Separately, the Nintendo Switch community will still be getting the new version of Minecraft with cross-platform multiplayer, but not until 2018. Nintendo has been a great partner and we're really excited to fully bring Switch players into the fold, however, we need to make sure we deliver the best experience possible. So the new version of Minecraft will now be coming to Nintendo Switch next year. Xbox One, PC, mobile and Nintendo Switch, all playing multiplayer Minecraft together in 2018 - I'm getting emotional just thinking about it...

Super Duper Texture pack also delayed on all platforms.

Well damn.

I bet they're working to fix the issues with the release on other platforms first before releasing anything for the Switch.

Not really surprised. I read somewhere that there was some problems with the update ? I hope they will fix the issues for the launch.

That explains why the retail edition is not coming this year either (unless it'll be a surprise announcement). Europe is also still waiting for the 3DS edition.

Wherever
I played 10 hours on Switch then put it aside to wait for this update and play with super duper graphics. Will keep waiting...

Microsoft taking its time to make sure Switch gets the royal treatment, no rush here

Good on them

Well whatever... this sucks for me as I'm waiting for a physical version to buy the game on the Switch. But as long as it comes out eventually, I guess I'll be ok. This will be the first version of Minecraft I own since the 360 version, so I'm looking forward to it and see it as a must buy

If they can pull off some magic and get

(a version of) super duper graphics
cross-play
none of the bugs

then it will be worth the wait to play Minecraft again on Switch.

I was tempted to post this in the Supergirl thread on Etcetera, but it's not really about Supergirl per se...

Check out this lovely ad Melissa Benoist did for Minecraft to promote the Super Duper graphics pack for Minecraft

Hopefully the Better Together edition will be a better product by the time it comes to Switch.

As someone who is an idiot with Minecraft, but has a nephew getting this for Christmas, can I bump this to ask

A) Does the voice chat app (or any other non-Skype/Discord solution) work with Switch Minecraft? Also is it party chat only, or is there potential for randos?
B) Is there any version of cross-play in the current version or does that wait until this update?

No voice chat.

There's cross-play between other Switches, but not between other consoles (Xbox One, PC) yet.
