-Wii U to Switch world transfers is something they are working on but not at launch (cool)

-Switch has been very easy to work with

-60fps

-When it releases it will be on par on the January update and will be quickly caught up to the other versions after release.

-Switch (medium on PS4) is about 3072 x 3072.

-Vita / Xbox 360 / PS3 / Wii U are 864 x 864.

-PS4 / Xbox One are 5120 x 5120 (large).

So world sizes are roughly 13x as big as WiiU but not quite as big as PS4.

Glad that they didn't just port over the Wii U version as is, and actually made sure to make the size significantly bigger.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

This is great news! I wasn't expecting it would be the same size as the PS4 version, but's hella a lot better than the Wii U version.

I wonder if it'll be 720p like the Wii U. I was fine with the size of the world on Wii U so this is even better.

OP says 3.5² larger, not 3.5. However 3.5² is a really roundabout way to put it.

that's why i posted it, cuz the 3.5square would be 12.25, nearly 0.4 off, seems like a lil number but that .4 alone would mean 40% bigger than the wii u.
