   All right, maybe I can play some of the new Mario Kart courses before I go to bed - ah nuts. I'll play them tomorrow after work.

     @deadheat Depends on the game. Super Mario Bros Wonder is around 4GB. According to one source, with DLC Mario Kart 8 DX is around 6.2GB. Breath of the Wild clocks in at 16.3GB. Monster Hunter Rise is 19.7GB. Resident Evil Revelations is 23.7 GB.
     
     Bigger games like NBA 2K23 have sizes like 55.4 GB.

     @heavens_feel Are Switch games ~80 GB in size like modern games for other platforms?

     @heavens_feel @deadheat Nintendo is like the one gaming company left that actually seems to understand and value compression. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom was originally gonna be 18 GB, itself insanely small compared to how 3rd parties and especially Western devs handle compression, but Nintendo managed to reduce it further to 16 GB before it actually released
     
     You could instantly tell that the Mario RPG remake wasn't made by Nintendo, just from its massive download size (massive by Switch standards, very small compared to Western AAA games).
