Minecraft on Nintendo Switch is a first for the series. Never before has there been a full console version playable anywhere before. I think Minecraft on Switch will become a perfect storm. And to ride the popularity of the game Nintendo will work with Microsoft to develop... Minecraft amiibo . Each amiibo will come with a skin of that particular Minecraft character. Scan it in and bam, that skin is yours. Plus you get a cool collectable figure too. What do you think? Could this actually happen?



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

The Vita version of minecraft was an exact port of the X360/PS3 game though, you could even swap your world back and forth between the ps3 and Vita versions without altering the map at all.

I bought MC on Switch day one because I'm a whore for buying that game, but still, just saying it isn't the first time the game is available on a mobile console in its complete edition.

But the world sizes were small in the PS3, Xbox 360 and Vita editions. The Switch version allows worlds 13 times bigger.

It probably will. The kids would want it and both Nintendo and MS would make a killing.

Is it still popular?

I know I wanted to get it, but I'm waiting until there's a physical release. I wonder if anyone else is in the same boat.

God bless physical DLC.

So you agree Minecraft Switch will get amiibo support then? Obviously skins will still be available as DLC only. But certain skins could be amiibo only. Also there could be a character save function on the amiibo as well, allowing you to save your upgrades, armour and weapons right to the amiibo. I know you can't wait.

I assume that you're being sarcastic, but I actually like DLC being released on-disc as otherwise I don't buy DLC.



So is it confirmed, or you think it could happen..?

I also think it is possible, but I'm doubting it at this point. Most of the amiibo that could be used for the game already have a skin in the game... at least the Mario characters. I just don't really see MC amiibo happening. It's been around for a long time and at this point I think the popularity around this game has died down a bit.
