Show This page describes an edition of the game that has been officially discontinued. This edition is no longer updated or available for digital purchase. Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition is the edition of Minecraft developed by 4J Studios and Mojang Studios for the Nintendo Switch family of systems.[9] It was announced on January 12, 2017 at the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, and was available on the Nintendo eShop for US$29.99 between May 11, 2017 and June 21, 2018. Existing digital owners are still able to access, re-download, and play this version. A retail version was said to be arriving at a later date, but was never released.[10] DLC for the game is still available on the Nintendo eShop. Like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 editions players, the Nintendo Switch Edition owners have the option to download the Bedrock version for free, however not all DLC will transfer. As with other games that are released on the Nintendo Switch family of systems, Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition can be played in TV, handheld, or tabletop mode. Compared to the Wii U Edition, the Nintendo Switch Edition includes world sizes up to 3072×3072 blocks, 11 chunk render distance, and other enhancements offered by the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch Edition has all Legacy Console Edition exclusive features, the most notable being Mini games. As of 1.0.17, the Nintendo Switch Edition has not received new feature updates, such as the Update Aquatic, Village & Pillage, Buzzy Bees, the Nether Update, Caves & Cliffs, and so on.[11] The Nintendo Switch Edition's most recent feature update is the World of Color Update. Controls[]In default settings, the controls are always displayed on the HUD. The controls for Nintendo Switch Edition are similar to Wii U Edition. Gameplay[]Nintendo Switch Edition can be played in TV, handheld, and tabletop mode. The in-game username corresponds to the display name of the current Nintendo Switch user or users, which is changeable. The game is playable with a pair of Joy-Con or a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Because of the Nintendo Switch's 720p screen, splitscreen is available even in Tabletop Mode. The render distance is 11 chunks in TV Mode and 7 chunks outside of TV Mode. Worlds from Wii U Edition can be transferred over a local network, but currently cannot be loaded on the Nintendo Switch Edition, as Wii U Edition has Update Aquatic, while the Nintendo Switch Edition does not. Similarly to PlayStation Vita Edition, the network mode of the game can be switched between Online and Local - the latter enables multiplayer with nearby consoles running Nintendo Switch Edition. DLC[]The following DLC is included in Nintendo Switch Edition:
Any additional DLC for Nintendo Switch Edition can be found on the Nintendo eShop. However, the "Season Pass" and nearly all Mini game DLC are absent on the Nintendo Switch Edition, even though they can be purchased on every other version of Legacy Console Edition, including the Wii U Edition. When asked about this during the Official Minecraft Livestream, it was stated that excluding Nintendo Switch Edition players from DLC is "kind of intentional."[12] The only Mini game DLC available on the platform is the Valley Battle Map through the purchase of the Chinese Mythology Mash-Up Pack.
