Minecraft for PS Vita? Unfortunately...

It seems that Minecraft will not be coming to Playstation after all. In a business meeting including Daniel Kaplan, it was confirmed that there were "no plans" to bring the indie title to PS Vita (Sony's handheld equivalent to the Nintendo DS), despite overwhelming success on the Sony handheld, Xperia.
Minecraft - Pocket Edition launched on Xperia Play last summer and quickly became the Android Market's most worldwide-downloaded app. Approximately 8500 people have played the game on the device since its unveiling. The recent Survival Mode update to the game makes Pocket Edition more of an action-oriented experience, with health bars, weapons and animals included, as well as the addition of more blocks from the PC version of the game.

The XBLA version of the game is still expected to hit consoles in March 2012.

Want to Code "Catacomb Snatch" Yourself?

With Mojam all wrapped up, Mojang's new title "Catacomb Snatch" is, technically, complete! However, Jeb has decided to encourage budding programmers by giving tips on how to use the open-source code of the game. He goes over his own history of getting into game development, as well as offering some helpful instructions to prospective game designers who might decide to take on the task of working on "Catacomb Snatch" further. He also offered sources for the development tools needed to code a Java game (using his examples), as well as positing a number of tasks and challenges for anyone brave enough to take them on. What can you add or improve on "Catacomb Snatch"?

My comment deleted again!!! WTF IS THIS! XBOX360 FOREVER!

8500 is "overwhelming success"? Maybe if you compare that to the total number of people who bought the system, but I would say not really.

Your support of the XBOX console is perfectly fine. I simply ask that you refrain from posting vids in the comments here.

I'm disappointed in Mojang. I thought they were trying to expand on the game, but not bringing it to a platform so big? WTF? I have an XBox 360 so this won't affect me really, but I feel for those with PS3s...

[Chaquator]

Hmmm. Sucks though.
