A few more games added, including Kingdom Hearts and Fire Emblem. The lack of any other real guide for this sort of thing is disturbing.

My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

I'm amazed how small Fire Emblem is :o Such an epic game, I feel like it should take up more room.

It makes sense though. Awakening has a lot to it, but each of those things are small. Lots of small 3D environments, lots of still sprites, lots of lines of text to read, lots of simple numbers, etc. In contrast, look at Kid Icarus: Uprising, which has loads of big environments and honestly isn't that much bigger. The only real bulky part of the game is the animated cutscenes, and there aren't even that many of them.

Some 16Gbit games not listed in OP:

SSF4
DOA
Splinter Cell

etc.

Basically 32Gbit games are the biggest what we have right now, while median somewhere in 4Gbit range. For comparison biggest DS games are exactly 4Gbit.

Yeah, I'm kind of torn on Steel Diver.

While it's a really fun game to play and you can get a lot of play time out of it, I do think that there should be more missions. I do think that it should have been a retail release, but maybe at $19.99.

This tactical thing sucks though, basically it's hunt down a sub game, very repetitive and not fun. Just makes me want new Advance Wars even more.

Pretty amazing how the 3DS cart limit is 8 gigabytes while the (seemingly) massive title Skyrim only contains 5,5.

I'd now like to see some huge Zelda games made for my 3DS, do it Nintendo! :D

Actually, Skyrim is 3.8GB.

They really should port it over. 3DS needs some open world games.
