Actually, no, I still have to play it too. For what it's worth I'm more compelled to try it on Switch than anywhere else right now. Portability, Nintendo skins... I'm down.
I just played for half an hour while having my morning coffee...
The crafting system is super whack - i'm still used to having to memorize those "shapes" of materials you have to create in your crafting table.
it's weird that it wouldn't default each 'column' to something i have the materials for. Like, i had plenty of wood, but i had to scroll down towards the right kind of wood plank, because of the specific type of tree i had cut down. Same for doors.
What really really bothered me is that - by default - "b" (the bottom face button) is 'drop item' ... i keep dropping my map and tools when trying to jump.
Beyond that, the game controls and runs fine. I already got my little dark starting cave dug into the side of the mountain ...

Dear parents,
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I don't think you will ever have eye-contact with your kid again after switch Minecraft.

In controls settings, you can swap B and A so that A becomes the drop item button
There's also a classic crafting option somewhere in the menu. It's kind of ass to try and make the classic crafting recipes with the buttons, but if you're used to memorising the recipes and want to put those skills to use, that's your best bet.
If Terraria and Stardew Valley get equally good Switch ports (I'm pretty sure the Terraria port will be fantastic, based on what they did with the Wii U version), there will be an amazing triple of indie (well, I still see MC as an indie game) sandbox games for big screen/on the go gaming.

Can anyone tell me WHY this game has been such a big hit with kids? I mean, I used to play it on 360 quite a bit, but eventually, I got bored. I don't understand it's super long term appeal.

Then you have no imagination I guess? Kids usually have great imagination and Minecraft taps into that. Building your dreams is fun.

yeah, i know - it's just a matter of getting used to the way it works by default. Not like dropping shit with "a" is any less dangerous
and crafting the 'old-school' style with a console cursor sounds super bothersome... so i'm happy about that feature.
