I was really interested in buying this game on the Switch. However, the lack of a two player mode online and the awful loading times on this platform are huge let downs to me.

If somehow the add the two player online and reduce the loading times via patches, I'll buy it right away. For now, it will stay on the store...

I didn't know the Switch had such slow loading times on this game. I saw people complaining about loading times and just thought they were overreacting a bit, it's not really fast but it's not THAT bad either (On PS4). But then I just saw a video on youtube.

Loading Sewer Speedway on PS4: ~20 Seconds
Loading Sewer Speedway on Switch: ~50 Seconds.

What the hell? Not only is the game file size smaller on Switch so it has less data to load, it's also on a cartridge, so should be faster than HDD? My only guess is that it's due to compression to get the file size down, and the CPU is having to uncompress the data as it's loaded into ram.

Over double the time to load is crazy. Switch version graphically looks fine, but due to these load times it's not a good port. Needs fixing.

I saw that video the day after the game launched. Was gonna buy it for both ps4 and switch but I avoided switch version because of the load times.
