserve more subs.

This was such a good and fun video, definitely subscribing, you deserve many more

I love the video! In case you didn't know, you can reduce the noise on your live segments by getting more light in the room

very well made video, keep it up!

this channel will be well over 100k by the end of the year with content like this!

Great video, I laughed a lot more than I expected!

This video is hilarious, I had to subscribe after that song about the 3D effect

i was expecting you to have way more subs than 6k, this was such a funny and well made video. im gonna sub now...

What a cool video man 💪🏼

great video I really enjoyed watching it. I especially enjoyed the pacing of the video.

Holy crap! Thanks for including my reddit post about my mario tv in minecraft 3ds!! And yes us 3ds minecrafters are holding on two screens strong!

Very interesting, and I just wanted to say this was a very good video. I thought I was watching a video essay from a channel with millions of subscribers, and I was surprised when I realized this only had like 40K views

congrats on getting tons of views, i hope you continue to get success on your channel :)

I did not expect this video to be so good, this guys great

Came for the review, staying for the W content. Keep it up!

Amazing video underatted channel ❤

bro how you not have a million subs! This is top tier content, reminds me alot of early jontron. Keep it up man.

4:35 Knights and Merchants music, nice! :D

Funny video dude! And educational to see what 3DS version is all about! Subbed

4 minutes in and I'm already hooked. Take my sub good sir

How do you not have more subscribers? You put a lot of effort into this and it feels high quality

Daimn you made such a good video, that you managed to get 125 thousend views with only 7000 subs. Great Job. Really enjoyed it, the editing was so good

Yooo I was just watching this video, it's a classic type of video I get in my feed and turns out it's you! Top 10 anime plot twists Very well made video!

Build a platform 120 blocks up in the air with a bed on it. Have water down below to fall into. Look around for endermen. If there are none, dig a pit to fall into and respawn back at the bed. This makes it so all hostile mobs instantly despawn due to being over 120 blocks away, then new mobs spawn when you respawn and fall back down to the surface. Optionally have a two block high roof surrounding your ground level area to prevent endermen from reaching you while you kill them.

Holy shit, this guys really fun, subbed for sure

dude, i loved your channel, wtf. keep the great content

Favo youtuber! Support from Holland 🎉

After a lot of time I managed to get all of the achievements on the 3Ds version, but not without some trouble. For instance, sometimes touching the nether boarder will crash the game, I crashed about 2-3 times because of this glitch, and don’t even get me started on how difficult the end is, the dragon fireballs do so much damage and can cause knock back in one single direction, so there were times were the knock back pushed me into a corner and killed me cause I couldn’t move, the particles from the endermen can cause extreme frame rate lag, I remember getting down to around 5-10 fps in the end occasionally because of this.

There’s a charm about Minecraft and terraria for 3DS. It’s like a nostalgia trip every time I play them, almost like I stepped back into 2015.

I love your editing!

Back when minecraft on the 3ds was still new, I had a friend that owned it on his 3ds, and at the time I didn't have minecraft so I thought that's how it was on pc. I still remember one time when I saw him play minecraft on it, it was in a desert biome and was making a minecart track.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say... The 3ds is a device perfectly capable of running Minecraft superbly. The issue was the lack of development. If say... Minecraft new Nintendo 3DS edition released in early 2016, effectively as a "launch title" exclusive to the New Nintendo 3DS, and had 3-4 years of updates and optimisations, it would not be so looked down upon. The New Nintendo 3DS (and its XL version) both have a Quad Core ARM11 MPCore processor clocked at 805 MHz. That same processor is found in the original Raspberry Pi, The first generation of NVIDIA Tegra Processors, The original Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone 3G (as well as the first iPhone). Sure, for 2015 that sounds ancient but nintendo had to stay with the same architecture as the original 3DS (the main differences being that, that cpu was dual core and at 205MHz) and need I mention that the Wii U has a processor that is by all accounts An overclocked GameCube CPU. Minecraft on the 3DS suffered more from a lack of time to optimise the game than anything else. Period
