Switch 2 Loading Speed Test: SD Express vs. Internal Storage vs. Game Card

Huh, didn't really expect the actually cart to be the slowest of the bunch. But I guess it kind of makes sense when you think about it.

Does this also affect how Switch (1) games perform on the system? Like, if I have the game on a physical Switch (1) cartridge loading times will be capped by the actual cartridge? But if I have the same game digital the Switch 2 will be able to speed things up?

highly likely.

I need someone to test Deadly Premonition 2 on the internal storage, because that game has severe streaming stutters on cart.

the Switch 2 pushes indoor segments to 60fps (the game barely hit 30fps usually, with outdoor segments being below 20fps), but outdoors, on my cart version, it's still an absolute mess of constant stutters the moment you do anything in the open world.

8 seconds more for the game cart. What in the world will I do having to wait for those 8 seconds.

This was the same problem Switch 1 had BTW

It seems worse on Switch 2 than 1 though. If you are still buying games on cartridges, Nintendo hates you personally and wants you to know it
