For reference, this makes Metroid Prime 4: Beyond the largest first-party release on NS1. Nearly double the second largest (TotK — 16GB). I fully expect this game to be no less than a 90OC. I am so excited for this!

Whoa, beats out Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U as the largest Nintendo release ever too. (That one was 23GB)

Probably a combination of more texture detail and variety than most other Nintendo games, more VA, and from the looks of things some pre-rendered videos.

I wonder if the Switch 2 version being a bit bigger is due to higher res assets.

I'm more surprised the increase isn't too significant considering what we've seen of the differences between that Switch 1 trailer and the Switch 2 footage since then. 

There's also the matter of that open space desert which prolly occupies a portion of those GB. 

Anywoo, don't worry, Monolith Soft next game will likely beat out this number easily knowing them.
