Topic: Unofficial 3DS eShop Block/File Sizes.

Hello everybody, this is the unofficial 3DS eShop Block/File size topic!

I always found the file sizes in the reviews to be very helpful, especially because I download a lot of games. Alas lately, the editors haven't been able to upload file sizes. One of the suggestions was for a way to let readers like us be able to post the sizes for certain games, and I figured what better way then to do so in the forums!

Below are the games that I can verify the size on. Keep in mind this is US file sizes, and there might be some variation between regions, and this does not include patches or updates.

Is there a way to check blocks for a game without having the funds for it?

The only way I've seen is if the game requires more blocks then is available.

My bad, was just a typo. I'll add these games to the list!

Added!

I like how you put them into the different categories, I'll be sure to incorporate that for better organization!

Added some DSiWare titles to the list. :3

These are the EU/Pal file sizes.

It's about 1000 blocks to 1GB right?

8,192 blocks = 1GB.

I'll add anything from my collection that's missing here when I get home from work. Great topic idea.

Just divide the amount of blocks by 8 to get the amount of MB. So 8192 blocks is 1 GB i believe.

For those last two, ALBW and VLT, I posted them because my file sizes are different than what OP and ShanaUnite got for them. I don't know why though. I'm NA region, if that helps.

Virtual Console

The Mysterious Murasame Castle (NES): 60 blocks
Shining Force: Sword of Hajya (GG): 50 blocks

Added the missing ones!

Added the missing ones!

You should consider making an online document for this list, it would be better than having an overly long post with all the data.

Added the missing ones! And woah, that is a HUGE difference in file size, I checked my Link Between Worlds file and it was 1,570 Blocks, so I have no clue why yours is so much bigger.

How would you recommend going about that? I've been editing the original post because it's easy, but it is getting a lot longer then I had imagined.
