20 Best Device To Play Minecraft (2023 Updated)

Lighter than a 3DS but not at all flimsy, still feels sturdy. The speakers being positioned at the bottom rather than the top does not bother me at all (I have small hands. A person with very big hands might accidentally cover them up while playing.

But the audio is best experienced with headphones anyways). Wish the stylus was a little longer. Comparing the graphics of the 3DS and 2DS side by side, there isn’t much of a difference. The 2DS does not have the 3D feature, but the only game I can think of that actually benefits from that feature is Kid Icarus.

It’s not a feature you’ll miss. I prefer the New 2DS’s matte finish over the 3DS’s glossy finish; fingerprints and smudges don’t show up as easily. I also prefer the New 2DS’s button and screen layout over the 3DS’s.

It’s flat and does not have the 3DS’s beveled edges around the bottom screen, so there are no nooks and crannies for dust to get trapped in. It’s very easy to clean. Games have been running well. Runs both 3DS games and old DS games.

As refurbished products should be, everything is clean and in its original packaging. Overall very happy with this. If you’re shopping for a New 3DS XL and finding them too pricy, absolutely consider getting a New 2DS XL instead if you don’t need the 3D features.

I ordered this 2DS and was very exited, seeing it so clean, new and functional only to have it die on me 4 days later. The DS was light and flimsy but I thought that was just the way it was made and dismissed it.

Later on, while I was playing animal crossing I noticed some of the buttons were late to respond. Later on it just kept bugging out, turning off and showed an error screen. When I tried to turn it off and pressed the power button, the screen went black but the lights indicating wifi and power were still on.

After trying for a while, it still hasnt turned on or completely off. This product was cheap, and unsatisfactory.

Since I already have the 3DS-XL, and the Vanilla 2DS (slab), I decided to buy the New 2DS XL simply because of the price and wanted to have it for collection purposes. Once I saw how light and compact it is, this has actually replaced my New 3DS-XL and has become my main system to enjoy 3DS and old-school 2DS games.

The New 2DS-XL features a black and blue matte finish which I rather like. The system is much thinner this time. The edges are more comfortable to hold for longer, and the top lid is lighter which allows for a more secure hold.

Forget the wabbleness from the 3DS-XL. The buttons and joysticks have slightly been moved but they are still well placed and have a nice tactile and responsive feel to them. The game cartridge and memory card slots now have a cover, which I appreciate since it keeps the bay free of dust.

On the 3DS-XL, the back cover had to be removed in order to get to the memory card, which was very inconvenient. The speakers have been moved to the bottom instead of the top lid. I really do not use them since I’d rather use headphones, but they are not as loud and can cause the system to vibrate while in use.

The screens are slightly dimmer but this is really unnoticeable while playing. The resolution remains the same. Of course, the 3D effect has been removed and, while I miss it quite a bit, I was still able to enjoy titles that heavily rely on that.

Another strange decision from Nintendo was that the stylus is extremely small. I mean, it’s like trying to use a pencil that has been sharpened to 4 times its size -yes, it’s that awkward and uncomfortable.

Good thing I hardly use it. In the end, I still prefer the New 2DS-XL just because of the form factor. It is very light, comfortable to hold and can actually fits in my back pocket easily -making it very portable.

Plus, at the price I was able to get it, I don’t have to worry as much while carrying it around. It is a great value -especially since Nintendo included Mario Kart 7. I’d recommend jumping on it before it is gone forever!.

Bought this for my son, who enjoys Minecraft and also purchased one for myself to give it a go myself. My son complained the plastic pickaxe hurt his hands and quickly grew bored of the product rather quickly.

He borrowed my small hammer and smashed it apart to get the bee character. Despite the easy solution, he was very pleased with his little bee and added it to his collection of minecraft toys on his shelf.

A small problem I found when I was digging out my one was: I scraped/dug at the product for an hour or so until I finally uncovered the feet of the gold plated creeper. I noticed that the plastic pickaxe was leaving scratch marks on the feet, so I also had to break it apart with the hammer.

I am not sure if the creeper was purposely put upside down inside the product, but I count it as lucky as you do not notice the scratch marks while it’s on my shelf. I also found that the way the creeper is, dirt gets stuck inside the crevices of the “legs” and it is relatively difficult to get out.

