The Moon Chronicles ROM is currently about 180MB. That's not too big, is it?

Watsham also said the final version going on up the eShop won’t be heavily compressed. Cut-scenes will feature minimal compression and max bandwidth.
@Vactro I agree. Don't worry, we're not compressing like crazy. The cut-scene videos have minimal compression and use maximum bandwidth. 🙂
