Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury file size seems to be smaller than initially expected

Right after Nintendo unveiled Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury last September, the game was available to pre-order on the Switch eShop. It also came with a file size of 5GB at the time.

Now that Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury has received a status update with a new trailer, the eShop listing has changed, and it’s looking like the game will be smaller than originally expected. The store page now shows that it’ll take up just 2.9GB. That puts it closer to the Wii U original, which was about 1.7GB.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury launches for Switch on February 12.
