In Japan, Mario Party: Star Rush can now be pre-loaded from the 3DS eShop. The game takes up 3,001 blocks, or 375 MB.
Nintendo’s UK website also has the file size for the European release. It’s 3,018 blocks / 377 MB. In other words, all versions of the game are pretty much the same size.

– 8 AM PT – 9 AM PT
– 11 AM ET – 12 PM ET

Retro Gamer editor Darran Jones will be stopping by to show off some of the NES games in HD and 60Hz for the first time. One lucky viewer will also be able to win the hardware through a giveaway.
The stream will be hosted on Nintendo UK’s Twitch page here. We’ll also have it on the site a bit before it begins.
