the fact that the relatively stable and beloved legacy console edition was completely replaced with bedrock which is notorious with having issues makes me so upset

I own this version of the game and I still play it today

Seeing how switch edition is digital only, switches that have that version of Minecraft should be worth a lot of money

I don't mean to advertise, but I made a video about this version's quirks. Specifically, the weird and buggy things that are not found in modern versions of Minecraft (I believe they're tied to MC's Legacy Console Edition line). My favorite part of Minecraft Switch Edition is the elytra. I found out that, when equipped, you can sprint, keep the camera facing at a downward angle (but not straight down, more like ~45 degrees), jump with the A-button, and press the A-button again just before you land you activate gliding with the elytra, which gives you a slight speed boost on the ground when chained together. But then when you time the jump precisely you can glide out of a jump. And that's not even the best part! The best part is after a glide out of jumping, you can time another jump near-frame-perfectly and keep gliding. In this state, you move at the same speed of flying with the elytra but at ground level. I nicknamed this trick "elytra-hopping". I have not tried this going up block heights because of the very strict timing.

a great thing about this version: go on a minigame and add everyone you play with keep doing this and soon you will be friends with everyone on this version then you can join their worlds and a lot of people have cool stuff, like simulators you kill mobs and trade the mob loot for better gear is pretty fun

My memories, I instantly bought that version when it released and never updated it on the Nintendo Store.

so basically, its minecraft for wii u

The legacy console version on PS3 was how i first played Minecraft :) Now PC gamer and only playing Java

Randomly found your channel while surfing around to find stuff for a PSVITA(had just watched MC vita edition) and honestly I wish these videos were longer, I love listening to videos that are just people talking, already enjoying your videos even if I've only seen 2. This is great man.

Flaming62, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!

i love how youtube started to recommend small youtubers to me, these videos are well made!

I'm willing to do what Flaming62 won't do. I condone piracy, especially in cases like this where it's a matter of preservation. There's no harm in it.

300th subscriber!! switch minecraft was alot of fun :D

This version of the game will forever be immortalized on DanTDM’s Nintendo Switch Minecraft let’s play. Honestly, this version of Minecraft is one of my favorites, but I don’t have it anymore.

i honestly watched this whole video think you would’ve had so many more subscribers. keep up the good quality content and you should hopefully grow in no time

1.12 was the last update before minecraft seriously started to lose it's simplicity. So in that sense, this version of the game is the best way to experience classic Minecraft on Switch

I have this version I’ve had it for years I don’t play as much as I used to because I don’t play my switch that much but I know I have this game this version

I'm glad I still have it on Switch, xbox, and playstation

i remember playing this version that came with me buying a second hand switch around 2018. if only i knew what treasure i had at my hands when i deleted the still existing accounts on this console

this was a great video! + 1 subscriber to you!

I still have this version of Minecraft and I remember playing the minigames and one world I spent most of my time on when I was younger, I had a whole double chest full of random enchanted items that shouldn’t be enchant-able

this was only like a few months before the better together update so I can see how it was forgotten

I've been looking for this version for such a long time, Ill literally buy an account just for this game.

I recently went into a public lobby and played a few rounds of battle.

More reasons why 4J Studios should buy the rights to Minecraft from Microsoft since they did such a fantastic job at porting Minecraft to home consoles and handhelds.

i NEED this version to finish my next gen legacy collection

They need to bring back the console editions of Minecraft, console editions were basically the same as Java edition back then running smoothly and having the same redstone technology, while bedrocks redstone works completely different, bedrock is a mobile port (just like the gta trilogy) blown up on consoles, the console editions ran smoothly on each console it was made for, while I have recently switched from Xbox One to Xbox Series X and with bedrock edition I’m still experiencing the same performance issues I had encountered on my Xbox One, my Xbox Series X has zero performance issues with Forza Horizon 5 yet has a hard job to run Minecraft Bedrock, Microsoft needs to bring back console editions or create a console version of bedrock that isn’t compatible with mobile devices so that it runs like a console/pc game again

Nice video, the camera quality is kind of bad but that isn't your fault at all

My friend has the legacy edition of minecraft. If I go to his profile and click on the game, it redirects me to the e-shop, but it doesn’t exist. I’m not going to the piracy route, if I want to play that edition, I could just go to my friends house or just borrow his switch.

