Recently in the Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft there has been a very annoying bug. It's basically a very long time until i can actually see the main menu. in my testing it has taken roughly 30 - 45 minutes each time the game is loaded. What usually would happen before the bug is it would spend about 1 - 2 minutes on a black screen and 3 - 4 minutes on the Mojang studios screen. But now its been taking 10 - 12 minutes on a black screen and 20 - 30 minutes on the Mojang studios screen.
How to re-create
Load Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch
Wait
I've talked to some of my friend who have the same version I do and it seems it only happens on an older Nintendo Switch. The bug started about a day ago (Oct 26) for no particular reason. It worked just fine days prior. Also to top it off, Joining realms, worlds, servers, opening the marketplace or settings menu take significantly longer. I hope this is resolved soon as I'm certain this is happening to others as well. Have a nice day!

Ive had this issue on my switch for 3 years. I havent been able to play at all in months

I’ve also encountered this! I haven’t been able to play in months because I simply can’t wait 30 minutes for minecraft to boot up. I believe it is something to do with the storage of the game capping at 2GB and even if you delete stuff, it still stays at 2GB which completely breaks the game. This has to be fixed!

Can confirm. The problem seems to be the local save file. It only keeps growing in size over time until the 2GB limit is reached. There is currently no way to shrink the save file on switch. We also reported this big several times, nothing happened except the reports getting closed.
Thank you for your report!
