Mario Kart 8 Deluxe load times video comparison (Switch vs. Wii U – digital and physical)

Posted on April 26, 2017 by (@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos, Wii U

Update: GameXplain has replaced its original video with a new one that includes physical and digital on both platforms. We’ve added that in below.


Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is known to feature faster load times over its Wii U predecessor. We previously shared a video showing that the Switch release is in fact faster than the older version. However, GameXplain has now taken it a step further by showing both the physical and digital versions of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Like most Switch games, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will load the fastest digitally. The physical version is no slouch though, only falling a couple of seconds behind. Both options also beat out Mario Kart 8 on Wii U – especially when it comes to the initial boot.
