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"?

Aw heck, let's just put the game on ALL TEH HANDHELDS!
Okay, no. But 3DS isn't too bad of an idea.

Posted Feb 22, 2012He wasn't asking for anyone else's opinion, he was just answering the person asking your question. Everyone has their own reason as to why they are or are not getting it on a console. I'll be getting it because it'll be infinitely easier to play with my friends and i wont have to rely on someone else's server and i wont have to go through the port forwarding crap. Also, a lot of people actually DO enjoy the game vanilla and dont need mods to change anything just to make it fun, which is a point almost all you diehard PC gamers seem to miss.

Posted Feb 22, 2012yeah i hear it is cool i don't have one though, the 3d effect hurts to look at even at a glance, i turn off the 3d effects in any store model i come across. i would get one for the starfox remake if nothing else, i love starfox and would kill to have it again [sold my n64 and starfox like an idiot] but i have a freaking ton of consoles as is it's getting hard to keep track of them all.
but with the touch screen crafting would be easy, and it as buttons so it's like having the keyboard and mouse in a small package.