Overall, I find the product to be at a reasonable price compared to other stores, and other children may remain entertained longer than my son did. The little characters are well made, very cute and rather durable.

It’s just unfortunate about the gold plated creeper being easily damaged while digging it out.

I do not have a problem with the Minecraft products. The page only showed one item when making the select online. When it states “Styles May Vary” it means you will receive what item the store has available at that time.

So let your child understand its going to be a surprise on what one you get. Should read as “Mystery Item” with showing all available items. :).

Bought for my son for Christmas and thought he would find it a fun challenge trying to do it in real life. Bigger than I expected which was good. The little axe it comes with was quite big, but the sandy rock texture of it made it really difficult to ‘mine’ in.

After about 10 minutes of only tiny bits of rock coming off 2 adults helped and it took about 30 minutes to get into the centre and mine out the figure! I get its meant to be challenging, but trying to dig into a rock with a plastic axe was a bit too challenging.

Not to mention sore hands Would have bought more if it was fun but the little figure is just not worth all the effort.

Arrive fast and in perfect condition. My son lives it. Only sad fact is that I order 4-5 items and they came in separate biiiig boxes on different shipments. I would prefer to wait a little and have everything shipped at the same time, in the same box! Please think about reducing your environmental impact Toys R us.

this is an easy change you could make!.

Toys r us wants to me review this product while it’s fresh in my mind. really?! Ordered two weeks ago and still don’t have the item!!! Contacting Toys r us is a waste of time. Want me to contact the store it was shipped from ( I don’t have any idea!), and they want ME to contact the shipping company to see where it is.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! Last purchase I’ll ever make! Hope our grandson gets it for xmas, which is two weeks away.

I really liked this set because it included 2 Villagers which are hard to get in the LEGO minecraft world and it is also rare to get a almost full diamond armor and diamond sword which is awesome! I liked the Village part of the set a ton too because it has the village bell and house so I make it my village in my minecraft world.

I also loved the ravager and how it’s mouth opens like that is just epic! Also love the Pillager Captain and the Vinicator with the set! i would definitely recommend this to a friend! Awesome set! I’d give it the big five star rating! Very nice set!.

In 2021 this version probably isnt worth it if you want it as your main version of Minecraft, but its interesting to have in your collection if you get a good deal. This version came out before the Better Together update was released and is not supported anymore for updates.

The controls are better than I thought though, and its still fun even if its limited by the graphical and technical capabilities of the N3ds. If you want the latest version of Minecraft though, I would definitely get it on mobile if you are looking for an accessibility way to play.

About the game itself, the draw distance is very low which can make it feel a little claustrophobic and makes it difficult to see over a distance. Also there are no infinite worlds. The amount of mobs you can spawn at a time is also limited.

Its still a fun way to play if you want to play an older and unique version of Minecraft, so I rate it 4 stars. You can find a more detailed review if you look this version up online.

I had a good experience buying this game! The case was without dents, scratching, etc, and the game card was good as new! The customer service was also kind and helpful. The game however does has its downsides: – The controls on the switch do take a while to get used to ( as they are more simple on pc), but once you do, it’s a nice experience if you have Nintendo Switch Online! ( you cannot go into servers unless you have the subscription).

My younger sibling took a day or two to enjoy the gameplay with no trouble with the controls ( before this game she had no prior knowledge of the controls) – You cannot upload skins or make your own; you have several options from the Mario Bros skins that they offer.

If you do plan to use them in other servers, the skin will not be visible to other players but yourself. ( Meaning that they will see the default skin) This does state on the game itself, but it’s easy to miss this fact.

Overall, the graphics are nice and the gameplay is smooth except for the small things I have mentioned above!.

My son loves mine craft & the play swords & things they make for pretend play. Usually they’re made out of a thick foam, are just as expensive but because it’s all foam never usually lasts for very long.

But this one has a sturdy thick hard plastic casing over the foam part so I don’t think this one will tear up as easy as the others! And it’s super simple, you just pull up on the top to make it a sword & it locks in place or you give it a good push back down to make it the pic axe.

