The hell is that top picture? I almost thought those were natural structures, maybe trees? With the worst texture pack ever? Wouldn’t it be better to advertise it with the virgin landscape?
This is why Mario and Minecraft do not mix.
Minecraft is fine, but the Switch has a ton of games that I personally think are more interesting and/or more worth your time. FWIW, some of these are available on other systems, but I think they are still well worth the money:
- Stardew Valley - probably the last Harvest Moon style farming sim you’ll ever need. A big update with multiplayer is coming soon (already out on PC in beta form). Relaxing, and has surprisingly deep characters.
- Celeste - A lovely twitch platformer that’s as difficult as you want it to be a (which can be very difficult). Great music, great message.
- Splatoon 2 - Awesome stylish third-person shooter, now with a fun co-op horde mode and tons of weapon + level variety. Splatfests (community events where you pick a side in a debate and fight to win it) are great.
- Golf Story - Quintessentially Australian golf RPG. If those words don’t sell you I am pretty sure I’ve stumbled onto the wrong site.
- Hollow Knight - Lovely, content-filled metroidvania with a dark Ghibli aesthetic.
- Mario vs Rabbids - Not-so-secretly an amazing XCom-style tactical turn-based shooter.

if you already bought Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition last year, you’ll get this one for free.
As with our recent Better Together update for Xbox One, players who already own Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition will be able to digitally upgrade to Minecraft for free.

Second vote on Mario + Rabbids here. It really is great fun.
Jake Solomon (the designer of XCOM) wrote an interesting piece on his response to Mario+Rabbids:
