Train wreck said: From a cost standpoint, SE makes the most money... Digital > Disc > Cartridge, so making the least amount of cartridges means the most bang for their buck. The game itself had a very limited budget and I am sure SE was not willing to break the bank on media production. Any more than that would be looking at it from a fanboy prescriptive (Prior gaming arrangements, SE shipment/publishing aggrements, the Nin/Sq relationship in the SNES days, etc) |
If the file size is under 8 gigs, there's no cost difference between disc and cart. If it's under 6 gigs, it starts to be cheaper than disc.
