1 - They Could Easily
They Could Easily make a San Andres Story For The PSP Then, but this game does look to be a hit for the DS

3.1 - ...
just curious, if a developer/publisher use a larger sized cartridge? cuz those R4 things are like 4 GB or something right? and with the prices that these things are going for these days its not like it would eat into profits that much to move to a 1 GB or 2 GB card. (assuming that its allowed by nintendo etc)

I'm sure that Nintendo would raise the cap is 2K asked for it, they did for Archaic Sealed Heat which uses a 2GB cart.
Current NDS test cartridges are repackaged 2GB flash memories.

If you look at it, a DS cartridge looks a lot like a SD cart, and they come in heavy sizes nowadays.

3.3 - More lines of code.
But code is very, very small. You can write a basic program within just 5 or 6 Kilobytes.

Although this game is talking the talk, I'm not so sure if it'll walk the walk. Where the hell is the media?! We've not got many screenshots to go on, and no videos to gain an understanding of what it's actually like to play. It's reminiscent of GTA on the GBA, where sfa was shown until the last week or so before release. And it sucked.