BRO MY FRIEND HAD THIS AND IT WAS SO FIRE 😔

I loved playing the legacy console edition of minecraft as a kid. survival and creative modes were ok, (I find bedrock better in that regard) but the main grabber of this version for me were the minigames. I loved them so much offline, and when I was given temporary access to play them ONLINE, they were seriously addictive. that was so much fun

I still have this edition, along with the one for Xbox One.

Fun fact: The Switch version goes up to 1.12 but the Wii U version goes to 1.13.

I have this version of minecraft. I mostly play it for nostalgia but also because of the performance, its more playable than the bedrock version for the switch.

ive got a copy of LCE for switch and ive noticed for playing minigames your best bet is trying to match with japanese players when theyre awake ...ive only noticed this because of my awful sleep schedule, but it feels worth noting it would of been interesting if you went a little more in depth about the minigames? im _heavily_ biased towards them because of what i do nowadays but i find it really interesting how much actual CARE went into them things like how battle has powerful chests that have very good gear in usually risky or hard to reach locations instead of every chest having the same loot table. tlTumble's layer generator being an actual GENERATOR, its not a few presets, it aftually has multipme stages to how the layers generate and the entirety of glide. i can not imagine how much effort into that. i dont blame you for not knowing this kind of stuff, i only know it so well because ive wrapped my head inside and out of a lot of the minigame stuff for the purpose of recreating it

When i was younger i used to think that athlete steve was called gangster steve because he looked like franklin from gta5

I remember exactly how devastated I was years ago when I found out that the legacy version wasn’t available anymore…

I had it but I guess I had too many worlds because when you loaded it crashed...

Nintendo Switch was one of the best console in my opinion since 2020 but i still not owned yet, i played minecraft PS4 edition since 2015 or 2016 on and that was best nostalgic and it’s the best version sadly i can’t have access to play the game but in future maybe i have access to play this version Edit: i gonna emulate the Minecraft PS4 version the last version and Minecraft Legacy Console Edition >>> Bedrock Edition

I love that the shutdown of the WiiU MC legacy online and the recent update to the Xbox 360 spraked a new interest in those versions !

I wished I’d have picked this game up when it was out, but I’m not too fussed anymore as I play Minecraft on Xbox now anyway.

I love this version because its actually optimized for console unlike bedrock edition optimized for mobile :/

i had this version on my switch just before bedrock came out and then it was removed from my switch and that’s upsetting to me

This version came out so close to the Switch's launch giving it pretty big disadvantage. You needed to buy a year one Switch (or year 2 if you for some reason buying a Switch between May and June), have a way to purchase eshop game (debit or giftcard), expect the consumer to not buy the amazing Switch exclusives or wait for a physical release (that was stated to come out eventually).

Could you use an MicroSD card to install the nsp on the switch?

if only i had the chance

The author can tell me how to download it to the switch? I have a Nintendo Switch lite license

that feel when the legacy version on Wii U has a more recent update then the legacy version on Switch lol

Say what you will about Legacy Minecraft, them mini games had amazingly detailed maps that were fun to play on

4:00 probably released because of the wii u version

I'm very upset that I'm not able to get this. It should be rereleased, and it should get a physical version, even as a collector's item.

The switch version has no minigame DLC maps. You also can't play the DLC on the Wii U anymore because it's servers shut down.

great things about this version : it's not bedrock

unfortunately i never got legacy switch edition which is really unfortunate because i want to get my wii u worlds on pc and the only way to do that is convert to legacy switch, sync old worlds on bedrock switch, upload to realms on switch, download from realms on pc i would say the only objectively bad editions of minecraft are 3ds and bedrock switch you're definitely right about the performance, 4j did way better optimization than mojang, and they actually seemed like they cared about the game, because they added the tutorial world every update, and they actually made all of the dlc, rather than just having a marketplace to create all the dlc for them

Played the minigames a few months ago in the evening and seems like alot of japanese people still play this version

I reslly wish I could play this version 😢 so sad it got removed. Luckily I still have the editions button on ps4

ive been trying to get my hands on this version specifically for so long, but i just cant find it anywhere

it's strange, whenever i do head on to play minigames, i end up encountering lobbies full of players. namely japanese players, it's nice to see them still active even if it's just around 12 people playing together.

On the PS4 and the PS5 legacy editions the last update was 1.14 or The Village and Pillage update since 1.15 or The Buzzy Busy Bees update was an update to add Bedrock Edition as the main edition because Java Edition needed too much RAM and CPU power oh and also I've only watched the first minute and it's good... I'm subscribing.

Bro, I got the switch so I could play legacy edition on the go... just to learn that it has been removed.. 100% should be added back.