I for see this being a huge hit for his bday, & actually worth what I paid compared to the other mind craft swords!.

My son will be Steve for Halloween and this along with a mask from Etsy will be perfect. He was thrilled and has played with it every day. There are some foam swords that are cheaper but this has some heavy duty plastic and easily transforms to a pickaxe which my son loves.

I recommend spending the extra couple of bucks. It will hold up well and looks good.

My five year old is minecraft crazy. This is a great addition to his toy box. He love it. Well made too.

My 8 year old was ecstatic to receive this as a gift. Perfect for “battle” for any Minecraft fan. Looked great on arrival but after a days play, all the corners are scuffed. Free courier delivery and arrived within 2 days.

Always had a good experience buying from bargain max. I would recommend. Prices really competitive too.

Gave it an average because it’s not bad. But seems like it wasn’t kept in a proper handled environment there are weird spots on it and the paint at the top is also kinda coming off. Because it was a gift it didn’t look very presentable it only looks good from afar since the spots aren’t visible.

My son loves this pick axe. I love that he couldn’t break it. I had already purchased the diamond sword previously for his Halloween costume so when he wanted a pick axe for Christmas it was a no brainer where to buy it from.

Looks really nice has a good sound effect and lights up! Only thing I wished was there is that it flashed when the sound effect started as if a fuse went off.

We received this a few days ago. My oldest son is a huge Minecraft fan so he was very excited. The launching pieces were easy to assemble and work. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the pieces.

I was expecting them to be much smaller. I like that figurine has some flexibility in its arm movements compared to other types of figurines. The only con to this toy would be the cardboard blocks. I don’t see them lasting long for kids who are hard on toys.

My son loves how you are able to launch Steve in the minecart and have him knock down the boxes. The boxes are cardboard, so I assume they won’t hold up very long, but they are easy to knock down. He tried the minecart about a foot away from the boxes and it knocked them down with no problem.

The packaging looks very nice and the items are easy to remove from the box, which is a plus! This is a good playset and I would recommend it. (I received this item free as part of a promotion. ).

My son is crazy for minecraft. I love (and so does he) that this set does an action. Launching Steve to knock down the boxes. The boxes are paper. Its cool he got to put them together but at the same time how long with they last? The light weight of them though is good for the knocking over bit.

Been having fun seeing what else we can crash steve into. I received this toy in exchange for an honest review.

Every improvement the Switch Lite offers is matched by an equivalent drawback. As most other reviewers have indicated, the cheaper price point comes at the expense of docking ability and the rumble and motion control features of the joy con controllers.

We knew that once the specs were announced. The Switch Lite was supposed to be offer a cheaper entry to the Switch platform aimed at players who are predisposed to use the system in handheld mode. Some of the lost features make perfect sense in this respect a smaller screen size and form factor would necessitate permanently attaching the controllers, and docking ability could be omitted for a system that was designed with handheld use in mind.

Whats surprising about this model is how it solves some problems that plagued the OG Switch and introduces new ones the spec sheet didnt suggestIMPROVEMENTS Better display for handheld mode, simply because a smaller screen features greater pixel density at the same 720p resolution.

Some players think the display panel is of slightly higher quality, but the difference is negligible. Battery life has been slightly improved. The standout improvement, however, has to be in the body build.

The Switch Lite uses a rigid plastic chassis that doesnt squeak or do the banana bend like the regular Switch. The display is mounted inside the chassis too, rather than inserted into a frame like in the original Switch.

Those of us who have had screens start to pop out of the body on the regular Switch will be overjoyed with the design of the Lite, which has a unibody style of construction keeping the screen safely where it should be.

DOWNGRADESThe controls, meaning the actual joysticks and buttons, are flimsy and audibly squeak when used. Those of us worried about joy con drift wont find any comfort in the design of the Switch Lites sticks and buttons.

The left thumbstick squeals when manipulated. The directional pad sits in a cavity noticeably larger than the button itself, making it slide uneasily when pushed. Even the input buttons on the right side feel wiggly, and they dont push into the device as smoothly as right joy con buttons do.

