Nintendo finds the cause of Minecraft’s random screenshot issue on Switch, bug fix coming soon
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 4 Comments
Since the launch of Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition last week, some users have been reporting an odd issue. Without any input from the user, the problem involves screenshots being taken automatically and randomly. While not confirmed at the time, the situation appeared to be tied to Minecraft.
4J Studios posted an update on Twitter today confirming that Minecraft is indeed the cause, and Nintendo now knows what’s causing it. A bug fix will be addressed soon to not only address problems with screenshots, but false Home button presses as well.

Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition’s resolution could increase to 1080p while docked in the future
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 28 Comments
Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition currently runs at 720p at all times. Even when the system is docked, the resolution doesn’t change.
After speaking with Microsoft, TIME reports that “Minecraft’s 720p docked/undocked resolution isn’t a question of system power, but stems from issues currently experienced shifting from one resolution to the other when docking/undocking.” The publication further adds: “It’s possible, albeit not confirmed, that Minecraft for Switch could hit 1080p docked down the road.”

No current option for audio gamechat in Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 7 Comments
Much like the Wii U version, Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition supports online play. There is a key difference separating the two versions though: audio gamechat.
This is something included with Minecraft on Wii U. But with Switch, no such option exists. It’s thought that we won’t be seeing it until Nintendo finishes the upcoming smartphone app.
