In Argentina & Uruguay, the imperative form is also different:

(tú) ven = (vos) vení
etc....
It's the same way in Nicaragua, too. I found it remarkable that the vos imperatives were so regular: remove the final -r from the infinitive and maintain the tonic accent on the last syllable. The only problem verb is ir/irse, which by the rule would be *i or *ite. When I was living in Nicaragua everyone said andá and andate instead.
