I won't be able to run this for a while, but as we all know, MK8 was way faster if you had the right digital setup. I'm curious if MK8D is the same outcome in terms of load times?

GameXplain has shown in a video that it's the same ordeal with Deluxe. :P Here's the video:

Basically saying, MK8D Digital loads the fastest in-between races by an average of around 4 seconds compared to the cartridge version. Cartridge's still a bit faster than Wii U Digital, but yeah, preferably you'd want the eShop version to save the most time overall.

id probably stay with cartridge because of how i need a small break