Use the Switch Lite for a day and youll be wondering when the sticks are going to pop off, and how much itll cost for Nintendo to repair it. The speakers are a little on the weak side too, and their placement inevitably leads to users hands muffling them.

And this little guy gets HOT when playing resourceintensive games. The heat vents at the top of the device are smaller too, so the extra heat produced in the console interior has even less of a chance to escape.

Will the Switch Lite eventually melt its own insidesWhen the Lite was announced, all the technical tradeoffs for the lower price and the portable focus felt justified. The OG Switch is kind of uncomfortable in handheld mode, and prolonged handheld use can put a great big ol bend in your Switch if you grip it too tightly.

Gamers who wanted a better portable model had every reason to be excited by the Switch Lite. For the most part, the Lite model succeeds at what it was built to do offer a better on the go Switch experience But the concerns posed by the fragilefeeling buttons and the rapid heatup of the device when in use leave me wondering how long this thing is going to last.

Note to Nintendo please make a Switch model that does not suffer from an alarming hardware problem.

I can’t believe that I waited so long to get a switch. This is AWESOME. Unlike prior handhelds (DS, Gameboy Advance, etc. ) which played stunted, graphically weaker versions of games that bore little resemblance to their console counterparts, this device plays the EXACT same games as its television capable counterpart.

I like the lite version in particular because: 1. Cool color (I love this blue) 2. Better battery life 3. integrated controls with a traditional D-Pad (the separate joycons always “off” to me). At some point I am going to go ahead and pick up a set of joycons (and a separate charger since you can’t charge them using this device) just so that I can take better advantage of motion controls in some games (looking at you “Arms”).

I think it’s very cool that I have this option (the advantage of integrated controls with the option for external if I want them). Memory is somewhat paltry at 32GB. I’m going top have to pick up an SD card to supplement the internal storage.

“Smite” and “Paladins” appear to take up a little less than 20GB each, so I’m thinking that I don’t want to get anything less than 128GB if I’m going to put “Rocket League” and “Fortnite” on this as well.

So far, this has been absolutely great. I strongly recommend this console.

I got this great controller for my apple TV so I can play Sky Force with it. it wasn’t necessary, since the regular remote will do, but still, I wanted it. The remote it robust and seem to be made of high quality plastic.

it’s very comfortable and a joy to use. The only problem I have with it, is the fact that I can’t have continuous fire on it, like I had on the regular apple TV remote. I’ve contacted support twice and they were very nice, but at the end, they didn’t know how to help me.

my improvised solution was to put a piece of folded paper between the R1 and R2 buttons. it looks funny and it’s annoying when I need to end a stage or go back to the main screen, but other than that, it’s ok.

So, to conclude, is it a good controller? yes Is it perfect and flawless? ammm. No. Do I recommend it? I do, but have that folded paper ready :).

The Steel Series Nimbus controller I bought had 3 defects. The first was a ribbon cable, that prevented it from being turned on. The second was left analog stick would cause character to move in a direction you were not pressing.

The third is the A button not working. Luckily problem was not with the battery, because I couldn’t find a single place to buy replacement batteries. I was able to diagnose problems, but I needed to buy a brand new Steel Series Nimbus to isolate problem with the as-is Nimbus controller.

It took swapping parts one by one till I figured out what was causing AS-IS controller to not turn on. Problem was with ribbon cable connection was corroded. Description says controller is not tested, but it had a refurbished sticker on it leading me to believe it was tested.

I feel like I lucked out on the controller. I was able to fix the problem with it turning on and the left analog stick problem. Turning off controller and back on seems to remedy the left analog stick problem.

I still have to take controller apart to see if I can fix A button, but can live without it for now. Would I recommend an AS-IS Nimbus controller? No, save yourself the headache and buy a working used one or a new one.

Other thoughts This is a nice controller but I was not able to test it to its full potential because I do not own any Apple devices. It probably works great on Apple devices, there are a couple of things that are unacceptable.

Compatibility should be better than what it is especially In today’s world. Making devices Apple only is pretty lame and a just a monopolistic practice. I was extremely disappointed that there was no Apple cable included with the controller.

The controller definitely works but was a mistake for us to test. don’t know what this control is worth but for what I could have payed I would say its not worth how much it could be. Again we were not able to test it out all the way because we don’t have apple devices.

