Getting physical regardless. Also, is this Nintendo's biggest game yet?

Nope, Tropical Freeze was 11GB.

Hell, there are Wii games bigger than this. (Xenoblade, Metroid Other M, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Smash Bros Brawl)

In most cases, it comes down to how much time/resources they invest in data compression (which seems a high priority for Nintendo).

In others, there are things that add a lot of data.

Brawl and Other M had a lot of cutscenes that added a lot of fluff.

Xenoblade had huge worlds.

I know.

I'm just saying, 4.9GB is actually relatively small.
