I don't think that this is possible. For starters, the New 3DS XL(Nintendo's most powerful 3DS console) only contains 256MB of RAM, 64MB dedicated to the OS and inaccessible to games. It also has 10MB of VRAM. The processor of the New 3DS XL is a 268 MHz ARM11 MPCore quad-core, with one core reserved for the OS. The graphics card it contains is a 266 MHz DMP PICA200.
They would have to do LOTS of optimization to the game just to get it to run properly on the New 3DS XL. Heck, getting it to work on all of the 3DS systems will be even harder because they all contain different specifications. Also, the New 3DS XL is the most powerful 3DS console currently on the market.
see I mean there,s cube creator and heck it has all the controls you would need to play minecraft on 3ds its just some cheap nock off of minecraft itself so yes minecraft 3ds is possible on one nintendoe console why not make it handheld
this is what it would look like come guys just believe some day
I know it's possible although it would have to use low resolution textures and limited world space. Just saying that it the controls does not change the fact that the specifications would limit the game very much. Cube Creator 3D is very limited if you have played it.
That's if you're comparing it to the Java version. Porting it over wouldn't work, so there's no need to compare it.
Since the 3DS uses C/C++, as does the pi edition of Minecraft, let's compare it to the pi. The pi has a 700MHz, single core CPU. The 3DS has a quad-core 268MHz CPU. If they were to properly use all cores, then it should be playable. The pi has 256 MB (smaller model), whereas the 3DS has 256MB, but you didn't provide a good number to work with with how much RAM the 3DS can use, so let's assume that with better optimisation than the pi edition, it's possible (also cut back a few features). GPU doesn't matter if they use CPU rendering, which the Java version does. I don't know about the PI version though. If it does however, the pi GPU runs at 250MHz, and unknown VRAM, whereas the 3DS runs at 266MHz, with 10MB VRAM.
TL;DR
I personally think that it's possible, but there'd have to be a few extra optimisations, as well as few features cut back, but it'd still be possible.
Except that they CANT use all of the cores no matter what. Nintendo hard-coded the New 3DS XL to reserve one core for the OS, and 64MB of RAM to the OS. EVERY 3DS is hard-coded to reserve some memory and CPU to the OS, leaving the game with less resources to work with.

"Just believe" doesn't address the technical limitations inherent in the idea. The GUI you have there looks interesting, but that doesn't really say anything about the possibility of the idea.
Look, there needs to be a new generation for portable nintendo consoles because the current one wont cut it (needs a little bit of more power, its not too far away from the riquirement), period.
you have all the controlls you need and i know more people with a 3ds than a wii u
It really IS perfect for that, it even has 3D built in, but the major downside is that the 3DS is not that powerful. But ive played MC on a 128 MB comp... so it shouldn't be too bad for playing it optimised for the console
yah it is a little slow but it proppaly could happen i meen theres pocket edition but there could be a 3ds edition i meen dont they want alot of money cause id buy it
Your arguments thus far have all been maybe's and could be's, and how cool it could be, but nothing actually addressing the issue of feasibility. Sure, it could be cool. It would also be cool to be a shapeshifter; that doesn't mean it's possible.
well they technically all ready have it for 3ds but to get it theres a game cauld cubic ninja and their is a mod type of thing where you can download a bunch of games that they dont have for 3ds so that is how you get minecraft 3ds but alot of people cant get it like me and tons more

Check out my website Here!Website is down until further notice.Check out Cube Creator 3D in the Nintendo E-Shop. It's certainly not minecraft but it's the closest thing we are going to get at least for now.

There is a homebrew for Minecraft, but it is incredibly limited and has very slow generation.
The only reason why minecraft is better than cube creator is that it will have updates

No. How exactly do you know it will happen? Just saying so doesn't make it true.

That still isn't "proof". That's conjecture. It's off-sides rhetoric that serves no purpose in this discussion.
