Not surprising, but disappointing

In case you hadn’t already heard, Minecraft is out on the Nintendo 3DS. While having Minecraft on 3DS is pretty awesome it will unfortunately not be getting the Better Together update.

For those unfamiliar, the aforementioned update will be unifying Minecraft across consoles, Windows 10, and mobile devices.

It seems, however, the 3DS version of the game will be using its own custom version of Minecraft. This means the game will be limited to local multiplayer on the portable console, but it’s pretty awesome seeing it on 3DS at all.

Minecraft’s Better Together update will NOT be coming to 3DS

The launch of Minecraft Marketplace in June has been a more than $1 million boon for creators.

Microsoft officially launched the Minecraft Marketplace as a storefront for partners to sell their creations in June. Since then, Microsoft says, Minecraft creators have collectively earned more than $1 million for their creations.

To recap, Minecraft Marketplace serves as a way for creators to make some money for their work, but it gives users a safe place to acquire new content as well. Partners are already selling adventures, worlds, texture packs, and more on the Marketplace, and several new bits of content have been added in the months since launch.

One million dollars an impressive number, to be sure, but the program is still young and fairly limited. Marketplace launched with an initial roster of nine partners, and that has since expanded to 12. Microsoft says there are plans to add even more partners over time, which will likely mean we’ll see even greater milestones hit more quickly in the coming months.

More and more Windows users are now playing Minecraft on their computers. Even if the game is 6 years old, it seems that the players always find something to do in this game.

Today we will not talk about how awesome a game like Minecraft is, but instead we will talk about an issue that many PC gamers are facing while playing this game. According to reports, there are players who can’t chat with others in Minecraft. Well, today we will tell you how you can fix this issue so that you can chat with your friends from this popular game.

Can’t Chat In Minecraft Issue: What’s Causing It?

The “Can’t Chat in Minecraft” issue is actually caused by the default settings that the game comes with. In other words, the default settings from the “Minecraft” multiplayer section are not allowing you to chat in this game. That being said, you are able to write commands, but you are not able to interact with other players through text chat.

Can’t Chat In Minecraft Issue: How To Fix

In order to fix the “Can’t chat in Minecraft” issue you will just need to head to the game’s Options->Chat Settings and change the settings from “Command Only” to “Shown.” After completing this simple task, you will be able to start chatting with others players from Minecraft.

However, in case the chat doesn’t function after completing the mentioned task, you will just need to restart the game. After restarting the game, we can guarantee you that the chat feature will work without any problems.

Minecraft: How To Fix The Chat Issue

The Minecraft Marketplace has been operating for a few months now, and Microsoft today happily announced that the community has earned over $1 million through content for the popular block-building title.

“Minecraft has some ~amazing~ Marketplace partners, and we’re continually bringing new folks onboard,” Microsoft said in a statement. “We started the program with nine folks back in June, and since then have expanded our partner roster to 12, with plans to keep adding more partners. The program offers our players a wide variety of community-created content that they can safely and easily access, while also allowing the community to support one another’s work and allow creators the chance to turn their creativity into a way to make a living!”

The Minecraft Marketplace is fueled by Minecraft Coins, which are used to buy in-app content. Creators set flexible prices and after a 30% cut is taken by a platform’s app store, the content creators get a “majority” of the remaining sale.

There are well over 26 million Minecraft players on the PC alone. About 121 million copies have been sold across all platforms. Microsoft purchased both developer Mojang and the Minecraft IP back in 2014 for $2.5 billion.

People are playing Minecraft to make money, not just to create blocky looking buildings in a fantasy world.

Mojang, the developer behind the popular game, said Tuesday that Minecraft creators have earned over $1 million selling custom character designs, maps, interactive stories, and other accessories in the game’s online marketplace.

The fact that Minecraft Marketplace was only launched in June after being announced in April underscores the game’s popularity and potential as a business to third parties. Creators who post items for sale in the game’s marketplace earn a cut on all sales.

Microsoft (msft, -0.47%), which bought Mojang in 2014 for $2.5 billion, pitches the marketplace as a safer way to buy and download third-party add-ons to the core Minecraft game as opposed to buying them from other websites. In order to sell goods through the game, users must first apply online and be approved.

Minecraft Marketplace is available through Apple (aapl, -1.59%) and Android-based mobile devices, Windows 10- powered personal computers and phones, Amazon (amzn, -1.37%) Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire TV, and the Samsung Gear VR headset, according to a Microsoft support page. It is not compatible with Microsoft’s Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, but a spokesperson told Fortune in an email that the marketplace “will be available in Minecraft on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch with the launch of the Better Together Update later this year.”

Correction: Minecraft Marketplace debuted in June after being announced in April.

How Gamers Made Over $1 Million on Minecraft

Nintendo Switch games update a big boost for Wii U owners following Legend of Zelda news

Pokémon fans, it’s time to celebrate: A real, true, “core”Pokémon game is coming to the Nintendo Switch, fulfilling the hopes and dreams of Poké-maniacs everywhere.

