It’s not perfect science, but there’s no question that Zelda will load more quickly on Switch. Producer Eiji Aonuma has already confirmed that information.

Rumor: Nintendo rep says Zelda: Breath of the Wild will have dual audio voices
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch, Wii U | 87 Comments
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild may have dual audio voices. After speaking with a French Nintendo representative, one person was told that all copies will provide the option to use Japanese voice acting instead of the game’s native language. Since this isn’t confirmed by Nintendo officially, take this news with a grain of salt for now.

No new race tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 163 Comments
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features additional content over the Wii U release. But those hoping that the game will include new race tracks will be disappointed to hear that the amount remains the same.
During a stage show at Nintendo Switch Experience 2017, Nintendo confirmed that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe contains 48 tracks. That’s the same amount as the Wii U version (with the DLC courses included).
As far as what’s new, Nintendo revamped Mario Kart 8’s Battle Mode, and the game also features some new characters and vehicles. There’s also a new Smart Steering feature to make driving and staying on the track easy for novice players, returning items from past entries, and the ability to carry two items at once.
