... I don't see any differences, unless you're talking about the indent?

Yeah the cases have different indents to open them. Really minor but an odd thing to have. You'd think they would make all switch cases the same, it's not like they are using a standard DVD or Blu-ray case.

I would say that is likely the cause for the difference.  With a more standard case, production is more widely available and already standardized.  With a new, custom design they likely had to assemble the production lines from mostly scratch and likely have multiple suppliers to cover early demand.  As time goes on, standardization will set in.

Loading times comparison between cartridge, microsd and internal storage.

Game card (top left)
SanDisk Extreme microSD (top right)
SanDisk Extreme Pro microSD (bottom left)
Internal storage (bottom right)

Video don' work, but searched google and read results.

Sounds like internal is slightly faster than the other three which are practically identical. But for the most part they are all negligable differences.

Glad to hear. I was slightly worried that the physical carts would be faster than digital, and I am going digital.

Seeing as internal is teh fastest, not by much, I'll probably keep my current game on internal and use teh SD as storage. You know like whatever I'm playing the most put on the system, and the rest on sd card. Not that I need to worry right now anyway. Only have Zelda and thus internals are large enough. I have a 256 gb card sitting in the packaging still. Haven't bothered opening it yet an dputting it in the switch.

Yeah, just did a quick post and forgot to make a comment. The differences are marginal, but do note that they use fast microSD cards with read speeds up to 90MB/S and 275MB/s for the Pro. I think a normal Samsung EVO is half the non-pro card tested.

The card I have is read speeds of 90 or 95. Can't recall. So shoudl be negligable to me when I finally have enough games that I start using it.

I guess Neo Geo kicked off the virtual counsol on the switch. A bunch of Neo Geo's "ACA" games just went up on the eShop.

Could have been better, but it's a decent score for a Mario sport game.

Rime prices were just announced, and for some strange reason it is 10 dollars more expensive on the Switch.

If this game dosent end up selling well on the Switch, I really hope that the developer dosent come with the "The audience just isnt there" excuse.

Indeed, it's really annoying when something like this happens

Hopefully they will lower the price to at least match XOne and PS4 versions.. D:

Yeeeeeah that's an astonishingly boneheaded move.  Especially when it isn't getting a simultaneous release, I mean what the cap?

Their official statement:

“We set prices for our products based on the costs of development and publishing for each specific platform. I can confirm cost of manufacturing is also a factor, in addition to the statement below about development and publishing costs.”

Yeah, not buying that.  If the costs were that high, why are they the only game I know of that is getting this treatment where the launch price is higher?  I agree with what another user said: they are just hoping to turn higher profits per sale to make up for what they have already decided on their own will be weaker sales, which will end up completely ruining any sales potential this game ever had.
