Minecraft for Nintendo Switch the Best Version - Time

It's another great reason to get a Switch

ChronoJoe2537d ago

Oh stop it. They gave it a high score because it's on the Switch, which makes it the best portable version, and deliberately skirted around the fact that it's missing various features, like private servers, mods, voice chat with friends, etc.

If portability makes the best version of minecraft then the PC version played on a laptop is the best version of Minecraft. This, is little better than the Vita version of the game. It's fine, but hardly the 'best version'.

EddieNX 2537d ago

It squashes the Vita version in every way tbf which is 540p 25 fps with much less blocks and smaller levels. I know its hard to accept that the Switch is excellent but it just is lol.... If u already own it on console or PC then skip this version. Otherwise Switch makes the case for being most convenient version

KwietStorm_BLM2537d ago

So exactly like he said, it's [apparently] the best version because it's the Switch version.

Rimeskeem2537d ago

Why bring up the Vita troll.

BiggerBoss2536d ago

So it's not the best. Just the most convenient?

_-EDMIX-_2537d ago

? Really? I thought the switch version came what some of those features already?

If that's the case it sounds like the PC version is always going to be the default best version.

Neonridr2537d ago

I would take Minecraft on my Switch over my PS4. I don't have to sit in front of my TV to enjoy it.

Yeah, taking out my laptop on the bus/subway would be super ideal.. smh

WeAreLegion2537d ago

1. You can play the PS4 version on Vita.

2. Laptops are just as portable as the Switch. Neither fits in a pocket.

Concertoine2537d ago

@WeAreLegion

Not backing the author's assertion but no, a laptop is absolutely not as portable as the switch.

You'd either need to use the trackpad or bring a bluetooth controller, and have a place to set it down (or burn the shit out of your lap).

There's a reason you dont see many people with gaming laptops, especially in public.

Lockdown5552537d ago

Seriously, lol. People comparing the Switches portability to a laptop is just laughable.

Prince_TFK2537d ago

Laptop are as portable as the Switch? I had seen many delusional comments here on N4G but this just took it to a new height.

Neonridr2536d ago

@Legion - first off, you need to buy a $200 accessory to do that first. Secondly, are you pairing your Vita to your phone first before you try to remotely connect to your PS4 at home? Love to see how that works out.

And I almost spat out my coffee when you told me that a laptop is just as portable as a Switch.

UnHoly_One2536d ago (Edited 2536d ago )

My Xbox One is almost as portable as a Switch, too.

I just need a trailer for my 75" TV and a generator to power everything.

Other than that, it's nearly identical.

The salt on this website man lol

FinalomegaS2536d ago

you would think over the years they would get more civil...

just keeps getting worst...

Cobra9512537d ago

No console version can be modded or use private servers. The voice chat is the one negative. On the plus side, it can be played on the go (or on a TV).

Lockdown5552537d ago

Exactly. I think the PC version still has a lot of advantages that consoles don't but once voice chat hits this fall the Switch version will truly be the best console version.

They never mention world of Warcraft as one of the best selling games, they had 14 million subscribed at once and still have millions subscribeb to this day. They must have outsold Minecraft easily.

ElementX2537d ago

I really doubt WoW has outsold Minecraft. Just on the systems I've owned I bought MC on 360, PS3, PS4?, Xbox One, my android phone, I bought a copy for my mom's iPad, and I have the original PC and Win 10 editions.

bow2yoda2537d ago

wow is in the millions... minecraft is in the billions.

kevnb2536d ago

Minecraft is nowhere near billions sold...

BiggerBoss2536d ago

Lol if you think Minecraft sold billions I think you need to get a brain and think about how many people are on this earth.

bow2yoda2535d ago

first and foremost... i was not talking copys of the game as much as i was referring to the amount of money that the ip has brought in... eg game sales... spin off sales.... merch.... upcoming movie possibility. wow will never ever come close. now little boss... use your brain.

Yohshida2537d ago

Minecraft is on track to be the best selling game of all time

inStereo2536d ago (Edited 2536d ago )

From Wikipedia's entry on Minecraft: "As of February 2017, over 121 million copies have been sold across all platforms, making it the second best-selling video game of all time, only behind the various releases of Tetris."

You Switch haters really piss me off.

Patriot4Life2537d ago

I remember when MS bought MineCraft for $2 Billion and people were laughing...MS has made that $2 Billion back in two years and is now swimming in money.

akurtz2537d ago

you have no clue why people were laughing

Patriot4Life2537d ago (Edited 2537d ago )

Actually I do...jealous PS loyalist who hate everything MS.

They were saying that this was a stupid move and MS paid too much - in the end it was a smart move since PC,PS4, Switch, DS, Apple, Android and Vita users love the game.

_-EDMIX-_2537d ago (Edited 2537d ago )

? Lol

I don't think anybody was really doubting or questioning if they would make that money back Minecraft as an actual brand itself is extremely popular with a crap load of merchandise and cross media

The possibility of Microsoft also continuing to sell it on multiple platforms also boosted they're likeliness of them making that money back.

If anything if your beef is with those people that specifically made those statements actually reply to them specifically.

yomfweeee2536d ago

They paid $2.5 billion and it is doubtful they have made that back already.

shinoff218343d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1

FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG

Inverno43d ago

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name43d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno43d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno43d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure43d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX62d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