We tried pc,ps4, and an android phone.

Oh wow Microsoft has learned, from its once bulky Xbox 360 controllers. The black Xbox One wireless controller fits in your hand easily, and allows far more fun with video games. Thank you Bill Gates and team! First off I love the X buttons position, as this allows for remote turning on, without interfering with the joystick or buttons.

Yes the usual buttons are the same. Yet their build quality, feels far more substantial. I’m not worried about breaking these, and considering what they’ve been handed during Madden and other games, impressive! The yellow y, the orange b, the green a, and blue X are in the circle on the right side.

I like the RB/RT and LB/LT buttons being on the top. That makes gaming a cinch. Far more intuitive. These wireless devices connect every single time. They also have a range of at least twenty feet. As for the batteries, Xbox has improved big time.

No longer will you want rechargeable batteries, which by themselves are a headache. Instead any brand of AA batteries will be fine. I’ve had Rayovac’s from the dollar store in for several weeks now. You will get a low battery warning, but it still hasn’t happened.

By far the best controller in the market, as I wasn’t that impressed with my friends elite I believe they are called. Sticking with this one, as it’s a winner in every way. Responsive and fun!.

I don’t own an Xbox, but I do play PC games from Steam on a Windows 10 PC from time to time. I’m not really a dedicated gamer, so I pretty much need a console style controller. Fortunately, Microsoft makes their Xbox controllers compatible with Windows 10.

I purchased this new model primarily because the older version I had with a micro-USB connection was unreliable – coming loose at inopportune times and finicky when plugging in. That was the only flaw of the previous model, but it was worth an upgrade for me.

Other noticeable differences are the textured grips (slight if unnecessary improvement), a newly styled D-pad (I find no difference), slightly different contour on the top (cosmetic only), and a Share button.

As far as I can tell the Share button serves no purpose for Windows 10 (it appears to be an Xbox feature only, at least for now). I had questions upon ordering this updated controller; after a few hours of play, here are the answers: Yes, this controller is compatible with the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 and all of its features.

Yes, the original Xbox One Play and Charge Kit works with this newer model controller, as do the cheaper 3rd party alternatives. The micro-USB cable that originally came with these kits will not be compatible, so useany USB-C cable you have.

There does not appear to be an available USB-C cable that has a charge indicating light to work with these play & charge kits. Yes, there is a way to determine the controller’s battery level when using on a PC.

With the controller connected to the PC, open the Xbox Accessories app/program (free from the Microsoft store) and find the battery level there. It must be connected wirelessly to read the battery level; it will just say “Plugged in” if using the cable.

Yes, all previous peripherals (except for micro-USB cables) seem to work perfectly with this new controller. And finally, yes, the USB-C connection is wonderful. It’s easy to connect, stable, and responsive.

I like the fact that there is no indicator LED as I often play in the dark.

To start off, this controller is beautiful, and a little hard to find. I already have the phantom white version and love it. My issue is to do with Walmart/GPD and the way this product was marketed as “New.

” This controller came to me in a brown box, wrapped in (big) bubble wrap. No original box, so my best guess is this is technically “open box” or previously bought and returned/rejected. It came with a few minor scuffs, and some of the pieces/panels don’t line up quite right, but these are minor issues with the controller that may adjust with use.

I specifically paid more to avoid the used/opened, but that’s what I got anyways. This price should be marked down. If I was gonna end up with a brown box, I probably would’ve ordered it elsewhere.

This revised model of the Switch comes with a number of features that I honestly can’t fully appreciate as someone who didn’t own the previous model. The big thing that drew me in was the extended battery life, even though so far I haven’t played much in handheld mode and not at all in tabletop, but they use the same amount of battery either way I would imagine.

The reason I’m giving this system five stars probably say more about how good it is than anything else. But I pretty much expected as much. I’m sure by now you can go online and find more detailed reviews for the gaming system, but in case you’re wondering here, this one comes with the system, two gray joycons, two attachments to turn each joycon into its own controller, a base to connect both joycons into the formation of a singular controller, the required cables, and the Switch dock.

