Brawl will need 128 BLOCKS OF WII MEMORY!

[Drclaw411]

We all know how big Brawl is. It's noticed with every update, and heavily stressed on SMYN. Well....it's a little bigger than we thought.

SSBB in this article is confirmed to use 128 blocks of memory. It also uses the Havok engine.

O_O that is a lot of space but i dont care one bit because i know this game will be woth every one of those 128 blocks

 

[NDUDE]

Biggest. Game. Ever.

 

[thetoastinator]

That is practically all the games I have (Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, etc.) mashed into one!!!

 

[Uchiha.Sanosuke]

Super Mario Galaxy takes up, what, one block?

When I saw the numbers 128, the two things that went through my mind were:

1. "HOLY ****ING ***T."

2. "This game has been confirmed to be the greatest game in existence."

And did anyone else notice that the numbers are 128? Get it?

 

[eugoogalizer]

sorry for the ignorance, but what's the average block per game? i really don't know the average conversion of blocks from games :/

Super mario 128!!! (which was later changed to pikmin)

It is in block form. The Wii has 512 megabytes, not blocks.

I do not know how 128 blocks transfers to megabytes though.

 

[i8waffles612]

I have 1728 blocks left <3

 

[SinisterLizard]

16 blocks = 1 MB, I believe

On another note, Melee took 11 blocks. That's almost 12x bigger! Surely the roster is huge. (Sorry, that's all I really care about. )

 

[Puffs]

Super Mario 128 and Captain Falcon confirmed for brawl

 

[Oh Gibdo]

Wow, that's awesome.
I already plan on buying an SD card that will only be used for Brawl stuff (stages, pictures, replays, etc).

 

[Cenedar]

JESUS TAP-DANCING CHRIST THAT'S BIG!!! 128... this game will assimilate my Wii... I just know it.

 

[Zek]

Guys this has nothing to do with how big the game is... Save data is tiny no matter how much content the game has. Most likely it reserves that much space for the storage of replays, screenshots, etc.

 

[lookatthatbaconsizzle]

Worth every block.

Too bad for the people who bought A LOT of VC games though... get rid of em!

 

[Mathieu21]

Ridley confirmed to be playable.

 

[NDUDE]

Ridley confirmed to be playable.

I actually LOL'd at that.

 

[IWontGetOverTheDam]

Best game ever confirmed for Brawl. Oh, wait...

 

[Anth0ny]

Just remember that the game is not only much, MUCH larger than Melee, but there are screenshots and videos to be saved. That is probably the majority of the 128 blocks right there.

 

[SubparSmashBrother]

Twilight Princess, Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, etc. All have one or two blocks. Pokemon Battle Revolution, the blockiest game I have, is only 29 blocks. 0_0

 

[Drik Khaail]

It's clearly referencing the 1/128 possibilty of getting the Sword of Kings guys. Poo confirmed ^-^

 

[finalark]

HOLY CRAP!

.... Good thing I don't buy a lot of VC games......

 

[Drack]

There are 8 blocks in a megabyte.

The Brawl save is 16 MB.

 

[Layupfreak]

ok this game is crazy.

 

[Bane84]

That's pretty big.

I was interested in those images... not for the total save size or the engine it uses, but more for the character copyrights, which are, sadly, not all in view.

 

[Deathparasol]

Er, so the pictures are all going to be a part of that, or separate?

I'm glad I didn't download so many VC games as well...

 

[SinisterLizard]

Just remember that the game is not only much, MUCH larger than Melee, but there are screenshots and videos to be saved. That is probably the majority of the 128 blocks right there.

Sakurai said all recordings, screenshots, new stages, etc. were all extra. They don't account for the 128 blocks. Basically it should be: minimum 128 blocks. Anything else you create/save will be in addition to that.

 

[Hitzel]

How much does the biggest SD card cost? The smallest?

You'd think! But according to Brawl Central....THAT DOESNT EVEN INCLUDE ANYTHING EXTRA, IT'S JUST THE BASE AMOUNT!

FROM BRAWL CENTRAL:
Also, for those of you who haven't seen this already, as previously confirmed, Brawl will be using the Havoc engine and it seems that it will take up 128 blocks of memory to save. Don't forget to add replays, snapshots, stages, ect to that amount since it seems this is only the base amount of memory for records, SSE, and other pre-made features!

 

[Jave]

Good thing I still have around 1500 free blocks.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Helll Yes!!!!

 

[Revven]

This game is epic, then again, we knew that months ago.

 

[specialsauce]

well i have an sd card so im good. 128 blocks is big i think madden on wee only takes 78 blocks or somethin

 

[luis92]

i got ahead of the game and i bought a 2 gig SD card a few months ago cuz i knew this game would take alot of space 19k blocks left FTW!! hahaha

 

[Eszett]

Weren't screenshots saved in an external file that could be dynamically allocated, though? I think that the extra materials will go beyond the 128 blocks based on how memory was managed in the last game.

 

[ZAxel]

And did anyone else notice that the numbers are 128? Get it?

Oh i get it, it's today's date! …or am i missing something
