Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

888 MB is significantly less than a Gamecube game, Baby Luigi.

To be fair, a GameCube disc holds up to 1.35 GB, and as far as I know, Super Smash Bros. Melee is the only GameCube title that I can think of, which uses more memory than Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash.

A PS1/Sega Saturn game could hold this much data. Even a PlayStation 2 Format CD-ROM game holds this much.

This is bollocks

That's still a significant 30% less storage, and since I've toyed with emulators before, 888 MB is kind of petty for a Gamecube game, much less a Wii U game. Not sure how memory plays here, but Melee was developed in 6 months, so there.

888 MB. Wow, this game looks rushed. It's like spending more data on models than other content we all want.

Tales of Symphonia comes on 2 discs.

Tales of Symphonia comes on 2 discs.

Now that I think about it, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus also had 2 GameCube discs, which meant that its contents were too large to be placed onto a single GameCube disc.

Or it was very poorly compressed.

 

[freakworld]

Yeah more games should take Resident Evil 2 for N64 as an example for excellent compressing.

They've somehow managed to get the game down from 2 PS1 discs to one N64 Cartridge.

Also the Metroid Prime Trilogy which is like, 2 Gamcube Games and a full Wii Game on one Wii Disc.

 

[Magikrazy]

Don't forget Pokémon Gold and Silver on the Game Boy Color.

They were able to fit the entire Kanto region from the first game.

rip iwata

 

[freakworld]

Was gonna put that at first but idk, I feel like the ps1 -> n64 shift is more impressive.

A dual-layered Wii disc holds up to 7.92 GB, which adds to this.

Anyway, like I've said already, the amount of memory that Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash uses is quite a downer when even New Super Mario Bros. U uses more memory on the Wii U's hard drive.
