Trivia

 * The Nintendo Switch Edition (alongside the Wii U Edition) is the most expensive edition of Minecraft to date, at $29.99.
 * This is due to the game releasing with The Super Mario Mash-Up pack, and trial versions of other mash-up packs and texture packs.
 * All DLC included with the Nintendo Switch Edition are the same as the Xbox One Edition Holiday Pack, with the exception of the Halo Mash-up pack, which is exclusive to Xbox platforms.
 * This is ahead of the Java Edition of Minecraft by just $3.04.
 * Compared to the Xbox One Edition and PlayStation 4 Edition, the Nintendo Switch Edition has a lower render distance, and has neither the Large world size nor the Amplified Worlds option.
