3DS eShop most likely has no file size restrictions

To this day, Nintendo continues to enforce a strict 40 megabyte filesize limit for WiiWare titles. For the 3DS eShop, the situation is different.

Let’s Golf 3D, the first “3DSWare” title in North America and Europe, launched yesterday and the file size is much larger than most had expected. The game itself takes up 1,500 blocks, which puts it somewhere around 190 megabytes. That’s nearly five times the size of the biggest WiiWare title.

It’s great to see that there is no apparent restriction on the eShop. Developers will have many more options and room to work with and the process to make a game for the service should be much easier than creating something for WiiWare.
