New update for Minecraft will be out on Switch and Wii U tonight

A brand new update for Minecraft will be arriving on Nintendo Switch and Wii U tonight. This update is different from the “Closer Together” update Microsoft and Mojang announced at E3, which adds cross play and Super Duper Graphics.

  • Added Llamas, new mobs that can be tamed and ridden, and will form caravans when led.
  • Added Parrots. Try letting them ride your shoulder, but be careful what you feed them!
  • Added Woodland Mansions, and the mobs that inhabit them: Vindicators, Evokers, and the annoying Vexes that they summon.
