The Battle Cats Unite!/Version Differences

This subpage is dedicated to find differences specifically with the Nintendo Switch version and comparing content with the mobile and Nintendo 3DS port.
== Mobile ==
The Battle Cats Unite! on release was based on an older version of The Battle Cats, presumably Version 6.10, with some additional content from future builds of the mobile version. However, there are many key features that may have been removed, changed, or missing.
<tabber>
Missing/Outdated Content=
===Key Features===
*Numerous core game features are absent in this game. This is most likely due to a change of what content is offered or possible limitations to the Nintendo Switch hardware. The following features are not present in the Switch Version:
