Kaio: King of Pirates is an odd case. Despite having announced the game a year and a half ago, relatively little has been shared by developer Comcept and publisher Marvelous AQL.

But don’t work: Kaio is still coming. Comcept CEO Keiji Inafune told Siliconera that development is “going well”, though because a manga and anime are also involved, “we can’t just show the game.”

“Marvelous AQL is the publisher and there are plans to make a manga and anime. At Comcept, we’re producing the game and it’s going well. There is a total effort with all of these collaborators for the Kaio intellectual property, so we can’t just show the game. It’s basically not our choice.”

While we’re on the topic of 3DS block sizes, here’s another one for you: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. The game comes in at a whopping 17,693 blocks.

That’s larger than Style Savvy’s 10,500 total and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s 14,275 amount.

Capcom previously said that Ultimate is 1.76GB. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D should, therefore, be somewhere around 2GB.