So you’ll probably want to buy a few things alongside this such as an SD card for reasonable storage space, a pro controller for a more standard controller experience, maybe a dock sleeve to prevent the possibility of scratching the screen from insertion and ejection of the system, an online pass if you plan to play any games with online features.

just basically a lot of things that would be nice if they came with the system itself. This will inflate the price further, but the thing here is that this is going to replace the old models of the Switch and simply make this the main one manufactured now.

So. basically, if you want a cheaper Switch you’ll want to get a Switch Lite and this one will still cost about 300 bucks like the 2. 5+ year-old original variant still costs. That is, unless you want to go used.

I’m only bringing up these points because while this is a great system, I do think you should be aware of what is likely to happen with prices and availability going forward and plan accordingly. Once I realize a Switch was still going to cost the same if I wanted the ability to do on and off TV play I decided I might as well just hop on board with this newer variant.

I’d recommend you do the same as it has had tweaks to make it just a slightly better version all around than the previous model. Otherwise, if price is a concern, wait for the Switch Lite and see how it tickles your fancy.

Also, here’s tip. If you want to turn the system off as opposed to leaving it in sleep mode, simply hold down the power button on the system for a few seconds and then a menu will appear with the option to restart or shut down.

Also note that you cannot play on the TV off of the Switch’s battery power. The dock needs to be plugged in for the dock to function. I hope something in here was helpful.

I have a PC that I game from it which is why I don’t buy home videogame consoles for so long, but I did buy some portable videogame consoles, obviously from Nintendo because they got the largest share in those types of consoles so more support, having the Nintendo DS & Nintendo 3DS.

Unfortunately, the former was broken in two after extensive uses while the latter have its battery life shortened so much that it’s unplayable without being charged. So, I bought a Nintendo Switch. I like how you can play it in TV, Tabletop & Portable modes.

I like that the Joy-cons can be detached to the console and if they break you just have to replace those parts instead of replacing your whole consoles like the Nintendo DS & 3DS. It’s pretty powerful, more powerful than a Playstation 3 but less powerful than a Playstation 4, although its hardware specs are mostly shared from the smartphones & tablets at the time of its release.

I like their games and their most popular titles are made by Nintendo themselves, but for third-party developers, it can be difficult for their titles to achieve the same level of popularity unlike the Playstation & XBox consoles.

Unfortunately, those 2 competing videogame consoles aren’t portable at all, so it’s an opportunity for the 3rd party developers to take advantage of the portability of the Switch along with the motions from the Joy-cons.

Overall, this is a great console with flexible ways to play. It might be underpowered compared to its competitors and the current smartphones & tablets but as long you like their games and how fun they are, it doesn’t really matter.

It’s also very family friendly console, thanks to its motions from the Joy-cons.

I’ve owned my Nintendo Switch for three years, the games supplied for the Nintendo Switch never disappoint. The games are fun and interactive while also being able to be played with friends and family, this console and its games have brought much joy to nights in with friends and family.

My friends and I find ourselves playing the Nintendo Switch for hours when we hang out and my family has game nights once a week where we like to enjoy Mario Party, Mario Kart, and other multiplayer games made for this console.

The Nintendo Switch allows me to play old school games that I once enjoyed as a child, which bring nostalgic feelings. This console can last and be added onto by buying joy-cons and attachments for each game, the biggest pro for this console is the fact that it can be played alone or with others.

Enjoying the new and old games on this console with friends and family is always a good time, when the Nintendo Switch is brought up everyone involved is ready to indulge in all the great selections they have for the console.

One downfall for this system is that not all games from the past are yet available for the public to play, Nintendo slowly releases games for this console old and new. The only perk I could think of to fix this minor issue is having all old school games released when the Nintendo Switch was first released, this would allow more games to play that were once played by adults when they were children.

I recommend this console to anyone who enjoys Nintendo games, it can bring a night together easily with friends and family. This console is very kid-friendly and also has a huge adult fan base, all games can be enjoyed by any age group and allow individuals to play the games they enjoy together.

This game is a win on so many levels for young kids and families! It fosters creativity, problem solving, spatial orientation, planning and preparation and even simple math and reading. We have 4 sons ages 2-13.

