I mean, we have it on our computer, the PS3, the PS4, the Vita, and on our phones. Why not start over yet again? My teenager told me that there are all new updates to be had on the Switch. Mother of God, will it ever end??"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Not much to say. Minecraft is a great game. You just get the case and the game inside, but I buy physical anytime I have that option.

The packaging did not even appear abused or scuffed up.\n\nNow to dig into the gameplay starting with the bad\n\nThe Bad: A little awkward to play because of controller set up, and even that is just more of an inconvenience because you will quickly get more comfortable with the set up after just a few minutes.\n\nThe Good: It came with Super Mario skins and graphics already downloaded and the child in me shrieked with joy at all the Mario items. With the new aquatic additions the game just keeps getting more and more fun\nIf you've never played minecraft I highly recommend it.\nAll three of my children love playing it and can play it for hours non-stop and the things they can create even blow me away. This game has really expanded their creativity. My middle daughter has pretty severe ADD but when she plays minecraft she is in a league of her own its just natural talent"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I purchased 2 copies of this version of Minecraft to play with my son who lives in another state. After having trouble figuring out how Minecraft was going to work under the Nintendo Online system I went ahead and bought two versions and started fiddling with it. That's when I noticed how poor the system works with 2 big problems.\n\n1. The game in theory, will let people (each with their own Nintendo Online account) to play together without using Microsoft Realms. I thought this would be a godsend, but it seems Nintendo hasn't done a great job aligning the features and my son soon realized that you can create a new world and both of us can play on it, but when we log out he can no longer join that server. Doesn't matter if I make the server/world, or if he does, you seem to only get 1 play out of it. I looked at NAT types, I've tried port forwarding, and slew of other things. Nintendo/Mojang support is not helpful either with this problem apparently plaguing other users.\n\n2. The game itself is very buggy considering how it seems Nintendo Online handle latency and other issues. I found myself disconnected on a few occasions, or situations where I could no longer see my son's avatar even though he was right in front of me (I witnessed this over facetime). Other issues like landscape (FOV) not appearing seem pretty common in multiplayer.\n\nThe singleplayer is fine and the controls once you get used to them work great, but the primary reason I got 2 copies of this was so I could play online and that feature is doesn't work. If the problem can be resolved I'll change my review.\n\nUpdate: 6+ months later and the Nintendo Online feature still does the same thing and I've had to continue paying for a microsoft realm for us to both play on."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Great game, have it all on systems and pc and it's just a great game to have. The nintendo switch version gave me the Mario mash pack, giving you different character costumes to be, like bowser, mario, etc... if you love Mario and minecraft, then you'll sure love both of them combined."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm impressed with this version running on the Switch in both TV and Portable mode. I never owned it on the Wii U and I always did for the Mario packs but decided to wait as I have Minecraft everywhere else for my nephew. We play Cross Play from Switch to Xbox One and it's great. The Mario theme stuff does not work cross play which is understandable. It's really cool as well that I can play with him online with packs he bought on his xbox. I also enjoy that you can use the joy cons separately though I prefer using my Pro Controller and bought him a separate Hori controller (that works extremely well) for local play. Even after all these years it's still pretty fun to go around the world of Minecraft.\nHighly recommended!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I must have for people who have the switch.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Love my new physical copies of games and it’s always good to have a classic'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My husband got this when we got a Nintendo Switch for christmas. None of us had any idea what it was. We stumbled our way through trying to figure it out. Then we discovered on youtube 'POG Productionz' and that revolutionized our excitement toward this game. My six year old son watches 'POG' daily - he makes the most amazing things in Minecraft and it is so inspirational. Still a fav game in our house six months later and will continue I imagine. We generally just play on peaceful and creative. I recommend you check out POG if you are new to this too - He does whole series and makes incredible cities - it really teaches you a lot what you can do on Minecraft. Definitely recommend this game. Its addictive and barely any other games get a look in on our Switch!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Picture says a thousand words.... my son (7) is addicted... seriously its 12 pm (lunch time) on a Friday and he has all of his home schooling done (yesterday) for the week just so that he can play the game.
