Hmm... I wonder if games will get that big. If you recall, the N64 never pushed cart sizes as big as it could... I remember before it came out in Nintendo Power they said somewhere it could get up to like 900mb eventually or something... well for sure I know that 512 wasn't the max. Big carts were just too expensive.
Anyway, even 256mb might not be enough for three 32mb SNES games... that's 96mb for the three. It probably would be plenty, actually... the emulator/remake probably wouldn't be TOO big (for an emu) or make the filesize grow twice as big or something... so they COULD. If that 256 is accurate and Nintendo would actually make a cart that big.
However, they won't, given how the Mario series -- released in one SNES All-Stars cartridge YEARS ago -- is $30 per game...
