Whats the difference between this and the already released nintendo switch edition?

1) This is the "Bedrock" version of Minecraft which used to be referred to as the "Pocket Edition." It can play online cross-platform with any other Bedrock version (X-Box, Windows 10, etc.) but cannot cross-play with the "Java" version of Minecraft, which is the default/original/primary PC version. 2) There are no mini-games. There is a store where you can buy worlds, textures, and the like but default Player-VS-Player and Glider modes have been removed. 3) The graphics are slightly updated. 4) I'm not sure how Redstone functions between the two. There's an odd difference between the "Java" edition and the "Bedrock" edition for redstone but I don't know how that transitions to the original Switch only edition.

Is this pre ordered of the game for a physical copy

Yes, it's also an updated version known as "Bedrock" or "Better Together" with cross-platform functionality.

Can you play split screen or with the 2 different screens (the tablet screen and TV screen)?

You can play with up to 4 players on 1 TV. You just need a set of joycons/1 controller per person

Incredible, refreshed content, but a few things to consider

I have to word this carefully as reviews are cancelled if you mention certain words or topics. The pictures are: - 14 chunk draw distance - Switch - 22 chunk draw distance - Other systems - 8 chunk draw distance - Switch split screen Some people complain about the performance on the Switch. I have ZERO problems. My son and I play it on a multitude of systems. The Switch loads quickly and builds worlds fast. The loading of the world around you can have a delay and using the + / START menu hit will cause a stutter in gameplay for a moment. ALL systems do that. As for the delay of loading the eorld around you, it is mostly in split screen mode. That makes sense. The system is running two entirely different executions simultaneously. I give this game 5/5 stars. The Mario mashup pack is worth 1/2 the sticker price of the game as it is. A lot of fun and hogh quality content.