The toddler isn’t quite old enough yet but still likes to see what his big brothers build. The older ones play in creative mode to experiment with various builds, as well as survival mode which challenges them to use resources to overcome obstacles.

Mom and Dad even get in on the action as the screen can be split with multiple players, and Dad at our house is an IT professional who set up a private server that allows us to play across platforms via emulators.

We use Minecraft as a reward for chores and good behavior and do a lot of family “missions” and crafting time after dinner. Of course, kids are going to love the March that comes with the fandom (t-shirts, toys, Lego sets) but it’s a unique and creative fandom, so we grownups don’t mind.

The updates released periodically always have something new to look forward to. I could take off half a star maybe for the periodic glitches associated with them, but these issues are relatively minor and to be expected with any similar product.

This game is totally worth the investment if you’re looking for family-friendly fun, or a digital creative outlet full of challenges and go-at-your-own-pace feel.

I am not the one who can give an honest review, but my children can. They love everything Minecraft. They are obsessed with this game and take it very seriously. As a parent, I have to say I approve.

My children have learned a lot. It forced my youngest to read because she had to read the words on the screen to get her supplies together. So her reading skills grew drastically from there. My oldest son uses math skills while playing and is in the 5th grade and they are putting him in a 6th grade math class.

I hate playing that game with a passion, but it really benefits kids! It is costing me money though!.

You can shoot up to three darts at a time with this Nerf Minecraft Pillager’s Crossbow quite accurately. Works well whether you’re setting up targets or playing a game with others. Easy enough to use.

You load up the darts, pull a lever back and press the button. The darts are made of foam so you don’t have to worry about injury or damaging items. The crossbow itself is very durable and looks amazing, just like it came out of the Minecraft digital world!.

My Minecraft obsessed 6 year old lost this mind when he saw this! It is just about the coolest thing to ever come into our house. He plays with it every single day. He does wish it would hold more than only 3 darts at a time, but he doesn’t mind reloading it.

Makes it more realistic. It is a little hard to pull back for him as it is quite large. He manages just fine. My 3 year old is unable to pull it back to lord it by himself. Overall we love this toy!.

I got this about a month ago for my 8 year old who loves Minecraft and Nerf. These are two of his favorite things combined. It was extremely easy to set up out of the box and easy to operate. It shoots one dart at a time and comes with 3 darts total.

This has found its way into our family nerf wars and it does not disappoint. It shoots a good distance and has some oomph behind it. Totally recommend for all nerf and minecraft lovers!.

This is our review of the Minecraft Ultimate Bow and Arrow with Lights & Sounds by Mattel. My son was super excited to open this one. As a big Minecraft fan, he enjoys playing Minecraft both inside the game and out.

His other Minecraft toys (sword and pick axe), do not have any sounds, so this is an upgrade for him. The size works well with his other toys and the bow is surprisingly easy and comfortable to fire.

He says he gives it 5 stars, no cons at all! As a parent I will say this toy is well made. The “string” is a sponge like foam that appears to be well made. There is a track (in the stock of the bow) that is made of 2 wheels that you load the arrow through.

It seems to keep the arrow in place nicely. The tip of the arrow is a firm foam material. Hard enough to keep its shape, but soft enough to not hurt should it hit someone. The sounds are great. from the sound of pulling back the bow to it firing is very good.

It also plays sounds when it hits its “target”. The sounds we observed were: striking a target or tree, TNT, Enderman and Zombie. The sounds appear to be random. While there is no volume control, the volume wasn’t something that was obnoxiously high, if anything I would say right where it should be.

The arrow doesn’t travel very fast. A good speed given the type of toy it is. We consistently had the arrow traveling 10-20 feet (in the house). Pros: Well made, fun, sounds are great, scales well to other Minecraft toys we already own.

Cons: While the item name on the websites say “Lights & Sounds”, there is no Lights to this weapon, so its misleading. We only saw “sounds” on the packaging, so this seems to only be a issue with the name used on retail websites.

I don’t see where any lights would be used, so it doesn’t take away from the toy. The only other con we see is the battery requirement. Three LR44 (round) batteries are required. I would have rather AA or AAA batteries for this type of toy.

