Super Mario Bros. for the NES is only 31.29 KB.
Yet that game provided endless fun & is STILL fun today 28 years later.

It's not in the amount of file size.
It's in the amount of FUN size that counts.

That 1.7 GB is plenty enough.
Nintendo is the master of making things efficient & non-wasteful.
Super Mario 3D World will be amazing fun! I can just taste it!

Well yes, but how can you quantify the amount of fun? It is not logical. I guess the reuse of assets and no cutscenes is the answer.
