None. There is a quest to eventually find a big dragon and defeat it, but you would have to place blocks to do it. That's like asking what's the gameplay to Mario if I never want to jump.

How is console Minecraft? I see it has split screen, so can you make different profiles or something? Could I start a world and have different people with different inventories and stuff drop in and out?

How's online work?

If you are playing and you are online, friends and friends of friends(if your friend is in your world) can drop in your world if you have that enabled.

That can happen to people prone to sleepwalking. An old friend of mine did it quite a bit. Once, he got up, went into our friend's mom's room, pissed in her walk-in closet, and got into bed with her. He also got up and pissed on his older brother's bedroom door on a regular basis.

You can't really play the game without some level of building/crafting (because that is the game). If you don't immediately start scrounging for materials and erect some basic sort of shelter (I've resorted to literal hole in the dirt in one especially bad seed) the monsters that come out at night will kill you, and you'll have to start over again.

Really I like Minecraft for the exploration aspect--you can come across some pretty stunning randomly generated landscapes.

[Edit: Also, the in-game tutorials are very basic, and there's a lot of advanced stuff in the game that you won't know unless you're playing with a Wiki open (like how to craft a compass or bed, two things that are pretty much required for any sort of exploratory play). So that may effect your enjoyment of the game]

What's the story behind Minecraft? Why are you in a blocky wasteland with no shelter? Why are the monsters after you? Have you tried talking to the monsters and reaching an understanding with them?

You're a war criminal that has been exiled from hell to a remote planet. What they didn't count on is your ability to punch chunks out of trees and the landscape with your bare hands. Eventually you do enough digging and mining to fashion a portal back to the underworld and defeat Satan himself (who takes the form of a dragon). And then you become Pewdiepie.

(there is no story)

[Edit: well technically there is a Story Mode, but you have to buy it separately: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft:_Story_Mode]

Dear Nintendo

Release a special edition like this and I will buy it instantly
Alternatively, release Joycons in the SNES theme

Regards,
Everyone

Not only is this a thing of absolute beauty, but FUN SWITCH FACT: I just now (from these photos) realized the wrist strap things had trigger buttons on them and were not just for wrist straps! I have not even taken them out of the plastic and let me tell you how much hitting those shoulder buttons SUCKS with nothing on the Joycons.

The straps still suck, get a 3rd party one that is more of a sleeve instead of a clicking thing. The straps wear out the rails because they hold on so tight and make the joycons loose in handheld mode.

Bamco released it's yearly presentation thing for the next fiscal year.

Notably, it says that they have Taiko, a Tales game, and Dragonball Xenoverse 2 planned for release on the Switch by the end of the fiscal year (March 2018.)

Keep in mind this is for Japan, so localization of those things might take longer (and lol at the US getting a Taiko game.)

Xenoverse 2 is decent. The 'plot's kinda lame and combat isn't as involved as Tenkaichi 2 but making your own badass dragonball z fanfic OC is fun, though a lot of the coolest moves are random drops from sidequests which is lame.

As long as it's on the eShop anyone can buy it easily though.

Also if there's a Tales game I presume it would be a port of something that's already translated, so at least it might not take as long at something new.

Either that or the Symphonia duology, just because they're originally both from Nintendo consoles. Especially considering it's already been ported once to Steam.

So I just tried MK8D with the wrist straps for ergonomics of using the better shoulder buttons.

It's not perfect, but it's much better than bare sideways Joycons.

That said, does anyone else feel like one of their (the left) shoulder button has to be pressed HARD to Register a press. :\

I missed throwing a lot of powerups.

The wheels are seriously great. Big mushy shoulder buttons and comfortable grip. I'll be using them even in non racing games. You just have to make sure you line up the joycon in there correctly.

The replies from people demanding that Minecraft be an Xbone exclusive are more amusing than Phil promoting the Switch.

[Edit: actually no the reply asking for FTL for the Xbone (calling it a "perfect match") is more amusing. I couldn't even make that poo poo work with a Steam Controller]
