When Order Up!! hits the North American eShop this Thursday, it’ll be one of the largest-sized games on the digital store. The title takes up 2,485 blocks on an SD card, which amounts to 310 megabytes of space.

This does make quite a bit of sense. Order Up!! was originally intended to arrive in North American stores before being moved to the eShop.

Other large eShop content includes Mighty Switch Force (1,800 blocks, 225 MB), Let’s Golf 3D (1,520 blocks, 190 MB), and The Amazing Spider-Man demo (1,001 blocks, 125 MB).

Much of the new gaming technology has been drawing lots of comparisons. The Wii U, for instance, has been compared to SmartGlass and the PlayStation 3/Vita combo.

Let’s examine that last point, as Sony Worldwide Studios vice president Scott Rohde recently discussed how the PS3/Vita functionality is superior to what can be found in Wii U.

Rohde explained that the lack of a processor in the GamePad acts as somewhat of a limitation and the PS3/Vita cross-play functionality is an advantage.

According to Rohde:

“Because we have the Vita, I think we can do a lot of special things. And remember, that Wii U tablet doesn’t have a processor in it, so it’s got to be fueled by that box sitting under your TV. We can do some pretty special things that you’ll start to see on the floor this year and you’ll see more over the upcoming months about what you can do when you actually have a processor in the thing that’s in your hand as well.

“And when you start to see how you can cross over between the two platforms – look at two of the titles that are here at E3, PlayStation All-Stars and Sly 4, for example. Both available on Vita and PS3, and there’s some sort of interactivity across the board. Developers are interested in that kind of stuff.”

We have a couple of extra bits on Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition.

First up, the Japanese price. Most Wii games cost 5,800 yen (approximately $74), but the new Kirby collection will cost 3,800 yen (approximately $48). This is a pretty good sign that it’ll cost $40 or less when it arrives in the states.

Along with pricing details, it’s been made clear that players can experience Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards by holding the Wii Remote horizontally. It’s unknown which control scheme(s) the other games will use.
