its not that the pocket app isnt good enough but i think a whole new way to play minecraft would be epic

the main idea: i want minecraft on my 3ds
reasons this woud be nice: 2 screens allow better gameplay (will explane latter), 3D helps aim arrows (the current 3d system isnt so good as it makes things a little blurry), more kids have 3DS than smart phones (theres an equal amount of adults and kids that play but this will open another part of the market bringing you more money), the 3ds has better rendeing software than smartphones and most computers (hey glasses free 3D needs way more power than nornal as it renders 2 diffrent things at once (3 if you count the touch screen) in amazing high definition, plus glasses free 3D shouldent have came out untill 2013 and nintendo got it out in 2011 so there tech team deserves the credit for best rendering system), the 3ds could beabil to play on computer severs (hey if sony did it with the psp and ps3 i bet it wouldent be that hard)



ok now the reason i want this is because i want to play on my sever on the go but the mobil app cant play on computer severs (plus i dont have a smartphone)

so im gonna explane a few things about it

the touch screen would show your inventory all the time (the screen would get darker when you dont move anything down there for more than 10 seconds to prevent screen burn in) and you would also have tabs on the side that let you switch to chat and any nearby unlocked chests (3 block range and you need to see it) (ones that arnt locked on smp severs not to be confused with the little prank you guys pulled)
so you can accsess all your stuff with ease

the top screen would be where all the action would be

now onto controles

default could be like this (in compairisan to the computer minecrafts default settings)
xyba=wasd
joystick=mouse (look around)
L= space
R= left mouse
up arrow= right mouse
left right arrow= choose item in quickbar (like 123456789)
down arrow= quick chat (brings up keyboard to chat)


so any thoughts?
pleas try to stick to positive comments but feel free to ask questions and if you need to say something bad pleas go easy on me im just a kid

Just wouldn't work for a number of reasons.
1. Exclusivity contract with Microsoft. PE doesn't count since it was made before contract, and Raspberry Pi doesn't count as a gaming console.
2. It would fail at connecting to PC servers if that was added, as you asked for in the post, and would lag if it got anything other than the same edition as smartphones, because the 3DS just doesn't have that much raw power! It would crash every 5 minutes!
3. You have horrible grammer and spelling, I could barely read the post. No way you'l get enough supporters to get it added that way even if above 2 reasons didn't exist.
Overall?
NO SUPPORT AT ALL!

That^

my 3ds has more power than my dads computer (however i gave it a few upgrades by increasing its ram and memory with a epic SD card)

the 3ds was made in co-op with Microsoft (i think)

im 13 and dyslexic pleas dont be mean (spellcheck fixes some stuff but not all)

also i said 3ds and not the light as i would see this as something to be downloaded from the Nintendo E shop (the DSI could play it too i guess)

and btw balloons tower defense... my computer lags when playing that on the final lvls but it works just fine on my 3ds meaning it has more raw power than most computers

and i thought i asked you guys to be nice....

I would imagine that there would be some sort of technical limitation. But if this did happen, I would rather it be for all DS consoles, as there is no need for it to be in 3D.
Controls seem abit off. Here is how I would do it:
Arrow Keys: WASD
L and R bumpers: Cycle items on hotbar
Joypad: Mouse
XYBA: Jumping, Sprinting, Left and Right clicks
Touchscreen: Inventory and chat

if thats how you want them thats ok
you can change them around (thats why i said default) i just optomised it for me and my friends style if play

Even if you're right right and Microsoft DID cooperate with Nintendo in making the 3DS (Which is new
to me, if it's true), that doesen't change the fact: We don't need a port of Minecraft on EVERY
FREAKING SYSTEM IN THE WORLD. Seriously. Remember those huge content updates we always
used to get? You know why we don't have many of those any more? Because they used to just have
the PC version, and they focused all of their time and energy on it. Now they have it on Xbox and a
variety of different phones. Now, instead of focusing completely on making PC Minecraft an epic
experience, they have to severely slow down the development because each new port of Minecraft
needs to be coded, textured, and constantly updated (More often than the main version it seems)
despite the fact that pretty much everyone who lives in a 1st world country has a computer capable
of runing a block-based game with 16 bit textures and little to no special effects. And anyone living
in a 3rd world country is probably already living a Minecraft-style life, but with more famine and sickness.

well the reason i want this is even though i have bought my own computer that can play minecraft its just not mobil
i dont have a smartphone so i cant get pocket edition but i would like to play on the go like when im in a long car ride
im asking for this as one of the people who would buy it (a kid that wants to play on the go)
and btw nintendo teaming up with Microsoft is just a hunch as it uses a Microsoft virus scanner for the web browser that can olny be found on there computers (i may be right i may be wrong)

Minecraft for Nintendo 3DS? That's a little too impossible because of Nintendo's high quality software. A Nintendo 3DS has 3D graphics (which you can toggle on and off), but when it gets even a little 3D, Minecraft cannot handle the graphics. It'll just lag. And Minecraft isn't meant to be 3D anyways, they'll always keep with the basic software with a touch of modern. And Minecraft and Nintendo... Just doesn't sound right... No support

Meaning you have a relatively old computer. Bloons TD has very simple graphics and all. Minecraft? Try giving a 3Ds a complicated physics engine, hundreds of entities and all. Besides, Nintendo products currently can only communicate by either friend codes (Doesn't work well with online games) or relatively anonymous usernames. Meaning that unless Nintendo totally changed how the 3DS works for a SINGLE game, not going to happen, this would never work.
