Shortly after the Nintendo Switch was revealed during a gaming conference, 4J Studios revealed that Minecraft would be joining the Switch, with its own edition!
Specific features to Switch Edition have not yet been revealed, nor a specified release date. It is expected that it will share many similarities to Minecraft: WiiU Edition.
Minecraft has a long and storied history with numerous gaming platforms, establishing itself as one of the most widely available games today. Whether console, desktop, or portable, there is definitely a way for everyone to play Minecraft!

Posted Jan 16, 2017I bought Pocket Edition but could never get used to touch controls, so this is more than welcome for having another version of Minecraft I can take on the go.

(Do we really need Minecraft on a portable "console" when it will work just fine on your phone?"

Posted Jan 16, 2017I'm assuming its going to be the Console Edition if its from 4J. Think Xbox One/PS4, its has slightly more features.

Posted Jan 16, 2017It's console edition but in a small tablet, and you keep the controller functionality.
Pocket Edition controls are the worst in my opinion.

Posted Jan 17, 2017The Switch can run much better games than your phone. This will be more like the console editions, which are tons better than PE.
EDIT: Greninja'd many times. I should learn to read.

Posted Jan 16, 2017My hopes of a 3DS Minecraft are just about gone now. Oh well! Will probably pick this version up if I get a Switch.

Posted Jan 16, 2017Even the new 3ds' specs are way too low for even pocket edition.
Would have been really cool, especially with working 3d, and touchscreen use, but the 3ds was just a very underpowered console.

Posted Jan 16, 2017The console versions of MC still don't have unlimited world sizes and some mobs (like wolves/snow golems) are limited to 16.
And it is the console version of minecraft, since the original source image is from their twitter

Posted Jan 16, 2017Oh my gosh! I'm so excited!!! This will be so much easier to play than it is with pocket edition! I just find the touch controls too hard to play with.
