Minecraft is a massive beast. Regardless on whether you even think its a true video game (I’m on the fence) the game has a massive following.

Now with Minecraft being announced for the Nintendo Switch, things are about to explode once again. The 3D block building sandbox coming to the Switch means one huge step for the series –portable play.

Being able to take Minecraft on the go might just make this version of Minecraft bigger than ever. Sure, Minecraft has had some mobile versions, but those are trimmed down affairs that don’t work great on small screens. Plus, Nintendo themed stuffs!
