Does it support split screen in tabletop mode?
Yes.
no doubt about it, this will be switch's cod/gta, whenever it comes out
Wait, I thought Microsoft bought this franchise? I'm confused.
Minecraft sells on everything.
So, yeah.
Yes.

How do they solve it with only one joycon stick in tabletop mode?
Yeah, I have seen that image. Doesn't help me much though since I've only played the PC version. I wanna see the camera flying from corner to corner, if that makes sense.
My seven year old brother has been obsessed with Minecraft on PC for the past three or so years. He spends so many hours building, crafting, even watching tutorial videos. His school even encourages it with coding projects and activities.
He's been absorbed with Breath of the Wild for the last two months, though. But once Minecraft hits Switch... oh boy. A portable Minecraft on a cute Nintendo tablet that easily plugs into the HDTV? I envy the excitement he'll have.

If Microsoft manages to get Realms across different console versions, I will triple dip on this !

Is MInecraft still popular? I really don't know.
Extremely.Is MInecraft still popular? I really don't know.
Wait... 4 player splitscreen?
I'm interested and have never played Mine craft before. Can someone explain what four players can do together?

My lad (8) plays it consistently. If he isn't playing it, he is watching Stampy/Squid/Squaishy videos, or DanTDM now. Outside of this, Lego Worlds is the only other game that has captured his imagination.
It's the only game he is really interested in. He doesn't get why games don't have freedom in, and you have to follow a sequence of events to get to the end.
It'll sell well but I think most people will be happy to keep playing it on whatever platforms they own already. Especially kids with tablets, I doubt they'll care too much about the Switch version.

What would Minecraft 2 even be and what would have that would justify it being an entirely new game rather than yet another Minecraft 1 update? And why does there need to be a sequel when the original continues to sell obscenely well on all platforms?What about Minecraft 2? Is it in development by Microsoft? Will they announce it on E3?

We've known about pricing since it was announced.
$30.
As you say, that is a placeholder. Microsoft hasn't released any details about the physical price and date.
Exactly the same here. 8 year old lad, loves Minecraft. It's what he and his friends talk about. He doesn't watch Stampy/Squaishy anymore but loves iBallistic Squid and Popular MMO's.
Being able to play 'proper' Minecraft, not Pocket Edition, on a portable device is a huge thing for kids. I've already got it for my PS3/4 but I think this will quickly become his favourite version. He'll be able to play it wherever he wants and even compared to the PS4 sleep mode he'll be able to get playing a lot quicker.
To be fair, I'm not sure what Portable Edition is lacking. Pre v1.0, it was dreadful. You could walk across the world in a couple of minutes and there was next to nothing there. It was like that for ages. All of a sudden, the mobile dev side got major traction and it has the full feature set plus the novelty of infinite world size.
Now it is getting all the DLC store stuff, skins, textures, the whole lot.
It's kind of impossible to describe, to be honest. You kind of have to just play it, and either you "get" it or you don't. But it's the freedom to do whatever you want, however you want, solo or cooperatively, split screen or online, that makes it popular. The game is ultimately whatever you make it to be.I've never played Minecraft. What makes it so appealing? Seems like a massive time sink of endless grinding.

There's the Vita version too.I may pick it up just for the novelty of having a decent portable version.

Building, exploring, surviving.Is it mainly just building? I've seen that there can be monsters, so survival as well?
I'm going to have to look to see if there's a demo.
If it's mainly just relaxing and building things I don't think it's for me. I'll probably just wait for Animal Crossing for my next portable time sink.
Building, exploring, surviving.
There's Survival Mode which is all of that. You have to eat food to maintain stamina and regenerate health. Enemies come out at night, so you have to build shelter during the day. Equipment has to be forged through gathered resources. You have to explore to find new biomes and thus resources. There are villages where you can trade with villagers. You can find, tame, and breed animals, etc.. There are also bosses you can reach/spawn and other dimensions to go to, though you need special portals made from rare resources to access them. There's a lot more too, but that's the basic rundown of the mode.
You can also play in peaceful mode where enemies don't spawn and food isn't necessary, but all resources must be manually acquired.
Then there's Creative Mode where you're given unlimited resources to do whatever the hell you like.

Ah, haven't played it for a long time so probably missed out on all that!
Still prefer to use a controller than touchscreen though!
