Super Mario Maker 2 File Size And Other Details Revealed

I was going to get it digitally anyway so no biggie.

I think this game is going to be great.can't wait to try all people's crazy levels they create.hope it's as good as they are saying 👍

Physical as always !

Was gunna do the voucher thing and get this and Fire Emblem, so im glad its pretty small.

At least the game won't be filled with "ADD ONLINE PLAY WITH FRIENDS" stages now that that issue has been resolved.

Can't wait for the 28th!

Physical! I need more juicy plastic on my shelf!

I pre-purchases this like 3 weeks ago and could’ve told you the file size was 2.8gb

Also, I did use a voucher! I’m thinking about Dragon Quest Builders 2 or Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 for the 2nd voucher.

Digital as always! The size is very easy to accommodate, woo!

I usually get Switch games physically if possible just for the sole reason that they’re cheaper if I get them second-hand. I don’t have anything against digital copies and usually get PS4 games cheap on the PS Store.

I can't imagine why I would want to own a game like this physically.

This is an experience I want to dip in and out of on a whim if I've ever seen one.

Its file size has been public for some weeks now. It's so small that I decided to go for digital to play it as soon as it launches and use the voucher program. The box art didn't do much for me honestly.

If I do end up getting this, it'll be physical. It's cheaper, and I like getting something physical for my purchases.

@Ralizah For me, at least, it doesn't bother me when I have to change a cartridge to play something else. I have some digital games so I completely understand and appreciate the convwnience, but, as I said above, I like getting something for my money.

This is definitely a digital game for me. It's the kind of game I want to always be ready to go at a moment's notice.

@ryobi85 Hopefully the quality control is better. I got on Mario Maker 1 the other day, and it was almost nothing but kaizo and auto levels.

@westman98 There'll be something else people will beg for.

Pre-ordered digitally already, with a voucher.

Glad it's so conveniently sized, going physical would almost feel like wasting plastic on such a compact game.

For games that I enjoy playing a lot, digital is more convenient as I don't need to switch the game cards constantly. 2.8GB is very reasonable too, so I might pick it up digitally.

Digital with the voucher. Hoping to use the 2nd voucher for Animal Crossing. Two games that I will return to often.

Plus, only one Switch in the house and I won’t be trading these games in or loaning them to friends.

I do have a lot of physical carts that I don’t mind loaning our, but these games are keepers.

I’m preordered here in Japan. It comes with a stylus and a Mario Maker themed bento box!
In the USA I would get neither of those goodies.

Already preordered digitally and with a voucher 😊

Physical of course. I like actually owning my games.

The case I keep my Switch in holds 28 games, so physical works for me just fine. I'm not convinced I'll get my money's worth on MM2 so I'm not sure about Day 1-ing this. Gonna play some more of the Wii U version and try and make an assessment.

Got my digital copy preloaded and ready to go. This was the first title I purchased with an eShop Voucher actually.

That process was quite painless.

Such a great game and a small size, maybe for this one I go digital "maybe"

I played the Wii U version over 500 hours. If I'd go physical the cartridge would never leave my Switch.

So I will get the eShop version (actually I already pre-ordered for the Stylus)
Also just a note all versions are digital. You won't get an analog game with the physical version

It's already lurking in my Switch. The icon has moved down a few spaces, but it's there taunting me until the 28th.

They tripped me up by having two separate listings for it on the eshop. I was going for the online bundle but wound up with just the game alone. After finding out there was no way to add it on afterwards, I had to pay the full price for online. So look and make sure you're getting the option you want if you're going digital.

I wouldn't try to talk anyone out of getting the physical version if they prefer that, since I was always the same way. Just remember that if they add in any DLC the carts become incomplete versions from that point on. And since the first game got multiple additions I'd be surprised if this one didn't get any. For me it's also a game I'll always want at the ready anyway, so it's digital for me.

And a big thank you to the land of the free, home of the brave, and domain of the tightwad for skipping the stylus. Always love it when the North American division just blatantly blows off promotions the other regions get.

Gotta pick up two pairs of the vouchers next month.

MM2 and FE3H Most certainly.

Will sit on the other two I may use one for a throwaway game that I'm not frothing for.

And one other thing about the physical cart - If you're hoping to be able to pop it into more than one Switch, make sure they didn't pull the same stunt they did with the 3DS version. In case you didn't know that cart would only work on one 3DS system. I have two, and was hoping to use it in both, but that move made it impossible.

The low file size makes this an easy digital for me since I can hop to and fro between this and another game.

@Yorumi

That's what they've said.

This is the kind of game that I'll regularly dip in and out of, so it has to be digital for me (especially at 2.8gb).

The steelbook is great - but as with anything collectible, it's best not to start collecting or you start making irrational choices!

Follow me once the game is out, Jokerwolf is my Nintendo handle. I make tons of Nintendo style levels and I will need some people to beta test them so that I can perfect each one.

Side note, I wonder what ever happened to that hammer item that was in the Japanese trailers. I have a feeling Nintendo may have kept some things secret from us.

No mention of couch coop, I thought that was confirmed a little while ago after the initial silence?

Or was that an unconfirmed rumour?
Makes it a buy or skip for me!

Got my physical version pre-ordered ready

Not long now guys, this is when the waiting seems to drag though! XD

Digital makes the most sense to me. Small install, we know its getting at least one update (online w friends), probably going to be dlc and other updates, and its a perfect game to just jump into at any time. Same reason I went digital with Aces.

