GameXplain has uploaded a new video comparing the load times between Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze running on the Switch and on the Wii U. As you might expect, the game seems to be running noticeably faster on the Switch.

It is important to keep in mind that the Switch version of the game is still pre-release. Additionally, loading speeds vary depending on whether a physical or digital copy is being used. The video tests the Switch version against the physical and digital Wii U version.

The video also shows some of the cosmetic, Funky Kong-inspired changes made to the menu. Take a look below:

Update (3/27): The Little Dragons Café Limited Edition is down to $63.99 for Amazon Prime members.


Update (3/24): After selling out for a short while, the Little Dragons Café Limited Edition is back up on Amazon here. Also, Amazon Canada is now taking pre-order for the game here.


Original (3/19): Pre-orders are up for Little Dragons Café on Amazon. You can order the standard edition here. The limited edition is also available here. No word yet on what the limited edition includes, but we should be finding out very soon.

Nintendo

Earlier this month, we reported third-party docks seemed to be bricking Switch systems following the version 5.0.0 firmware update. Nintendo has since addressed the reports, offering a statement to Kotaku:

Nintendo (recommends) that Switch owners only buy officially licensed Switch products . . . Unlicensed products and accessories do not undergo Nintendo’s testing and evaluation process. They might not work at all with our game systems, and they could have compatibility problems with certain games, the Nintendo Switch system itself, and other licensed accessories and peripherals.
