"If you're going the eShop route, you might want to know that you'll need 6,748 blocks of space open to download the game."

Translated from "blocks" to MB: around 843 MB or .82 GB.

Dat Nintendo magic.

I dont know, maybe they found a better way to compress the data to male it a smaller file compared to the other full retail games on the eshop, dont a lot of them run over 8,000 blocks of data?

Quite, which is impressive how they compressed all content the game has and still make it look good.

How do that fit that much in such little space.... Actually, I'm amazed at how little the 80s/90s games are compared to games these days.

And the month of Wii U, considering we're getting 3 games in one month instead of none!

I'm holding the Wii U month off till they release MK.  Although I am picking up MH3U and I am interested in Lego City.  If Mario Kart can't save the Wii U then nothing will!

Probably a good idea. Who knows, Nintendo might even drop the price a bit by the end of the year. You'd be getting a good deal then.

I actually already own the Wii U.  I was mainly talking about labeling the month.  However you both are right!  This is the month of the 3DS and Wii U!!!!  Hooray!

Ohhhh okay, read your post wrong then lol. Thought it said you were holding off on getting the Wii U until then. Nevermind xD.

Wow, that's quite small.

But when Ocarina of Time and Mario 3D Land are even half this size, I'm confident they can fit a lot of awesomeness into Luigi's 800MB.

Amazing really, the 3DS carts can be as large as 8GB! Imagine what a game would be if it's that big !
