this summer Nintendo has been releasing a lot of different special edition DS's in Japan we saw the animal crossing design there was also a Mario Kart that was just a black and red and most recently they released this minecraft edition which I one note it's kind of weird to have a Nintendo box product where on the back it actually says Microsoft Studios but in celebration of its release we're gonna open up check it out as well as go over some awesome minecraft themed Nintendo accessories this design actually surprised me a little bit because normally when you think of how a creeper looks in-game it's usually that cube voxel design where it has the multiple shades of green squares on it kind of like what you can see on the box you've got the little different shades of green going on whereas on this design instead Nintendo went for just one single shade of green which is this kind of light lime-green almost neon kind of like with you with their joy cons and to create that square effect for the face they created just little tiny shaved off levels there's just a little bit of an evenness to the front that up-close is a really cool little detail this really rolls into a lot of what I've been saying lately about Nintendo when it comes to special editions lately is that at least for the DS line they've really been learning how to start nailing down different special ascetic designs I think it was a really good call sticking with the one color because it allows them to focus on a very simple and straightforward two color design you the main lime-green going on over here we've got black for the face for the buttons on the shoulder as well as all the text in the back which it does say minecraft as well and then on the inside the black plays really well with the d-pad and the buttons along with the screen to create this really good - color design you get a little bit of grey with the sticks but that's pretty ignore well compared to some other special edition designs they've done in the past where there's always like an unnecessary third color or the things playing with it no this is just a nice simple tubular design that looks really sharp and clean now this is not the only special edition minecraft system that has come out last year Microsoft had their own Xbox 1s design that was really intricate and I think it's really interesting to compare the differences in how these two were tackled because that design was very very intricate there was a lot different colors going on lots of little details that I really loved this in the other hand is a much more simple straightforward approach I do like the detail that one to the Xbox one but I think this is a really good job of just nailing the aesthetic without doing just too much extra if you're a fan of Minecraft this is an awesome little click will pick up sadly however they are currently only available in Japan and while isn't too difficult to import DS's our regional ops so yeah have fun with that but if you wanted a collectible it's great pick up now there are a lot of other minecraft themed Nintendo stuff you can grab a lot of things for the switch let's take a look at some awesome accessories just kind of fill out your Minecraft Nintendo collection first off we've got a game card case from power a that can hold all of your switch games now me personally I love grabbing as many mice which games physically as I can so this is a really handy way to carry games around something to that I think a lot of people don't realize is that these are designed to not only carry all your switch games but they also have little smaller slots to where you can also add SD cards in case you use multiple ones and I do have a lot of different designs aside from Minecraft one but this one just blends in perfectly especially considering well shared themes going on here oh yeah totally well it's like this green kind of matches this lighter one but yeah next let's take a look at another part and power a their grip designs and I have talked many times before about how I am NOT a big fan of Nintendo's official joint hug grips I just don't think the comfort grip is well very comfortable power raise is a huge upgrade though it might look a little similar at first but the grip design is a little more contoured and shaped it's more comfortable for your hand and it's made out of a softer rubber but what's really cool for this video is they have done a whole bunch of different designs including a Minecraft one featuring a diamond sword on the front and what I think is a really nice touch is actually matching that diamond coloring on the grip which looks so good by the way if you're curious about these white joy cons that we have in the grip right here these are actually skins made by today's sponsor D brand they've made a whole line of switch skins that are totally safe to use for the system you can get them for the dough the dough icons the dough cons D brand new icons forgot to say hey you can get it for the joy cons the switch itself or even for your dock and get about a whole bunch in your colors for today's video we're got the Minecraft thing going on I really like the way the white looks in this grip or if you want something for the switch itself I think the green does a great job of giving that feeling of a creeper if you want to buy them make sure check out the link down below now if you want a more proper controller design a really good choice and this is gonna seem weird at first but trust me so long and that's Xbox one controllers they've made two really cool minecraft themed designs with the creeper and pigs there's lots of cool little details on these now there are a lot of accessories out there that allow to use an Xbox one controller with a switch a couple of big options are you can grab the 8-bit Doh retro receiver which is a really easy way to set it up the only downside is you need to have a USB port to attach it to so it's really only good for dock mode it's not gonna work for a tabletop setup so if you all something's gonna work on both I really like the Brook adapter this is something that attaches to the Xbox one controller itself and allows it to be used as a Bluetooth controller across a number of different devices the switch included really easy to set up just don't put it in the right switch mode plug it in the do an initial set up and bam you have an Xbox one controller that works seamlessly on the switch personally as far as monitoring controller designs go I find the Xbox one to be the most comfortable so being able to use it across the number of devices especially the switch is just a major upgrade heart out which is dead
