ABF, remember that sound compression isn't all that tough. Doing all that voice acting and fitting it on the card would be easy for Nintendo. 100MB of sound was THEN, now all that sound, and it was low quality anyway, could fit on a card easily enough. Remember, they fit all that sound in RE2 on a cart, and Star Fox 64, and there's the matter of all the sound sampling they do for music. chain of memories for GBA uses recorded music and has full FMVs. Compression and stuff is a LOT better now than ever. Getting the voice IN the carts is not an issue.
But yes, Nintendo and voice acting have an on again off again relationship... I'm just hoping they see enough of an advantage in this game to go with it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
