Hey guys this is my 1st post, but i had a great idea and i wanna know how you guys feel.
Alright, around next xhristmas, the PSP2 (codename NGP NextGen Portable) and you guys should look it up, it has a touchscreen and 2 analohg sticks basically. But i think tht Notch should see if he can make minecraft for the NGP thats coming to America soon. The NGP would DEFINATELY be able to support it and support multiplayer.
1st of all he would most likely mke millions more. and he would become even more popular.
2nd of all i really would like to be able to play minecraft ANYWHERE i go. Please give feedback >.<
Interesting, but with the constant updates and bugs that appear in minecraft this new piece of electronics could create all sorts of bugs on its own. I a hesitant, I prefer playing on a computer, and if you really think you should be able to play minecraft wherever you are, just....pack a laptop?
It has already been announced that Minecraft will be available as an Android port,
"Mojang's popular PC indie game Minecraft is getting iOS- and Android-supporting client releases later this year, according to reports.
Minecraft is an inconceivably popular indie PC game from developer Mojang. “Inconceivably” first and foremost because it is an indie PC release in a market where console games from top publishers are what move in big numbers. Maybe Minecraft‘s million-plus sales doesn’t hold a candle to the likes of Call of Duty or Halo, but the world creation game that looks like it comes from the medium’s NES era has caught on surprisingly quickly nonetheless. Creator Markus Persson talked about the game’s humble beginnings in a recent interview.
To reach the next level however, Minecraft is going to have to broaden its horizons. Persson and his team at Mojang are already thinking in that direction, as Gamasutra has learned. The Minecraft creator revealed that an official iOS version of the game is currently in development under the guidance of new team member Aron Neiminen. The iOS client won’t be a full reproduction of the PC game, but rather a streamlined version which only carries over those features that “make sense” for a touch-screen interface. Look for the release later this year.
In related news, reports also point to an Android version of the Minecraft client being in development as well. Mojang head of business development Daniel Kaplan said that the company decided to “do the iOS/Android version of Minecraft inhouse” in an interview with Kotaku earlier this month. That release is also reported to be due later this year.
What’s so very interesting about all of this news is that Minecraft is technically an unfinished game, as it is still in its beta phase of development. The experience is full-featured enough for Mojang to be selling it — and for consumers to continue buying it — but it is unusual all the same. Multiple unsanctioned Minecraft clients are available for iOS via a jailbreak, but you can expect the official Mojang release to trump them all with its streamlined design and direct-from-the-company product updates. "
Also, Sony has said that Android apps will be available for the NGP, so it would only be reasonable to assume that Minecraft will be available on the PSP2.
Problem with porting minecraft over to a console is:
1) Purchase the API for the console. (This costs lots of money, usually $10,000+)
2) Require a license to publish downloadable content. I know that many licenses are free, but some may have a fee.
3) Require a complete recoding of Minecraft in reference to the API. This includes the time it takes to learn the API.
Otherwise, if the NGP has a JAVA interpreter, it would be a simple retooling.

android can run java.
The NGP can run all android apps.
Minecraft is goingto be released for android. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/21/minec ... hone-ipad/
(it is also going to be released on the iphone and the ipad.)
As much as I would want this to happen it probably won't because the NGP probably will not have Java. Unless Notch has announced a lower level language release I doubt it will make it past a Windows/Linux environment.

There is simply not enough RAM in anything but a PC to run minecraft!
STOP SUGGESTING CONSOLE VARIATIONS!

This. Except you should have said kthxbai, because the 'nks' can be shortened to 'x' for maximum compactibility.
This, yet you could use an 'i' in place of 'ai', since 'a' is silent in this word, for maximum compatibility.
