Minecraft for Nintendo Switch has received a few changes and updates with the release of its latest patch. 

Patch 6, released July 25th 2017, brings with it a new Glide track, new skins, plus a whole lot of bug fixes.  Most notably comes the news that this patch updates the resolution of the game to 1080p in docked mode. 

Previously, the game ran at 720p, both in docked mode and on the go.  It was known to struggle with this resolution at times, so it will be interesting to learn how the developers made it work.

I love all things Nintendo!  It’s my Dad’s fault really, since he bought my sister and I the NES many Christmases ago.  It was the beginning of a love affair, but who could blame me?  There was no better introduction to video games than Mario and Zelda!  I’m a proud owner of a 3DS (Fire Emblem-branded, thank you), a Wii U (which, incidentally, also doubles as my TV remote), and the Switch (day one, naturally).  I’m a writer and a web developer, so I love writing reviews and take design elements very seriously.  My all-time favorite game is Super Mario World for the SNES, though I’m also partial to any of the Mario Kart entries.
