@@incandescence5547 bro.. i feel horrible, i used to be in your position. my pc couldn’t run normal minecraft modded at 1 chunk. i then saved up and boom me have pc which has 64 chunk power 👍👍👍
@@euphrateslewis9093 Yeah. I remember when 10-15 fps was my average framerate, and 20 looked so smooth. I once said that I couldn't see the difference between 20 and 60 fps lol. Now I am like "ew 40 ms of input lag! this is unplayable!" Edit: good ol' days
@@I_want_White_Cheddar_Popcorn uh, sir, he said "if they updated the specs and controlls it would be amazing". stop saying things like you have no dream. just imagine the gameplay with updated hardware and full updates.
@@amanosatoshitranslates uh sir. Give me your credit card number. I am buying white cheddar popcorn due to the emotional damage caused to me by your comment. Please sign here to sign over your identity as well and join the children in my basement
I used to play this version for hours when I was about 12 and everyone around me had fancy laptops to play the real Minecraft on. I felt left out big time lol
@@Pao-vo8mf yeah, especially if they have no other way to play minecraft. Most kids would prefer this over nothing. Hell, i remember a bunch of my friends loved the DS call of duty games when they came out, especially since they didn't have a console and weren't allowed to play M rated games
It was my first version of mc, and damn I enjoyed it for hours. I used to spend hours and hours playing and playing, building up worlds, and restarting whenever I died once. It was so much fun back then.
Something similar happened to me. I remember saying to a friend that i would like a new Smash game and would be great to have a portable version (with the 3ds in mind). Then, like 1 or 2 days after, they dropped a trailer announcing the game. That was such a beautiful thing.
Similar thing happened to me with mario maker. I had a dream where I played the game in my 2ds, and then a few months later it was announced for the 3ds family.
@@badgirldidntdonothin Not necessarily. The Vita ran practically Minecraft ps3/xbox360 edition. This version of minecraft, now known as Legacy Console Edition was the console edition of Minecraft before bedrock came to replace it; This version I would say is much more advanced than Minecraft on the 3ds. The 3ds uses a heavily modified version of one of the Minecraft pocket edition builds if I remember correctly. Simply put: The vita runs a 1:1 port of the ps3 console edition Minecraft, whilst 3ds just runs its own thing.
I played this a bit when it was new. Clouds would often have a randomly colored face. Sometimes a few random block types wouldn't be possible to hold anymore. Redstone was very inconsistent. But it was fascinating to me how Minecraft could run on a 3DS of all things.
I remember Pokemon OR/AS, one day there was 3D, later it would lag the fuck out of the system and then they turned it off completely. I was on a New 3DS too.
it's also ridiculous that people say "it's good they didn't include 3d because it reduces framerate" like... buy a 2ds if you want to make 3d impossible to turn on. why did everyone think nobody should be allowed to turn 3d on because they personally didn't like it?
Fun story: I once saw a Reddit post where a guy set off a 16x16x16 block of TNT in Minecraft 3DS and his screen glitched out with random colors. I attempted to replicate it, and after a lot of placing TNT, I set it off and the screen glitched out as well! Moral of the story: Don't set off a 16x16x16 cube of TNT in Minecraft 3DS.
I got my 3DS the year the Switch came out. I asked my grandpa for the Switch, and I received the 3DS, along with Minecraft, Mario Bros., and a few more. Though I was disappointed, I played those games forever. I still remember the days of laggy old Minecraft, the endless hours of playing Pokémon Ultra Sun, the dumb Miis my friend and I would make. This music, the lifeless console sitting on my desk, it all brings back unspoken joy that I don't think I'll ever get back. Thanks dude.
I always hate it when shorts channels try to say some pointless shit in the end to try to match it up with whatever they're saying in the beginning of the short. Either you make a good loop like with this short or you don't even bother.
ik, I made some cool builds on this in the car ride when on trips, or at the doctors, or wherever I am. I also like that it's better than the mobile port, and nobody can change my mind of that.
@@macshouman5075 the old mobile version (when it was called pocket edition) is an entirely different version from any other and was essentially Minecraft “lite”. It was missing ALOT of features.
@@BulborbStan what? this is run on an entirely different language to java. completely different on how to make this work on the 3ds. sure they could have done a better job but my God Minecraft back then was basic as all could be.
I got this game back in 2018 and played it on my 3DS all the time it was so cool having a portable version of Minecraft since I didn’t have a switch back then so many memories 🥰🥰🥰🥰
i love this version, its was fun to have (when it came out) when you dont feel like loading up a console or like on a phone (if you even had access). I played it for hours before my New 2DS broke. Absolutely amazing.
I have sunk hours into the 3DS Minecraft, and I can say, the render distance is the worst part. Another thing is the lack of 1.14 Villagers. I've gotten so used to using those folks for mending, but grinding with a fishing rod was what I got sent back to. It is still extremely impressive to play Minecraft on an 800Mhz CPU, 256MB of ram with 64MB purely dedicated to the OS, and only 10MB of VRam. Truly nuts that they even got the game to run.
This (suprisingly) is my first version of Minecraft. I wanted a Nintendo Switch the year it came out but my parents got me a 3DS. It ran Minecraft, and I wanted a go at it. It gave so much memories, and even if it was bad, This version mill always remain in my heart. Thanks for reviewing it.
Works well in Ironfall Invasion, Federation Force (the controls are good regardless of the reputation and multiplayer nature of the game) and Fire Emblem Warriors.
