The file size of Moon Chronicles’ first episode weighs in at about 180MB, according to Renegade Kid.

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. 🙂
