    I Havent touched Minecraft in a few years and always played it on PC. Ive just played it in the hotel on the bus , on the plane and now ive popped it into my 40 inch tv and can see my creations blown up and fully realized. Im not a massive fan of Nintendo but they have smashed it out of the ballpark with this machine. Its perfect for MInecraft.

    It's Minecraft that's simple. With no mods the game really doesn't stay interesting for long. But the Mario pack is cute and fun but it's just vanilla Minecraft with a Mario pack

    Minecraft on Switch displays a great balance between functionality and portability. It's more powerful (map is much larger) than on other portable devices such as iPad, PSV while it's portable and you can play it anywhere you want compared to the powerful consoles such as PC, Xbox and PS4. So people please stop whining about how this version is no better than the console version. Can youMinecraft on Switch displays a great balance between functionality and portability.

Can you even play a solid (not the trimmed down version on iOS or PSV) Minecraft on subway with Xbox or PS4?
    In general, this Switch version makes me want to play Minecraft much often than before and I think it's a a great for Nintendo Switch. The only cons for now is its relatively high price compared to other platforms (though it included some nice DLC texture packs and Mario mode).    … Expand

    What appears to be missed by some people is how the Switch changes the experience of playing Minecraft. Yes, if you only play games tethered to a TV or a monitor then you should buy (or already have) Minecraft on a console or PC. I also hear people say that they can buy the mobile version... multi-touch is utter crap when it comes to 3D games!

    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.
