Customers commend Minecraft for its engaging gameplay, ease of use, and reasonable price, finding it particularly enjoyable for children and offering hours of entertainment. However, some users experienced challenges with compatibility issues on certain devices and found the controls to be less intuitive than in other versions. The game's creative building aspects were also praised, although some features found in other versions were noted as missing.

    Only word with Nintendo Switch OR 3DS XL, will not work with standard DS. This is the “pocket edition”. Do not expect the same gameplay as the computer version. My 7 year old and 4 year old both use it, and they love it! They can’t put it down. The downside is that it is lacking any available updates, the controls are very different, and it’s missing certain features. But it is perfect for the non-picky gamer-on-the-go.

    My son was so excited about this game but it's only compatible with the "NEW" 3DS. My fault I didn't look closer at the package, but still a total waste of money. Now the best I can hope for is trade in value on a new used game.

    Bought as a gift for my son. **Note: You need either the New Nintendo 3DS XL or New Nintendo 2DS XL for this game to work. Will not work on any other DS system. My son loves Minecraft and likes that he can now play it on his New 2DS system, rather than is outdated Ipad pocket edition that keeps crashing.

    This game is only for the New Nintendo 3DS, as it requires the c stick to look around and navigate. Overall it's a great game for any Minecraft fan. It is not as complete as say, the PC version but it is still worth the price to be able to mine on the go.

    This 3Ds edition of Minecraft is a great edition to my Nephew's Minecraft World. He loves everything Minecraft. It will entertain him for hours, until the next Minecraft product comes along.

    My 7 year old son has been into Minecraft for quite some time and I wasn't sure how he'd react to the 3ds version since I assumed it was missing some features from the PC version. Thankfully it wasn't and after a few startup hurdles (He wasn't used to starting from scratch and the control scheme) he's loved it.
