Part of it is higher quality textures, but yes, a lot of AAA titles nowadays (especially the styles of games Sony and MS make) are filled with thousands of lines of voiced dialogue and that fills up space really quick. By comparison Nintendo has very little voiced dialogue in their games. Even BOTW, which has some, has barely any compared to something like Gears or God of War.
No, you already got Gold coins for buying the vouchers. You don't get any more for using the voucher
High rez textures, prerendered video (or has this largely been phased out?), and tens or hundreds of hours of voicework will do that.
I think Fire Emblem has a lot, a lot of voice acting since everything is voiced and there are so many interactions possible.
Fire Emblem does, yeah. Probably the most of any first-party Nintendo game. Though I cannot day I'm familiar with how much Xenoblade has, which would be the other contender here.
I see. Thank you.
Double gold coins is a pretty good deal. Sucks that Link's Awakening didn't do a double coin promotion. Would've pre-ordered immediately.
NPCs are not voiced in Xenoblade if I recall so I think Fire Emblem takes it.
You will get the extra half only.

Yeah it would definitely be Fire Emblem then. But even that has less VO than most other AAA games.
I'm totally wrong, they do give you bonus Gold coin for using the voucher, on both the Luigi's Mansion page and Link's Awakening
In Europe at least
So you still get double coins even if you use a voucher in EU. I checked the US eShop page for Luigi's Mansion but it did not state the same.
Ah, thanks for reminding me. Now I remember there being a double coin promotion for Link's Awakening in EU. I also remember posting in the thread about it. LOL.
NPCs in Xenoblade games usually repeat some short sentence that is shared between multiple NPCs in the same area or even the full game. So yeah, there's not many audio files related to NPCs, and not all of the main party lines are voiced either.
I don't know, the game is REALLY long (4 routes) and there's a lot of supports. The battle gameplay sections are not interrupted by characters talking constantly like in most AAA games, but the game is easily 3-4 times longer than your average SP AAA game, so I'm not that sure that there's really less voiced lines.
I guess it depends how you define it. When I say AAA I'm comparing it to stuff like Uncharted and Witcher and such.
Either way it definitely has a lot. Way more than any other Nintendo game. So that's all that really matters to this point.
Don't forget the style of graphics is a mile different. Cartoon textures, models, etc don't take up as much space and don't need to be as highly detailed as someone from Gears 5.
It's kinda funny how it kinda makes the Switch the most digital friendly platform of the big 3! File sizes combined with gold coins for discounts.
I strongly suspect Luigi's Mansion 3 started as a 3DS project, which would explain the small file size.
what's this about paid DLC? maybe deserves its own topic.
I believe it was discussed/mentioned that LM3 started off as a Wii U game actually.
super mario odyssey is 5,7gb.
splatoon 2 was 5,5gb.
arms is 2,2gb.
nintendo is just good at compressing files right.
While this is true, they are very good at it. They also don't have high res textures in almost an of their games. They don't have to include 4k textures. They don't use voice in almost any of their games....
All of this makes a game a lot easier to keep at 6gb haha
Or maybe they don't make games for 4k capable hardware.
Not defending high file sizes, I think most AAA developers go too far with uncompressed audio and pre-rendered cinematics - but this feels disingenuous.
it's not disingenuous at all.
an enormous game like xenoblade 2 being only 13gb while having 120 musics tracks, 13 hours of prerendered cinematics with voice acting and hundreds of monsters just proves my point easily.
It might be a long game, but Xenoblade 2 isn't a good example considering it has issues with texture quality and resolution. It runs at 720p docked and as low as 368p undocked.
Am I falling for the bait here thinking people really believe Nintendo isn't the optimization leaders and it's the lack of voice overs and textures?
Is this a new meme I missed or something? Y'all crazy. The huge file sizes of other aaa titles aren't because of that shit, it's because optimization isn't a priority because it doesn't have to be.

but then they wouldn't be able to release a game about ghost busting on Halloween!