We always have those laying around the house, but the round batteries will require a trip to the store when they run out. The bow comes with batteries, we will see how long they last. All in all this is a great toy with realistic sounds from the game.

Any minecraft fan will enjoy this.

Received from Mattel in exchange for an honest review. Packaged well, mostly using cardboard (recyclable), but some use of plastic to hold it in place. Solidly built toy bow and arrow. Looks just like the bow and arrow used in the video game.

Makes sounds as you draw back the bow, and again when you release the arrow. Safe foam tipped bow, and drawstring also make of a foam type material. Feels like it will last. The plastic frame of the bow is a bit uncomfortable to hold with prolonged use, due to the squared moulded design.

Designed to be used to shoot down Minecraft figures (sold separately) but my kids just had fun running around the house aiming at each other! Straight forward and easy to use – my kids are 9 and 3.

My girls LOVE Minecraft and this bow doesn’t disappoint. They love that it makes sounds like you’re shooting mobs in the game. We didn’t realize it had the sound effects, so that was an awesome surprise! My only negatives would be the “string” gets twisted sometimes because of it’s shape, but it’s easy to put back.

The arrow head is pretty solid, so it can hurt if you get hit close range. I was surprised at how far the arrow actually shot. My husband and I also took turns shooting it, so it was fun for the whole family! We don’t play Minecraft, but it was easy to nock the arrow and send it flying across the room.

I have a specific application that necessitated a monitor like the Duex Pro. I normally work in an office and have two monitors hooked up to my laptop (total of three monitors) that allow me to work three screens at once.

I will be working from home for a while, and could not see myself doing the detailed work I do without additional monitors. But my apartment is particularly small, without much space for traditional, additional monitors.

Enter MobilePixels Duex Pro Portable Monitors. I bought two monitors – one to place on the right side of my laptop monitor and one for the left side. Every easy to set up. As the instructions indicate, all you need to do is affix the included adhesive-backed metal discs to the lid of your laptop.

It only takes four discs, but they must be placed according to instructions and you should wait around three hours before use to let them more strongly adhere to your laptop. Once the four discs are secure, set up the first Duex Pro Monitor as instructed, with the monitor sliding out to the right of the laptop.

You will need to download and install the monitor’s driver. The instructions indicate that you need Admin access to install, but I didn’t find that to be an obstacle. I just downloaded and installed without switching to Admin without any problem.

When you plus in the monitor to your laptop’s USB-A or USB-C outlet, the monitor will flash on, then off, and will finally power up within a minute. At that point, you can configure your view within your laptop’s display options as explained in the enclosed instruction book.

This entire process took only a few seconds!For the second monitor, I wasn’t completely sure how to attach it. I spoke with Jack at MobilePixels Support, and found out that it was embarrassingly easy: just place the second Duex Pro Monitor stacked over the first one (see second picture), but with the monitor sliding out to the left of the laptop! Because of the extraordinarily strong magnets, the second monitor held as securely as the first.

Since you’ve already downloaded the driver from the first, all you need to do is go to your laptop’s Display settings to enable the second monitor. One point of clarification – the second monitor started out displaying as upside-down for me.

Easy fix for PCs:1. Right-click on your screen and select Display settings. 2. Select the left-hand (upside down) screen in Multiple Displays. 3. Select “Landscape (flipped)” from the drop-down box: Display orientation.

4. Confirm that the display appears as desired, then select “Keep Settings”As you can see from my first picture, the two monitors work exactly as desired. I can easily drag files and tabs to and from any screen.

The image quality is very good! Each monitor is very light weight and stacked together they are still light enough not to interfere with my work routine. Both monitors (together) should easily fit in my work bag, although to be fair my case is not small.

Overall, the monitors work very well, provide great visual clarity and due to their portability provide exactly the flexibility that I was looking for to work in a small space, whether on the road or at home.

This is a great, sturdy axe. My kids have already swung it around multiple times, and it is holding strong. My kids all love Minecraft so I got this to double as room decor when they’re not playing with it.

It hasn’t spent much time on the wall yet because one of them is always grabbing it, but it is an awesome decoration too. It has survived being dropped and tossed several times with no problems yet. Very well made.

My kids love the purple too.
