"Minecraft" is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Mojang's block building game has been confirmed to be released on Nintendo's upcoming console.

The game was released not so long ago for the Nintendo Wii U. Now that the current console's successor is scheduled to be released on March 3, "Minecraft" will also be making an appearance on the new console.

The new Nintendo Switch version of "Minecraft" was noticed on Nintendo's showcase event for their upcoming console. The Switch edition was confirmed when it was included in the announcement of the lineup of games for the new console. For one of the most popular games of all time, it was a very modest confirmation.

According to gaming website Destructoid, the version of the game for Nintendo's next generation console seems to be similar to other versions on other platforms. There are no details yet if there are any additional features exclusive to the upcoming game console. It is possible that some or all of the DLC from the Wii U edition of the game may be included, even the Mario Mash-Up pack.

Gaming website IGN reports that there were no details revealed about the new version of the block-building game. A release date has not been announced.

The description of the game on Nintendo's official site reads, "Create your very own game world to explore, build and conquer. When night falls the monsters appear, so ensure you've made yourself a shelter before they arrive. Make it through the night and the world is only limited by your imagination you choose what you want to make or what to do."

The Nintendo Switch is the latest platform that "Minecraft" has appeared on. The game has already been released on the PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS Vita, Wii U, and others.

The block building game has sold more than 106 million copies. This makes it one of the top-selling games of all time.

The developer of the game, Mojang, was bought for $2.5 billion in 2014 by Microsoft. This has not prevented "Minecraft" from being released on different platforms with the latest example being the Nintendo Switch.
