– Both versions of the game offer the same content.
– On a TV, the Nintendo Switch version of the game renders in 900p while the Wii U version renders in 720p.

– The physical copy of the Wii U version will require 3GB of available memory on the Wii U system or an external drive.
– Some icons, such as onscreen buttons, differ between the two versions.
