Wow 1.6GB for such a stunning big game,Nintendo rule at this stuff but I'm sure Havok nextgen compression tech had something to do with them graphics wow,because without compression this game could be easy 10GB or alot more...

FriedGoat3839d ago (Edited 3839d ago )

This game is most likely lacking content, just like the 3DS version. Compare it to Super Mario 64 DS it's like 10X shorter.

mohuzas3839d ago

hunderds of levels = 10x shorter than Mario 64. mkay.

RobbyGrob3839d ago (Edited 3839d ago )

It wouldn't surprise me if they would be rather short and generic levels. I would love to play new levels in style with the excellent ones in Mario World for the SNES, but i bet i'm dreaming there. The Mario Galaxy games also had shitloads of levels, but only of few of them were truly good while most of them could be finished in five minutes with very little effort.

thepatientgamer3839d ago

Don't know what you're saying bro. Super Mario 3D Land was huge.

WiiUsauce3839d ago

Did you even play the 3DS version??? I spent 60+ hours in that game.

FriedGoat3839d ago

60 hours? What the hell were you doing? I got all star coins in under 10 hours. These "hundreds" of levels are short as hell mostly 1-2 minutes long.

Nintendo isn't like others that try to make high resolution textures, real shadow effects, real lightning effects, real reality effects and stuff like that :P these consume lots of space. Think of it: is just mario HD. The fun is in the game, not the graphics

BullyMangler3839d ago

Nintendos been doing this since early 2000 . .

and have you even seen Super mario world? the metallics actually reflect the environment . etc etc etc

Gemmol3839d ago

wrong, they use compression, look at all the money they put into compression before the 3ds came out, they basically use same technology for the Wii U

Thepcz3839d ago

...or maybe its just a small game

from what i have seen its hardly full of sprawling landscapes as far as the eye can see.. or high res textures and high polygonal objects.

just floating objects in an empty space, with flat shaded/simple textures, basic 3d models. hardly going to take up space.

the music is probably what uses most of that space

FriedGoat3839d ago

Lol this thread is so full of Blind Nintendo fans, what you said is true yet all you get is disagrees. Compared to mario 64, and the galaxies 3D land was a short disappointment.

triforce793839d ago (Edited 3839d ago )

This is proper NEXTGEN graphics,looking at it imagine how much system RAM a pc version would need I'd say 4GB/6GB easy,this is pure proof with 2GB of RAM and compression x10 system RAM is not that important anymore.

ChickeyCantor3839d ago

For crying out loud. Stop talking like a 5 year old.

WilliamH3839d ago

What 5 year old knows what RAM is. GAWD

ChickeyCantor3839d ago

@WilliamH

Exactly, he pretends to know how RAM affects the system. He is rambling on about stuff he just read about but doesn't understand.

He is just throwing around technical terms.
Just like a child would do.

TomahawkX3839d ago

I will buy a wii u eventually for this game, bayonetta 2, SSB, and X.

mcstorm3839d ago

Nintendo showing its not all about filling 50GB disks cant wait to get this game at the end of the Month.

GirlOnFire3839d ago (Edited 3839d ago )

Impressive Nintendo I'll be getting Wii U again in December along with this and Zelda WW HD. ^~^

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno9d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
