The 3DS eShop definitely has some sort of file size restriction. This was made clear by Capcom’s Christian Svensson last year. However, contrary to what we reported on last night, 2GB might not be the limit after all – it could be more, it could be less.

Reader “joclo” sent us information regarding the file size limit, and it appeared that Team Meat’s Tommy Refenes confirmed the 2GB restriction in a recent issue of Nintendo Gamer. This wasn’t the case, though.

Refenes took to Twitter to clarify the situation:

“Original Quote on size restrictions: ‘…or if they do they are reasonable restrictions (40MB is horrible….2GB is reasonable).’ Never said that 2GB was the size restriction on eShop. I do not know what it is.”

“joclo” did provide me with a photo of the quote a short while ago, and Nintendo Gamer’s wording is a bit odd. This is what the relevant excerpt states in full:

“Refenes, however, doesn’t think there’s much wrong with the current setup (‘it’s honestly pretty easy’) though he’s hoping that Wii U doesn’t have size restrictions on download games – ‘or if they do, they are reasonable restrictions. [WiiWare’s] 40MB is horrible, but [3DS’s] 2GB is reasonable.'”

It looks like Nintendo Gamer added in the extra “3DS”, even though this isn’t what Refenes actually said…

Apologies for the confusion, folks!
