Why Minecraft Is 720p on Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft runs at a resolution of 720p in both handheld and docked modes, and Microsoft has come forward to explain why.
According to TIME, Microsoft confirmed the Switch version's lack of 1080p support, even when docked, isn't because the system isn't powerful enough to handle it, but rather due to issues with the shift between resolutions when switching from docked to undocked mode.
While Microsoft has yet to confirm whether or not 1080p support will ever be available for the Switch version, TIME notes that it's possible the game could feature a resolution boost when playing in docked mode at some point in the future.

This Custom SNES Switch Is a Nintendo Fan’s Dream
While we can't play Super Nintendo games on Nintendo Switch just yet, one custom controller and console maker has turned a Switch into a loving tribute to Nintendo's 16-bit heyday.
Kustom Kontrollerz, an Orange County, CA based controller customizer, has taken an entire Nintendo Switch and retro-fied it to give it a Super Nintendo color scheme. Currently just the Joy-cons are completed, but they look everything the part.
Johnny Marcos, Kustom Kontrollerz founder, told us while his company does skins for other controllers, the Switch controller is entirely custom painted.