I played this knock off called Cube Creator and I don't really remember it too well but I do remember that in survival there were these bears and they were super realistic. So 8 year old me and my neighbor would spend hours just running away from bears. Looking back, it was pretty fun
For me I've played Battle-Miner before. It's basically Minecraft with gun's and giant mutant ant's but unlike Cube Creator; Battle-Miner has an infinite world size.
@@pg13snipez nah it's more like: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-daPbYtRuaUw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iTsn5WU6Pws.html
I work at Other Ocean (Developer who worked on the port), I didn't work on it full hand, I'm more QA, but I remember seeing the DS Dev Kits for the first time and asked what they were working on, IIRC, it was originally intended to be out for the Standard 3DS, but man, our devs can really work some sort of magic some times, but the hardware limitations are still hardware limitations :P
I had this! The worst thing about it imo was that it was a 50/50 chance of getting elytra since only one end city spawned. It was serviceable though, I enjoyed it when I played it.
I remember playing it on the bus on the way to school back in middle school, I had a giant open mine and it was good enough to have fun. I wish there was a way to export worlds…
I played “cube world” or something like that on my 3DS which was kinda like Minecraft. It was only a demo so I could only play it 30 times. Haven’t played it in 5+ years and it’s very nostalgic
I worked at Other Ocean Interactive in Charlottetown, PEI in Canada a bit after the game was released. Getting this game out was a real technical challenge. My former boss still teaches at my university as well. Really cool trickery and hacks were used for this version!
@@GenerationZ313 They used the new3ds because of it's higher clock speed. As for why they did it, I have no clue, but I believe at one point it was kind of a dare and they proposed it to Nintendo and since Nintendo had done projects with them before, they went along with it and was like "yep, lets do it". I worked for the summer after development finished and it was the patch cycle.
The cursed nature and general scuffedness of this version reminds me of playing on ps3. Those were the good days. I miss old console edition, bedrock just doesn't hit the same, or at all imo. I remember playing for hours with no end back when there were only four wood types. Truly magical times.
Fun fact- that was actually the first version of Minecraft I ever played. Back when I got it, I didn’t have a phone or tablet I could get it on, but I had a 3DS that I played and carried around like it was a phone, so I just decided to get it. I remember being sad that the wither wasn’t in the game, and I just remember hoping for a new update everyday- good to know they still haven’t added it LOL
Don't give up hope! I lost my New 3DS XL back in 2018, and back in May while prepping a vacation to Florida, I found it inside the front pocket of a suitcase from a vacation years ago! Turns out one of my siblings brought it with them, forgot it in the front pocket and when we put the suitcases away, it just got forgotten in there. You never know where or when it'll turn up!
I actually have some fond memories playing Minecraft on the 3DS. It was never meant to be a massive version of the game, and I had a lovely small survival world
They should have really made this a thing back in the day bc me and my cousin always played Minecraft demo on the tablets when when we had our 3ds we literally looked up how to get it on the 3ds 😭
I actually bought this when I was 6 and I would stay up all night every night playing it. It brought me much joy and so many good memories and I was 7, so I didn’t give a crap about what the settings were and how bad the resolution was. Matter of fact, I have my 3ds in a drawer next to me with Minecraft still on it! I break it out once in a while and play it for nostalgia :)
I have this! its actually not that hard to get used to using the c stick and I had a pretty good survival world. I never had any frame problems strangly and it always was smooth very fun experience
i think that has to do with the sd card read write speed and if your 3ds won the processor lotery (some can be better than others like with computers with the same processor som will just run better because yes)
@@animeloveer97 Yeah no. The silicon lottery didn't matter with the 3ds. The New 3DS model was always clocked at a locked 840MHz or 268MHz depending on the game. Know with a hacked one, you can force it to run at 840MHz for every game, which fixes performance issues in a decent amount of them.
3DS enthusiast here, it's actually kinda fun to fuck around with. I bought a physical copy back when I first got my 3DS (2016 I think), but I've since sold it off since I own purely digital games now. I would recommend getting it just for the hell of it tbh.
I played so much on this version of minecraft both at home and on the go, it's actually really fun and there's something about the limitation of the console that gives this gameplay just so much charm and fuzziness. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but I don't think it's bad at all. Only reason I stopped playing is because the little C stick that lets you look around actually broke :(
As a youngin I didn’t find the 3DS version to be that bad. I had played better versions when I first got it but I didn’t mind it and actually played quite a lot
The wither IS in 3DS edition. It wasn’t in the first version since they ported from an older version of Bedrock which didn’t have the wither but it got added in a later release
I bought this game when it first released, I still have it, and had a world where I got an insane and tiny survival island seed, it, was atleast 400 blocks from any land, and I even managed to get an enchanted table setup and more tham 6 villagers for trading, keep in mind this was when the version of minecraft was like the 1.4 or possibly even lower equivalent in java
This game was my childhood. I remember logging into my special worlds and trying to build huge houses but just out of cobblestone. Still got both the 3ds XL and minecraft. OG for me.
@@linklink3069 A few months ago I found a New 2DS XL (looked new, only had some microscopic marks on the bottom screen) on eBay for € 160, best purchase I've ever made XD I have modded it and am playing a lot of games, currently Pokemon X.
This was my first edition of Minecraft I ever owned, and I lost the cartridge. When I found it again a few years later, nostalgia flooded all over me. I never thought it was a "bad" version, in fact, it gets the job done quite well as a Minecraft port for the 3DS! But frankly, this released in 2017, who would be playing that when you could play it on Switch, even back then? (I know I did)
