While it wouldn't (necessarily) be obvious, the Wii U game probably has textures that are several times the size of the Wii game to ensure that the game looks crisp at 720p. |
no the difference isn't be that big between the textures. Probably 512x512 for the Wii version and now 1024x1024.
That wouldn't raise the size to 5 times more than the Wii version. Besides the game doesn't consist of only textures, which means that the raw texture size (in bytes) would need to be even more than 5 times to really make sense.
It's likely something else as well, but I just don't see the big gap from NSMBWii and NSMBU