I bought the digital limited Edition Which came with the stylus and the 50% discount Nintendo online

It’s nice to buy the physical so get my daily exercise switching out games😜. In all honesty I just like having something in my hands for over 80$

Wanted this digital but I go where the prices are... still using my BBGC and got it for 47! That's how I do all my games... wherever I can get the best price.

Just preordered the physical version of Super Merry-Oh Maker 2, as The Lovely One calls it.

@DABYX It has full 4 player couch co-op, and 2 player co-op making.

considering the online nature of this game digital sounds best

@Jimsbo I follow all the horrible Nitneod screw-ups but that's the first I heard of that one. Just googled it - no offense - and that's some serious garbage right there. I mean I guess it's sort of the same thing they always did w/ the Pokemon games, 1 save file per cartridge, but it sounds worse when they do it this way. Pokemon Let's Go games were shareable so hopefully they've come to their sense. Well at least for this game. Eventually.

I'm also planning on buying the bundle if we get it digital - leaning towards the bundle on Amazon physical - so that's a good tip.

@DABYX That's what I want to know, I'm confused as well as the article says this:

2-4 players both via online and local wireless

but they dont' mention couch co-op. I know they played it 4 player online live in the Treehouse during E3 but I didn't see it so I don't know how many Switch they were using. I thought this was settled that it was included as well.

What say ye @ryancraddock ?

@rjejr I imagine it is as we've bth heard it somewhere but confused why the listing (according to this article) is saying otherwise...

On a side note but with similar multiplayer topic, I'm so glad sword n shield raid battles will be filled with Ai in sub 4player connections

2.8G isn't much especially if you have a micro SD card

@DTfeartheBEARD Preach.

Pre-ordered digitally for a few pounds less than if I was to use a voucher from cd keys. Can't wait.

@westman98 Instead you're going to see lots of "BRING BACK THE NATIONAL DEX" stages instead.

@Grumblevolcano
lol true

Reading these comments I feel inclined to ask how lazy some of you guys are, that you can't even be bothered to change a cartridge.

Then I remembered that I brought Mario Maker digitally on the Wii U for the exact same reasons that have been listed by all you lovely commenters! In all honestly, I would have done the same with the Switch version, but the extra cost kills it for me!

Always amazes me how small nintendo can get with their game sizes compared to 3rd party developers.

That's small. Nintendo is always great at putting all the content on one card.

@DABYX You can safely buy it because it has 4 player couch co-op.

This might be common knowledge but I cant seem to find an answer. Does anyone know if I purchase a game voucher if its possibe to split between 2 Nintendo accts? Im looking to get mario maker 2 for me and my son digitally as we have our own switches.

Are people really surprised that the game is this small?

3 out of the 5 currently available styles in Mario Maker 2 are from the NES/SNES, whose games and assets were megabits in size. Megabits.

Digital for sure I would never sell this game and it's a very small size so it's a no brainer for me

Physical when I can, digital when I can't. No need to use up limited storage space on my SD card when I don't really need to.

@Matthew010 I agree, physical is better. At the very least, if your Switch gets ripped off, or eaten by a Great White Shark, you at least have the game...provided it wasn't in the unit.

@Heavyarms55 Right! I mean we have to save the room for Pikmin 4! Um, where the hek is Pikmin 4!

It's available at plenty of bad retailers too!

I'll get physical because they are always cheaper.

@Joe-b If a shark eats your Switch, you download the game again on your new Switch. So if sharks are a likely concern in your gaming life, always go digital because they'll likely eat one of your games at the time of eating your unit!

@HalBailman good points there!

@Joe-b Well I mean I will probably buy that one physical too lol. I mean to save the space for games that I need to download and for DLC stuff.

Also I suspect they are saving Pikmin 4 for somewhere they have nothing else to release.

I got this with the voucher back when they announced the vouchers. I'm probably going to use the 2nd voucher for Astral Chain, but I want to learn a little more about that game first.

Physical, obviously.

@westman98 You're gonna see tons of "Fix Online" stages though, which is totally justified considering the current state of NSO.

@TheAwesomeBowser
Nah probably not.
There will be a ton of "National Pokedex" stages from the Pokemon fans though...

I’m sure I saw someone on here in another comment section saying that full-price games under 3gb stink. Curious to see how this game unfolds to see how wrong he is.

Pre-ordered the physical with the figures the day when they showed the single player, wasn't going to get it until then.

Let's get digital, digital
I wanna get digital
Let's get into digital
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

@YagaMaki It’s more about not having to carry all those cartridges around. The Switch and Joycons are already heavy enough in cargo pants pockets

@Heavyarms55 I figure pikmin 4 will be a December or 1st quarter 2020 announcement. After this amazing E3, Nintendo will need something! Maybe we'll get a new Galaxy or Excite Truck for E3 2020.

@Joe-b You can redownload digital from another Switch if that happens!

@Antraxx777 I have one of those cheap Switch carry cases, holds 6 carts which personally for me is enough to keep me entertained on a trip.

Having said that, I cancelled my physical copy and went for a digital one. Found the digital version for the same price on CD Keys!

@YagaMaki ok. I didn't know how that worked. Thanks.

From the 256GB card I have, I have 38.4GB remaining so I am ready.

Side note: I kind of flipped when I saw that NBA2K19 takes up 32.6GB of my SD space, slightly more then Naruto Shippuden Trilogy (17.6GB)and Smash Ultimate (14.9GB) combined. At least I know what to archive now if need be.
