One of the stories out of Microsoft's E3 press conference was that the cult hit was coming to the system with Kinect controls. Now original Minecraft developer Markus "Notch" Persson has revealed the developer, and possibly that the title is coming to XBLA.
Scotland's 4J Studios (PS3 version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) will be handling the conversion of the game, which comes out before the end of this year.
Said Notch on Twitter, "Oh neat, I can announce the team implementing Minecraft for Xbox360! Part of their team made State of Emergency!" He followed that up with, "They ported Oblivion to PS3 and Perfect Dark to Xbox360! It's 4J Studios." He also included a link to 4J's Wikipedia page, which lists the game for XBLA.
4J has also worked on the Banjo-Kazooie XBLA ports, so this could indicate the Wiki entry is true. Also, the studio's familiarity with the platform will no doubt help their cause.