1:35 I’m rolling Lmfao

I do have to warn you I played this version all the time there is a severe glitch where whenever you place a block in water or around water squids will no longer spawn from that water source because forever reason the game is programmed that touched by the player or modified in anyway, cannot spawn squids

Good news!!!! You can still play this version on a 1st revision cartridge! How do I know? Because I have one! If you put it in a switch that hasn't had minecraft yet you can still play the original version

i have this copy of the game, still my favorite minecraft game.

I own the Legacy console version of MC on switch

You can’t even get this version anymore so if you did pirate it that wouldn’t of been bad

Didn’t you say you were playing on an emulator? I assume the emulator doesn’t suport online play which is why u found no one playing

Wish I owned this version but I got my switch too late...

Ive played vs player is minigames on ps3 and people are still there

for people that want to own this the exact same version is on other older consoles like xbox 360 just its 1.13 there

It is so unspeakably bad I rage bought the PlayStation version because the switch version doesnt even work half of the time

I would have minecraft nintendo switch edition if my dad bought me it😭😭😭😭

me who managed to somehow obtain the wii u, switch, and xbox one versions of legacy: (in all seriousness, i wish the mini games from this version were in bedrock edition.)

It is still so baffling to me how poorly bedrock runs on switch when they already had a version that ran beutifully, I have not played bedrock on Switch in forever because whenever I want to play Minecraft on my Switch I just play the version that actually runs acceptably

The black steve with chain was absolutely not exclusive to this version, he was on 360 edition as well at least

I don't play the mini games much as I never had experience with them and it's literally noob vs Ninja master if so.. however I can find most games at times when it's daylight hours in Japan..you'll have plenty of tumble and battle. If you host a glide server, someone usually always joins, but with glide there aren't matches often running. Pm me for a game or a survival world I'd enjoy a friend to play this game with..

crazy how xbox 360 edition outlived this one

Bedrock on consoles in general is a bad joke. I played it for the first time on PS4 last month I was shocked by its performance and generally lame UI. Quite ironic considering MCE on PS4 is the most up to date version of MCE. I personally believe that Minecraft CE is the best Minecraft version, even Java isn’t quite as polished as it. Quite a shame that it isn’t updated anymore

One of the reasons why I play legacy Minecraft is because it's on the older version like 1.12

At least I have the Wii U Edition

You mention Bedrock on Switch has poor performance and that's absolutely true. However there's a REALLY strange quirk with Switch Bedrock. If you install Linux on your Switch and emulate Minecraft Bedrock on Yuzu on the Switch running Linux, IT RUNS BETTER THAN THE SWITCH NATIVELY RUNS BEDROCK WHYYYYYY?!?!?!

Pull our ur wii u and ur real og...

Imo Bedrock Edition on console is worse than Legacy Console, sure Bedrock has my favorite server (The Hive) but the console optimisation is horrendous (it's worse than my phone).

I still play this version every once in a while. I’m actually able to find mini game lobbies pretty fast! Great video!

Wait so this version is on 1.12? Odd, the Wii U version ended on 1.13.

i own this version!

How is it different than bedrock edition? The pause button actually pauses the game. EZ.

I think you can still get a used copy of switch edition.

I made the unfortunate mistake of buying Bedrock Edition on Nintendo switch.. that is some of the most unplayable garbage I have ever seen. For Laughs, I literally waited till night time(in game), and in 10 minutes, the game didn't even want to load a single chunk outside the chunk I was inside of. Then I started getting attacked by skeletons outside of the loaded chunk and died. There are very few games that I am willing to label unplayable, mainly because I know not every game is my cup of tea. But when the performance is so bad that you can't even play said game.. on the bright side, Nintendo gave me a refund on an online purchase because of how crap it was.

This is just legacy xbox and playstation minecraft, you dont really need an emulator unless you only have a pc

When you realize the version Nintendo doesnt want you to play is better than the version Nintendo wants you to play

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SWITCH MINECRAFTERS RISE UP

Has whoever wished for Minecraft crossplay on the monkey's paw issued a public apology yet?

your phone can run minecraft better because it’s more powerful. a switch is basically a 2016 phone

we all know Java king and cannon Minecraft others are fringe

Me who found out that physical copies of Xbox One Edition are still being sold on Amazon: *Laughs in Legacy Console Edition*

Bedrock on consoles(idk about pc i dont have one)is so bad especially the switch

interesting how you completely ignored my comment...

Who wants too add me?

your own dump right
