Co-founder Jools Watsham wrote on Twitter:
The Moon Chronicles ROM is currently about 180MB. That's not too big, is it?
— Jools Watsham (@JoolsWatsham) March 5, 2014
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. 🙂

Renegade Kid could bring Moon Chronicles to Wii U if the 3DS version is successful
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Moon Chronicles could eventually make its way to the Wii U, depending on how successful the 3DS version is.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham told NintendoWorldReport that the studio has considered the shooter for Nintendo’s hardware, but it “would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit”. The company would need to be able to “afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.”
Watsham’s comments in full:
Our thoughts have always been primarily on the 3DS version, but we have discussed a Wii U version. That is something that would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit so we could afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.
