Microsoft unearths a Windows Phone version of Minecraft
Like other versions of Minecraft: Pocket Edition, the game is abridged in comparison to its PC and console predecessors, but does include both Survival and freeform Creative modes as well as multiplayer support via local wifi. Microsoft (which recently acquired Minecraft developer Mojang) also claims that this version of Minecraft: Pocket Edition includes a number of items recently added to Minecraft's PC incarnation including new biomes, creatures and "infinite worlds" for players to explore. As with all versions of Minecraft, that "infinite" claim is only as strong as the technical capabilities of your device, so you shouldn't expect expansive realms to rival the PC game on your Windows Phone.
Prospective virtual miners will find Minecraft: Pocket Edition on the Windows Phone store at a price of $7.

I honestly don't like the Phone versions. I rather stick to the Xbox and pc version.

This was inevitable, since Microsoft bought Mojang, they're obviously going to want to have their game on their phones.

The pocket versions are never as fun but at least people with a windows phone will be able to play it.

I paid for pocket version for my iphone and it was a waste. Not that fun when on a tablet/phone imo. I'll stick to PC and xbox.

About time, no one really pays any attention to the Windows Phone App Store. Still not a fan of Pocket Edition though.
