In one of those 'sure, why not' announcements, Nintendo of America has confirmed that the physical retail edition of Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition will arrive on 10th November.
Interestingly, the box art also has an amiibo logo, which suggests the range will be supported in the game via an update - or it's a design error, we'll find out soon enough.

As you may recall this was a surprise release following the September Nintendo Direct, though we feel the compromises to get it onto the New 3DS hardware somewhat hinder the experience. Some will also wonder, of course, when we can expect to see the retail release of the rather impressive Switch edition.
Are any of you tempted to pick this up?

Nice update, if there's still any interest in the 3DS for me next year. I may pick it up.
And yet still no Switch physical?
A bit annoying they announce the release date for this and not switch's edition
Never played Minecraft and I would be interested in a Switch physical copy.
Still waiting for the eShop version in Europe...
@Rafke That makes a lot of sense. Still a mention or something would be nice but guess that would sully any potential download sales.
Don't know if I should buy this or not...
Would rather have a Switch physical release, thank you.
Oh nice. It was about time this got an update, hopefully the addition of amiibo will come with some bug fixes and features.
I could see the amibo support being tied to the super Mario pack maybe.
@ThomasBW84 Uh! I think Nintendo of America has deleted the tweet now for some reason.
£5 and I'll bite.
