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.

As we reported on a few hours ago, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata held a Q&A session for Nintendo’s Q1 2011 financial results earlier today. Although he didn’t prepare a presentation, he did provide a few opening remarks, mainly focusing on the 3DS price drop. Iwata also discussed salary reductions for executives, including himself.

If you’re interested in seeing Iwata’s comments in summary form, head on over to this link. It also contains additional details from the Q&A session.

Iwata’s full opening statements can be read below.

Good morning. Before accepting questions, there is one thing that I would like to address here.

Since the first fiscal quarter has limited importance within the annual business of game companies, it does not make much sense for me to make a detailed presentation on the business in that quarter, so I have not made such preparations for today. On the other hand, a number of people must have such doubts as, “Why does the company have to make such a drastic markdown now?” Please let me talk about that before the Q&A session.

First of all, we have made the decision to markdown the Nintendo 3DS because we recognize that the current situation surrounding the system is different from that before the launch and immediately after the launch.

Having strong momentum is very important for game platform businesses. Once momentum is lost, great power is needed to change that trend.
