So I picked up a physical copy of 3D All-Stars, and was wondering if anybody knew for galaxy (or any of the games, for that fact) if the load times were much different on physical than digital. I played some, and the loads were so instantaneous I don't know that it would make a difference, so I wanna know before I dump 60 bucks into getting it digital as well for da speed.

I'm also physical, but I'm really doubting there's going to be any difference.

loads haven't been tested yet but someone will probably soon

The order: Digital version on Switch's internal Gard Drive (Fastest loads) Digital version on a Micro SD card. (2nd fastest option) Physical version. (Slowest)

I believe there's not as much loads I believe as far as load times go.

ALSO REMEMBER if you have BOTH versions digital and physical the DIGITAL will take priority over the physical version. It also makes it basically impossible to downgrade and requires actually deleting your system profile to just use the version in the cart.

IT IS POSSIBLE to use the physical version but requires deleting your save from the system menu to use it when you have BOTH alongside deleting the digital version then having the cart in the system and she downloading the digital version

EVEN in a case like this really only lets you use that version ONCE or twice before the digital version is used again.

even then, unless you are aiming for a WR, physical would work fine. The difference in minuscule compared to Physical vs Digital on Wii/WiiU.

So to clarify, the difference is so miniscule that it shouldn't affect it much? like I know odyssey physical is slower than digital, but odyssey is also a much fancier/newer game so I'm guessing it's different for all-stars.

I haven't played the game yet as my copy of the physical version hasn't arrived yet, and from what I've heard there's not been any really thorough testing on it.

I can however say that the order is correct as far as which is fastest overall for switch games.

I'd ASSUME that since the games are older that there really shouldn't be that big of a difference. As UNLESS digital completely eliminates loads completely which it can't there's probably only a small difference.

At the very least it's 1s faster per load over the original version for Sunshine. As Sunshine runners have compared to the game to the original and I'd assume that's probably on the physical of the game.

Ok, it sounds like there isn't much of a difference, I'll probably wait to buy it and ask this question again in like a month when people have had time to test it out.
