Download sizes for New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land Revealed
Nintendo Japan has updated its pages for New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land with lots of new details including how many gigabytes they’ll not only take to download but also how much it’ll fill up your Wii U.
It’s good news though, both Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros U are both much smaller than Tekken Tag Tournament 2 which weighs in at 17GB.
Nintendo Land will be in comparison a mere 3.2GB, New Super Mario Bros U is even smaller at 2GB. That means both titles could easily fit on a 8GB Basic Wii U.
While the Nintendo 3DS still only has a small selection of third party titles available on the eShop, it seems in Japan at least, the Wii U will have a bunch more titles including ZombiU, Assassin’s Creed III, Ninja Gaiden 3, and of course Tekken. Nintendo Japan’s website has a helpful search function to find out all the digital download titles.
I honestly missed this bit of info, I didn’t know retail titles could be downloaded from day dot.
Thank you sir.
Any word on prices? I know Namco have said Tekken will be cheaper on eShop than retail (overseas), but I wonder if that will be the same here.
If the prices are anything like 3DS eshop prices for Nintendo games, I don’t know why anyone would buy them digital.
Not at all surprised by those figures. New Super Mario Bros. U looks like it could easily have been playable on the original Wii (minus the gamepad functionality), and from what I’ve played of Nintendo Land, I actually thought it would have been around 1GB. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re stored on 4.7GB discs as opposed to the 25GB discs that are being reserved for larger Wii U titles.
