Here's my issue, minecraft is in my top 5 favorite games EVER. after buying it for every other console I moved onto the switch and wanted to play anywhere. My games loaded EXTREMELY slow, took forever to even be able to move across the map and have the ground load under me. Playing in creative mode was absolutely out of the question. I tried moving my games to an SD card and then just deleted all of my games. It still ran extremely slow. Am I the only one???

This is a great game for switch and works very well. My only complaint is that if you want to play online with friends (ex: make a world, play online game modes, etc.) you have to buy Nintendo Switch Online, which is about $4 a month. If you are getting this game to play with friends I suggest just getting pocket addition (Minecraft mobile) to save money in the long run.

I bought a Nintendo switch specifically for this game… It did not disappoint . I started playing Minecraft back when it was very new to the gaming world and fell off after I lost my PS4 and now that I have a switch I can play it all the time!

I had a good experience buying this game! The case was without dents, scratching, etc, and the game card was good as new! The customer service was also kind and helpful. The game however does has its downsides: - The controls on the switch do take a while to get used to ( as they are more simple on pc), but once you do, it's a nice experience if you have Nintendo Switch Online! ( you cannot go into servers unless you have the subscription). My younger sibling took a day or two to enjoy the gameplay with no trouble with the controls ( before this game she had no prior knowledge of the controls) - You cannot upload skins or make your own; you have several options from the Mario Bros skins that they offer. If you do plan to use them in other servers, the skin will not be visible to other players but yourself. ( Meaning that they will see the default skin) This does state on the game itself, but it's easy to miss this fact. Overall, the graphics are nice and the gameplay is smooth except for the small things I have mentioned above!

It’s a very fun game. It’s a little challenging trying to figure out how to make stuff but that’s part of the fun. I died a lot when I started out but I’m getting better lol game tip: make your base close to where you first spawned because that’s where your compasses will point later on :)
