    Very cool, the Super Mario Mashup is a fun little thing to have on top of your purchase. Also, not $40, only 20! As always, Minecraft is a 9/10. Only because the minigames are gone from the XBOX 360 and PS3 versions!

Concluindo, Minecraft é um bom jogo para se jogar online, mas não consegue ser tão interessante no single player, como um rdr2 ou um gta5!… Expand

    The fact that you can play a portable version of Minecraft with control controls is great on its own, but that's all the game has over other versions.

    Minecraft by itself is a good game, it may be simple but it had enough variables to keep me coming back but I believe the multiplayer function is where minecraft shines, most good memories i have of minecraft involve playing with friends and us playing mini games. Creative is definitely my favourite way to play minecraft as its like lego with a fantasy edge and making maps is addicting.

    Minecraft is a very good game. On Nintendo Switch, it can have some lag and sometimes doesn't load in the chunks but still. The amount of things you can do is almost infinite. If you have a little bit of creativity, you can make a lot of cool things. The amount of what you can do with thinking out side the box is also amazing. For example using an item frame for a plate.

There are also a lot of glitches/"gameplay feautures how Mojang calls them" which can sometimes also help you.
    But if you have a ps or xbox, buy it for that and if you have a pc, buy it for that, since the lag and rendering is a lot better on that. But still on switch, very good game.    … Expand

    This is the best port for me. Play everywhere you want. It is better than on smart phone.

    Wow such a great port. More games need to emulate the crafting system, it works better than any other survival system on console!

    Fun and endless entertainment if you’re creative enough. If not the online play can keep you entertained for awhile

    This game is really good, I enjoyed it a lot. Just 1 step down from a nine because after 2 years it gets a little boring. Just a little.

    It's Minecraft, but the controls aren't so good in this version. And you have to flipping pay to play online. stupid. it's free on all the other versions.

    als je deze game niet kent voor het lezen van deze review dan ben je aan het liegen

    de switch versie is zoals de rest met als bonus een Mario skin pack en een Mario themed wereld

    je weet maar al te goed dat deze game iets voor jou heeft

    What do you want me to say? It's Minecraft. On Switch. (And the map are no where near as small as the god forsaken Wii U version of the game)

    This game on the Switch will suck you in for hours, with online play, local multiplayer, and solo play all being tons of fun, and having it on the Switch just means more places to play! However, the game can occasionally struggle with performance.

    Minecraft is an amazing game. On the Switch, I do find it a little bit laggy even when playing singleplayer. However, it is still the same old Minecraft.

    Pues es Minecraft, no tiene falla, me agrada que se actualice manteniendo la vida útil del juego por más tiempo, aunque algunos Mobs no son muy frecuentes y otros aparecen muy seguido quitándole algo de interés, pero en general es un muy buen juego

    A great port of an already amazing game (personally my favorite game of all time).

    The Minecraft store barely works a quarter of the time, and the game takes for frigging ever to sign you in to Microsoft and load your character skins. Step it up.

    Amazing how this game is still standing up to time - no one has taken it's model and done better. A true original that uses what's in our genetics in regards to wanting to create and build.

    The game has a universal appeal, and its status as a modern classic is uncontested. This is just another block in its pedestal. [Issue#189, p.80]

    It's still Minecraft, and after all these years it's held up, especially when you can pop your Switch out of the dock and bring it wherever you want. [Issue #28 – July/August 2017, p. 17]

    Thanks to the Switch edition’s versatility, combined with the free and exclusive Super Mario mash-up pack, this is one of the best versions I could have started out with and is an ideal purchase for fans on-the-go and newcomers alike.
