Minecraft was released digitally for New Nintendo 3DS as a surprise announcement during last month's Nintendo Direct. The New 3DS version of Mojang's popular sandbox game features the Survival and Creative modes, as well as five skin packs, two new texture packs, and more.

Players can use the touch screen to view the map, access their inventory, and craft various items. Additionally, the New 3DS version gives players the option of controlling the game with either touch or traditional button controls.
