A while back, the actual size of some 3DS games (in terms of MB and GB) was officially released by Nintendo Gamer. Using this info plus what I've found on a variety of websites, I've made a list of 3DS games arranged by their size in GB. I thought that maybe it would provoke some interesting conversation.

Note: The exact size of games varies from region to region. Therefore, information below is almost certainly not 100% correct where you live.

My observations: Depending on the games you buy, the 2/4 GB card that comes with the 3DS could either fill up pretty quickly or could always remain sufficent. A behemoth like MGS3 is simply too big for the typical 2 GB card, but the various Mario games could all squeeze in together.

Also, some odd size comparisons.

Star Fox 64 3D > Ocarina of Time 3D = Cave Story 3D

Order Up!! = Super Mario 3D Land

Mighty Switch Force > Rayman Origins

Lets Golf 3D > Pilotwings Resort

The Amazing Spider-Man = Pushmo times 81
