Bought three LOL - This is our third copy of the game— Our three older kids are 8, 6, and 5 and they each have a 3DS. My oldest got one first, then the other older two got one to share. Eventually all three wanted to play Minecraft at the same time and together— awesome feature being able to play together on different handheld systems, so we bought a third one. It sucks this can’t be played on the older 3DS because a kid I babysit has an older one but has the game that he can’t play :( But other than that... we dig this game! My kids are little gamers :) Review: Fun - I’m sure this is great and all but it doesn’t work for certain DS so make sure you check before you buy ## Features - Minecraft is a game about placing blocks and going on adventures.

Systems that will not work are the 3ds, 3ds xl,2ds and any ds or dsi system. This game is part of Nintendo's new 3ds systems series of games that only work with new 3ds systems. So if the name of your 3ds (or 2ds) system begins with new, this game will work. If it doesn't, it won't. So, to answer your question, yes, it will work on the New 2ds xl, but not the regular 2ds. Hope this helps☺ **Q: Does it can be playable on an 3ds xl original? Or it is only for the new 3ds xl?** A: This game can only be played on the "New" 3ds, "New" 3ds xl, & "New" 2ds xl. The "New" is the new tech in the newest version of the 3ds. Older models cannot play this game. The older models are not designed to play any game marked "New." **Q: Is this a digital code or a physical copy?** A: Physical copy **Q: What does this mean by only playavle on a new 3ds? My son has a 3ds, but it is a couple years old. So, will this not work then?** A: The "New 3DS" is basically the 3DS version 2. All of the New 3DS version have a second joystick on the right side. It's a little grey nub that is up from the Y button. If you don't have that second little joystick nub, then you don't have the "New 3DS" This game is one of the very few that only work on the New 3DS, the New 3DS XL, or the New 2DS XL. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun game! Bought three LOL *by H***N on September 15, 2019* This is our third copy of the game— Our three older kids are 8, 6, and 5 and they each have a 3DS. My oldest got one first, then the other older two got one to share.

My kids are little gamers :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun *by E***. on July 4, 2020* I’m sure this is great and all but it doesn’t work for certain DS so make sure you check before you buy ### ⭐ Sneaky bad mislabeling. *by S***L on May 15, 2023* Grandpa wanted to buy his Grandson a nice gift for his 9th birthday. I didn't want to skimp so I bought him the new "Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition - Nintendo 3DS" for $53 rather than the "Renewed" or refurbished version at $43. We had a big 9th birthday party and I gave him the Minecraft 3DS game I purchased through Amazon for his Nintendo 3DS gaming device. What a disappointment when this game wouldn't work in his older 3DS gaming device! Then I saw on the packaging where there was a red arrow with "Only For" pointed at "New" on the packaging of the game title. This is very misleading and I thought I was just buying a "New" game rather than a "Renewed" one. Instead this game is only for a "New" Nintendo 3DS gaming device and not one which is a little older. Too bad this ruined my birthday present to my grandson and buyers beware! To add insult to injury Amazon charged me $1.00 to return this item when I was the one who had to drive it to the UPS store to return. A very disappointing customer experience. ## Frequently Bought Together - Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition - Nintendo 3DS - Animal Crossing New Leaf -Nintendo 3DS (World Edition) - Mario Kart 7 - Nintendo 3DS --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49410500-minecraft-new-nintendo-3ds-edition-nintendo-3ds](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49410500-minecraft-new-nintendo-3ds-edition-nintendo-3ds) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
