Minecraft Nintendo Switch NEWS: Reasons Switch game might be BEST version yet

MINECRAFT joins the Nintendo Switch games list on May 12, complete with new features exclusive to the Nintendo version.

Nintendo switch owners can download Minecraft later this week, as the Mojang blockbuster gets a May 12 release date.

And it looks like the Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft might just be the best one yet.

Minecraft Switch contains the base game, as well as the Super Mario Mash-up Pack from the Wii U version.

The Super Mario Mash-up Pack contains additional content inspired by Super Mario World, Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.

This includes 40 new Super Mario-themed skins such as Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach, as well as Bowser, Wario and all seven Koopalings.

There's also a selection of Super Mario textures, a Super Mario World to explore and music from Super Mario 64.

But what really sets Minecraft Switch apart from its predecessors is the ability to play in lots of different ways.
