The one that is released currently is known as the "Console Edition", that originally released on the Xbox 360, and has since been ported to many other platforms e.g. the switch. This version is getting more outdated as the days go by and was recently announced to be being discontinued. The second version is known as the "Bedrock Edition", that originally released on Mobile. It is a version of the game that has many upgrades to the console edition, for example: servers and cross platform play. It has been ported to Windows 10, Xbox One, and now the Switch.
If you wanted to buy Minecraft on the Switch, then I would do it before the new version releases because you would get to have the old Console Edition, and the new Bedrock Edition (which people with the previous version get free).

Its on the e-shop. Just search "minecraft" and you'll find just "minecraft" and "minecraft: nintendo switch edition"
There is the version which is currently released, and the new updated version coming out tomorrow. The new version is also coming out in stores the same day.
Read my post above for more info.

If you don't have the old one, get the new one.

Wait... WHAT?
If you did that, you would only get the new version. Buying the old one now gets you two versions of the game, one of which being a free extra.

one of many sources
This is the best reply thus far in this thread. He's right on the money. Can't really add much more than this. If nothing else, would you disagree about Minecraft with someone who likes enough to use it as their screen name? Gives this guy or girl a cook (like)
I dont play it as much as I used too.
My name change request was also rejected....
This is just an old name of mine. Dont use it often anymore.
Yes it does.
Its your last chance to grab both versions.

Um, I searched for Minecraft on eShop. I see "Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition", and "Minecraft". Which one do I want so I get the new version for free?

@ x65943:
If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction -

You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
