Zune Game Development FAQ

David Weller, Community Manager of Microsoft’s Game Technology Group:

Q: How much memory is available for Zune games?
A: Games on Zune are limited to 16Mb for code and content.

Really? That seems lame. Many of the games available for iPod — Sonic The Hedgehog, Yahtzee, Texas Hold ‘Em, Bejeweled — all run well over 16MB. I wonder if this is some sort of artificial limitation, or if there is an actual problem with games being larger than 16MB. I’m betting on the former.