The announcement was made by Nintendo in a YouTube broadcast ahead of the E3 conference. The game won’t be ready for a “year or more,” says the company.

Earlier in June, Nintendo announced “Pokkén Tournament DX,” a fighting game in the style of “Mortal Kombat,” would be coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year. This announcement was a letdown for lots of Nintendo fans, who were hoping for a more traditional Pokémon game to come to the hybrid console.

Also of note is that this Pokémon game would also be the first in the main series for a Nintendo home console — previous mainline Pokémon games have only appeared on Nintendo’s portable systems. Home consoles like the Nintendo Wii U have previously only recieved spinoffs, like the “Pokémon Rumble” series. This new one is confirmed to be a role-playing game, in line with the classic Pokémon titles.

While the Nintendo Switch can be detached to play away from a TV, Nintendo considers it a TV console first and foremost.

So while the wait for this new Pokémon will be painful, it’s going to get a lot of Nintendo Switch owners very hyped. And it’s sure to give a lot of folks a reason to buy a Switch.

A real Pokémon game is coming to the Nintendo Switch and it’s time to get hyped

At E3 2017, Nintendo released some more footage of the highly anticipated new Mario game for Nintendo Switch, which comes out October 27, 2017. Check out Mario tossing his hat onto a giant t-rex and running around in a very fancy white tuxedo in “Super Mario Odyssey.”

For a launch year, the Switch is getting a mess of fantastic games. Nintendo started with the showstopper in “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” which launched alongside the Switch in March.

“Zelda” was quickly followed by an updated rerelease of “Mario Kart 8” — arguably the best “Mario Kart” game ever made — and an entirely new entry in “Arms.” “Minecraft” launched soon after, and Nintendo even allowed the Switch version of “Minecraft” to play nice with the Xbox One, PC, mobile, and VR versions of the game. If you’re playing the game on one of those platforms, you’re also playing with people on the Switch!

And that’s just through to now (June 2017) — much more is coming in the back half of 2017 and next year.

2018: A “core” Pokémon game, new entries for Kirby and Yoshi, Nintendo’s online service, and a new game in the “Metroid Prime” series.

The Nintendo Switch Online service is scheduled to launch in 2018 at a price of $20 a year. For that price, you’ll get instant access to a classic game library and the ability to play games online.

Nintendo’s new service costs $20 a year (or $4 for a month or $8 for three months) and is scheduled to launch in 2018. When it arrives, it’ll be available only for the Nintendo Switch — Nintendo’s newest game console, which operates as a portable handheld and a home console.

Beyond access to online gaming, which is free for now on the Switch, you’ll also get access to a library of classic games from Nintendo’s history. The first three games Nintendo showed off were “Super Mario Bros. 3,” “Dr. Mario,” and “Balloon Fight,” but more are expected to be announced as we learn more about the service.

Notably, those classic games are all from the NES: Nintendo’s oldest home console. Nintendo has yet to confirm whether games from the SNES, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii, or Wii U will appear on the service (to say nothing of Nintendo’s handheld gaming library). There is no release date for the service outside “2018” thus far.

What’s still missing? “Super Smash Bros.,” “Animal Crossing,” and many more.

There are still plenty of Nintendo franchises that could use a spin on the Switch. The most notable ones are obvious: “Super Smash Bros.,” “Animal Crossing,” and “Star Fox” all come to mind immediately.

Then there’s the more obscure stuff: “WarioWare,” “Punch-Out,” “F-Zero,” Nintendogs,” “Dr. Mario,” and “Brain Training.” And that’s before you start talking about really obscure stuff like “Earthbound.”

All to say one thing: Nintendo still has miles of depths to plumb before it runs out of classic characters and game franchises.

Of note, it looks as if we’ve just seen the beginning of Nintendo’s effort to release updated versions of games that debuted on the Wii U. Nintendo America’s president, Reggie Fils-Aime, told Vice recently: “Given the [very low] install base of Wii U, there was some fantastic content that consumers did not get to play. So that creates certainly a business opportunity.”

Who knows when: Where is Netflix? What about Hulu? YouTube? Amazon?

Netflix

It seems like a given that Nintendo’s Switch console — a system built for use as a handheld and a home console — would get video streaming services like  Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, YouTube, and others. It’s 2017, and there are approximately zero game consoles without these services.

Yet, somehow, Nintendo’s Switch launched without any of these services and continues to exist without them. Though Nintendo’s never put a date on it, the company has repeatedly pointed to those services coming at some point in the future. When those services will arrive is the big question, and it’s one that Nintendo’s not answering (nor are Netflix, Hulu, and other services — we’ve asked).

This stuff isn’t exactly crucial, but it sure doesn’t hurt.

Nintendo’s new console is having an incredible run, and the future looks even brighter
