Minecraft: Switch Edition Official and Coming Soon

Is that every format now?

Switch Edition

Good news, if you haven’t had chance to play Mojang’s Minecraft as yet, good news, it will be coming as a Nintendo Switch Edition.

In a move that should surprise no one, it has been confirmed on Nintendo’s website that we will see the block building world make a move to a Nintendo’s new console. Although Minecraft is essentially on every conceivable format, it still manages to bring something unique to each format, usually. Whether that’s exclusive DLC packs or ways to play, I’m sure the Nintendo version of Minecraft is primed for all sorts of cool skin packs.

Little is known about Minecraft: Switch Edition except that it’s coming and there’s a bit of spiel on Nintendo’s site:

“The critically acclaimed Minecraft comes to the Nintendo Switch system. Create your very own game world to explore, build and conquer. When night falls the monsters appear, so ensure you’ve made yourself a shelter before they arrive. Make it through the night and the world is only limited by your imagination you choose what you want to make or what to do.”

The news was also confirmed over on 4J Studio’s Twitter account with a screen shot of the Switch in tablet mode:
