What if they wanted it on handhelds but needed to wait for the technology in order for it to be practical? The desire to have it on a handheld could have been there from the start.

As a franchise I think there is greater good in having it more accessible to people by releasing it on 3DS as well, than there is in retaining a single character on the roster. Both would be nice - IC were my primary - but ultimately I want more people to get into smash more than I do to keep using a certain character.

All the new additions to the roster help justify it as well imo.

This game is legit hype.

DHG and Bowser Jr's moves are rad. If this is the final roster, I'm more than fucking satisfied.

We'll have a near 50 roster, tons of moves, modes, collectables, online etc. etc.

Gonna be incredible. Roll on October.

I'd also like to say that I'm thankful for Sonic Heroes not taking up precious music space in Green Hill Zone

...unless it's included as one of the bonus Smash Run songs. D'oh!

Smash 4 wouldn't have happened without a handheld and console version and on the off chance it did it wouldn't be as big as the Wii U version is.

The 3DS is going to far outsell and make more money than the console version so really you should be thinkful.

Lol nah it would if happened anyway >.>

I mean Nintendo will support the Wii u to the end. ... You talk as if Nintendo won't make AAA Zelda (which I'm sure has a way bigger budget then smash etc) Wii u because it didn't sell.
Oh wait.

Whether.

And it isn't obvious because there is no way to confirm or deny the truth. Quit forcing yourself to believe something just because you have no explanation.

Nobodies forcing themselves to believe anything. How about not making assumptions about how somebody thinks online. Might make you sound a little more credible.

While Sakurai didn't directly say the ice climbers, and a journalist threw out their name, he did say he was worried about the 3DS limitations making some characters difficult to implement. So OBVIOUSLY the conclusion comes to the most resource consuming character in the game which is the Ice Climbers. Don't try to play me.

Doesn't seem so obvious to me. They have been in Smash for a while, but they are from a kinda crappy NES game, and maybe it was just time for them to go?
Click to expand...

Crappy is subjective. It's time for them to go because they are technically draining on the hardware. If Sakurai comes out and says that it wasn't due to the system that they are cut, then I'll take it back, but until then, I'll go with what he has said which is that some characters may be difficult to add into the game.

Edit:
Richard George Interview said:
On the topic of the roster, Sakurai noted that the 3DS version of the game, with its hardware’s technical limitations, would likely keep the volume of the roster in check, though no characters had been cut so far, and any determination to that effect is a ways away. Which characters ultimately are included will be the result of careful consideration, ranging from which fighters have unique characteristics, equally representing franchises and how signature traits carry over well from previous games like Brawl. Sakurai did tell me that “multiple character” combatants like the Ice Climbers were proving a technical challenge on the 3DS.

I think Ice Climbers for a 3DS version was a good trade.

Yeah I said it.

That's not how it works. Think how much more time and resources they'd have: no 3DS version probably meant no cuts, 5+ newcomers more, everyone from Melee returning and a shitload of other modes.

Are you guys SURE that's a Banjo Kazooie alt? Don't let me ruin anybody's fun. If that's what it's supposed to be, I wish the ducks head was red as well and the dog was lighter brown.
Click to expand...

We know. We know.

It's still the closest Banjo-Kazooie will ever get to being in Smash. Let us have this one.

It was inevitable considering Japanese gaming trends. I wouldn't be surprised to see Smash 6 handheld only.

That would be like calling Halo fans selfish if Halo 5's potential was limited by the game having a simultaneous release on a Windows phone.

Wat

This game started as 3ds only...

And what the fuck? Historically? Dude this is only the fourth smash game. And as much of a fan as you are I'm sorry but not a single entry was made specifically for you. This is sakurais baby as much as any other entry. Smash is whatever he says it is. Forever.

Having opinions = selfishness.

Got it!!.....
Click to expand...

I wish these people won't get a version of a game so I can play with ONE character out of 50 or so that MIGHT have been cut due to that version.


You don't see how selfish that sounds?

Believe me I am looking forward to the Wii U version more too but I am able to take the L if more people get to play the game essentially w/ the 3DS version.

Not to mention all of the stages together in one game instead of split over two.

Yeah, if only they could have not had character parity across platforms. If only...


But really what's the reason for this? They both have different modes and levels, why not characters as well?

To avoid a situation where we have a really cool character stuck in the 3DS version.

Not. Iwata probably has more control.

EDIT: Bowser Jr time!
