It always amazes me reading about the novel techniques N64 devs used to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of such a hardware / storage constrained platform. Nowadays I get excited if a Call of Duty patch is under 10gb....

It's incredible to me to see just how much smaller Nintendo Switch versions of games are than their PC counterparts, even when the visual differences are minimal.

Note also that the textures on the switch are for a console that does 1080px max so it would be smaller.

edit://Visual difference minimal you say?

For example, Cuphead at 3.3GB is 1/4 the size on Switch as it is on Xbox One. Another is Doom 2016, which, while obviously having lower fidelity visuals, is 13.2GB on Switch and 77GB on PC.
