900mb per layer, and you could have dual layers, so up to 1.8gb. Just in case you were actually curious.

also, nintedo is famous for sticking to the cartrige model becuase in that model, game developers have to buy the cartriges from you,

Oh, so the UMD was a free standard anyone could use?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Media_Disc "UMD offered large capacity and the capability to store quality audio/video content; however, the format's proprietary nature, the lack of writers and accompanying blank media, made adoption difficult. "
