During the Nintendo Switch's big reveal back in January, plenty of games due out over the next year were shown off, and one of the titles that showed up was Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure. Containing access to all of the episodes in the original season—along with a few extra episodes—this game was a logical port after it made an appearance on the Wii U. No date was given at the time, but Amazon may have accidentally just outed it.
If you check out the game's page over on Amazon, it lists the game for release on June 27th. While there's still a chance that this could be just a placeholder date, it may simply be that Amazon accidentally let the cat out of the bag a little early. Telltale has yet to comment on this, but hopefully it'll be clarified shortly. Also, this is the first time that we've gotten a look at the game's box art, which physical collectors will no doubt appreciate.
What do you think? Will you be picking this up on Switch? Do you like playing Telltale games? Drop us a comment in the section below.

I was surprised at the quality of the writing when I reviewed it last year, and enjoyed it for what it is. I don't know if I'd pay forty bucks for it again, but that's just because this type of game isn't necessarily my thing.
I've passed on both Wii U instalments of Minecraft in anticipation that they would eventually be released on Switch, so this is good news. It would be even better if the Switch versions of both Minecraft and Minecraft: Story Mode launch at retail on the same day.
I will definitely get this on Switch as i never got round to buying it on the other consoles, same goes for Lego City Undercover, looking forward to playing both
Minecraft ain't for me,tried it and ejected. Should do well with many switch owners. I loved the walking dead and The Wolf among us,never got around to playing Game of Thrones though...Edit I know the original Minecraft wasn't a telltale game but if I didn't like that then there's no hope for the story mode,for me anyhow. I would like to checkout the Borderlands they have worked on,that should be ace,absolutely love borderlands original games
I don't care too much about this particular Telltale game, but I'm happy for those who do and I hope other games from them will come, too
Played the first episode on PS4. It's awful. Might pick this up for my Minecraft-obsessed nephew, though.
I wonder if Telltale will physically release The Walking Dead on Nintendo Switch? The first season was fun to play on a portable system, but the Vita kind of choked on it.
Story Mode? Rather gimme that normal Minecraft release date! The Vita version was pretty limited so I do hope the Switch version is similar to the WiiU version at the very least. Can't wait for mobile Minecraft once again!
'...it also happens to be a Tuesday—which is when the eShop updates each week'.
Erm, the eShop updates on a Thursday, guys!
@xxAcesHighxx Lol, fixed!
I love the Telltale games, not very keep on Minecraft though...
Does this game include the "regular" Minecraft as well?
Does anyone have experience with it?
I just want Minecraft for the Switch. I don't care much for this story mode game or whatever. I didn't buy the Wii U version of Minecraft because I'm waiting for it to come to the Switch.
I have played alternatives and cant say I have ever liked it, but maybe if they do some sort of demo I would like to give it a try
@NintySnesMan Just to confirm that Minecraft: Story Mode is pretty much a completely different game to regular Minecraft... this does actually confuse a lot of people. Story Mode is basically an episodic story with quicktime events.
I absolutely adore Minecraft & am an accomplished builder, writer & video creator. Minecraft: Story Mode is not my thing at all. Would make a fun web series, but it's basically the annoying parts of tackier Tomb Raiders (QTEs) with a Minecraft skin holding them together.
@Pod It does not include regular Minecraft. It's kind of like a CYOA novel.
