Minecraft - Nintendo Switch [Digital Code]

A gift for my brother. Good choice. Easy to use.

This was an easy, hassle free purchase. It’s very convenient not to have to wait for shipping as it is a digital redemption code for the Nintendo e shop! I would definitely buy this again!

I'm a PC gamer by heart. Mainly because I prefer mouse and keyboard. I always felt controls in games make all the difference when it comes to enjoying your experience. You can have one of your favorite games on a different platform if you don't like the controls your experience is ruined for certain. That being said, I was very happy to find the controls for minecraft were not only do-able, but for a kick back and relaxed experience I much preferred controller for the game. As much as I love to sit on my computer and play with precision aiming, there's nothing more relaxing than kicking back on the couch and relaxing with some Minecraft. The controllers menu shortcut buttons made accessing and navigating through the inventory very fast and enjoyable. My own complaint (if you even want to call it a complaint) was I felt a bit slower building compared to playing on my PC with mouse and keyboard. I generally build fast but I found myself miss clicking and building blocks in spots I didn't intend to. That being said, maybe I should slow down and take my time or I just suck at aiming with the controller. If you never played Minecraft before or you have just want to play on the Switch I say its well worth the price. My sister and nephew and I enjoy getting together next t each other playing on our realm server. You can still join any servers in the search bar and there is cross play so you can play with your friends on PC or on your Switch device. I hope this review was helpful. I feel bad the majority of the review was based off controls but I think the majority of you will agree no matter what the topic is controls one if not the most important aspect in a game. If you hate your control scheme your not going to enjoy your game.

My niece loves the game.

I really enjoy this game I’ve played in on the PC, and PS3 and PS4 and since it was integrated with XBox to the newer version this is supposed to make it easier to use one login account with Microsoft to access stuff like skin packs texture packs or mash up. The annoying part is that you’re not able to import saved worlds to continue playing this is a really big hassle and I won’t be playing this game until it gets fixed. Don’t expect a subscription to Minecraft Realms to work either because cross platform play doesn’t include the ability to use Realms if the main console is PlayStation. It’s now January 2021 and Realms for Minecraft PS4 has been released so players are able to transfer custom maps to the Nintendo Switch. This is a big change since Sony doesn’t have a portable console that will have updates it’s playable game but people can’t receive recent improvements which is a downer. Thanks to Mojang for the extra effort it really shows that it’s not a corporate demand for buying new machines for the sake of always needing the better appearance. For kids it’s exciting to get presents like gaming consoles so when it happens for them they should be able to enjoy it, as adults we can afford the money but most scenarios time is more valuable

For those of you who are worried about downloading off of Amazon, you have nothing to fear. I was afraid something would go wrong. The redemption code didn't "fit" into my switch on the eshop, but luckily Amazon has other ways to do things. I just clicked on a link that said "redeem on Nintendo.com" and it automatically started downloading on my Nintendo Switch! Took less than 15 minutes to download, too. I have minecraft on everything and I was happy to get it on my Nintendo Switch because I could play with others in the car without internet on separate systems. The game itself is not like pocket edition for those of you who thought it was. It is the full console version with some extra stuff. I would recommend to anyone who has a Switch!

Purchased this game for my brother so we could cross play since I have Minecraft on my PC (bedrock edition). He already has it on the PS4 but for some reason we just could not get Minecraft Realms to work. This one works. Switch edition is indeed compatible with Reams crossplay. HOWEVER, (and this is why I give it 4 out 5) you will need to have a subscription to Nintendo's online service. We didn't know that and there's no mention of that anywhere. so it can be a bit expensive after you take everything into account. If you just want to play Minecraft on your own then I'm pretty sure you won't need to spend money on the Nintendo online service. Still a great game. Happy mining.

I didn’t want to link my card info to my son’s account. This was one of the easier to redeem online purchases I’ve done
