Yeah i agree with you. I like the wiiu.  I love playing it but the fact is that those games are like a overhyped well polished dreamcast game. 

There is not much on to 1.8 gb game.

incoming DLC

the argument of mario3d world havin plenty gameplay is invalid. Yes it has but the size is because of the give and take in the game. When you look at it the abstract way then the only things you see is blocks and platforms and some enemies put on a certain place in a level.

i do admire the puzzles tho. But the games are recycled. Even the levels are the same with different blocks and enemies. I dont wanna bash the game i like it. But it just aint wow. And to go ontopic splatoon is a very small game. And we all know its goin to be a dlc machine.. Rest my case on that

the game is like sonic adventure 2 with highly polished graphs like the pixelshading and shine. Some minor improvement of distance rate but thats really it. 

U know what i am talking about. If you unclothes the mario3dworld game its dreamcast.

in the early days of mass effect 1 when the game wasnt updated yet you could see the first layer without the sahding and without the high distance rate. Which really resembled dreamcast. But even so the game was huge gigabytes. You know why? Cause it was a huge game even without the shading and polishment. Splatoon is nowhere near mass effect 1 and its world. 

The first thing is that its a 4v4 game in one open world that could be outzoomed and seen as a small world compared to ther games such as bf4. I know its an extreme example but just to wake u up thats all. Other point is that it has allready been teased with dlc in the future. 1.8 gb doesnt do it. Even shenmue is more gb. And the programming compressing argument is also invalid. There is simply nothing to argue its a small ass game getting loads of dlc. 

Im not saying its bad. Its not complete and i m not buying it

Come on, people! Grab on the edges!

Being 3rd party friendly and game developer friendly are not mutually exclusive (or are you saying third parties aren't also game developers?). I do get what you are saying about Nintendo also using the space though.  Do you happen to know what size the largest physical retail game on Wii U is?

This

Thank you sir.

I'm saying the medium was beneficial to developers as a whole (not just third parties) and was the obvious choice.

Ok that I agree to.  Although obvious choice of medium and Nintendo don't always go together (N64 cartidges in the CD era and Game Cube disks in the DVD era) xp

N64 cartridge was a mistake but it was probably due to the bad experience with cdi. I don't think the gamecube discs were a bad idea, though. the GC had better texture compression in a way that two discs would be enough for any 4.5 gb game on regular dvds. And considering what happened with dreamcast (rampant piracy), the mini dvd may have saved their profits during that gen.

Could be.
