Whoa, really??? That's surprising considering Splatoon 2 and 3 are playing on the exact same hardware. Seems like Nintendo has continually optimizing their in-house engine to run as good as possible on Switch. Makes me wonder if Breath of the Wild 2 may get the same benefits! Because I do remember BotW getting an update post launch that shaved a few seconds off of load times.

Really looking forward to Splatoon 3! I'll be checking out the demo tonight.

How surprising is it really. Splatoon 2 released during the launch window of a new console. Graphical improvement were bound to happen when it's been these teams have been working with the hardware for a few years now. 

We're at the point in the Switch lifetime where every team under Nintendo's umbrella are able to push the hardware to it's or far beyond if you wanna look at games like Xenoblade 3, Luigi's Mansion 3, etc ... 

Oh for sure, but I was more referring to loading times specifically. Most of the time the speed of loading times is tied to the speed of your storage, but that of course is unchanged. So the fact that Splatoon 3 is seemingly both loading faster and better looking graphically while also being just a larger game in general than Splatoon 2 while running on the same hardware is impressive.
