Nintendo confirms that the popular indie game "Minecraft" is coming to the Nintendo Switch and is currently in development. This adds to its library of games alongside powerhouse "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Super Mario Odyssey."

Nintendo's announcement doesn't contain much detail about the game, let alone a release date, according to Game Rant. However, Nintendo UK recently tweeted a lineup of games that may indicate that "Minecraft" will come out this year. The said announcement also did not include how many players can join in "Minecraft" at the same time.

This is not the first time the game has been ported to a Nintendo console, as it already exists on the Wii U. In addition, Nintendo released a DLC with a "Super Mario" update that enables players to create environments and levels and also include textures and skins from the series.

Meanwhile, according to Gamespot, "Minecraft: Story Mode", a TellTale Game Series, has been confirmed also by Nintendo. It has not disclosed a release date so far. 

"Minecraft" was developed and published by Mojang and was initially released for the PC. It has been available for almost seven years and, due to its popularity, the game has been ported to various platforms including Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, PS Vita and Xbox one. The Nintendo Switch is the most recent. Upon its release, it received numerous awards and accolades. Most people would agree that this game is one of the most surprising game stories in the industry.
