Hardware couldn't handle Wolf either.

 

[Kinsei]

Some players who only own a 3DS might feel its unfair that his Wii U friends gets this-and-that character. I'm already bummed Pac-Man's stage is 3DS exclusive.

Pac-Man has a Wii U stage too. It just happens to be from Pac-Land

 

[me0wish]

Make them a single character? I would of actually preferred that.

 

[Htown]

What were Mewtwo's reason for not being in?
And Wolf's?

Because no one cares about them.

 

[CentroXer]

but...but NES could handle them!

 

[El Sabroso]

so clame 3DS version, He should do it Wii U version exclusive

 

[noquarter]

There wasn’t as high a priority given to series that are unlikely to have another installment at this time.

So still no new Ice Climbers Loved playing the game in the Pizza Parlor as a kid

DUCK HUNT WII U CONFIRMED.

Oh, shi... didn't even think of that. Great news!

 

[ZeroCDR]

Some players who only own a 3DS might feel its unfair that his Wii U friends gets this-and-that character. I'm already bummed Pac-Man's stage is 3DS exclusive.

Handheld gamers should be used to that sort of thing, that's the price for weaker hardware. The Wii U version deserves to be everything it can be.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Super Smash Bros. for New Nintendo 3DS with Ice Climbers?

That's what I'm thinking.

 

[Ivan 3414]

DUCK HUNT WII U CONFIRMED.

Read that quote in context, bruh.

 

[KingSnake]

To not make one version more worth the money than the other, I'd guess.

One version is anyhow more worth the money by releasing sooner.

 

[Soulflarz]

Still wishing theyd be wii u exclusive. Id rather have a character on one version than not at all.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Animal Crossing U confirmed?

 

[Steve Youngblood]

To not make one version more worth the money than the other, I'd guess.

That's fine and all, but I sort of feel like this is nonsensical given that there are already different game modes and stages. They're already not the same game.

 

[EhoaVash]

lol fuck 3DS version

 

[foxuzamaki]

Then I can officially say it: fuck the 3DS version

 

[kuroneko0509]

Anyone else confused by the logic behind the lack of simultaneous release?

It's obviously staged to get more money and encourage double-dipping.

But their logic is they released at the same time, it'd have to be in 2015? What kind of backwards ass sense does that make?

Debug team split into two duh

 

[Neiteio]

Sakurai can always double back and say, "I meant the base games would have roster parity. So here's some WiiU-exclusive Ice Climbers DLC!"

 

[DedValve]

Here I am on the toilet, the worlds gone to shit and so have I.

 

[spindashing]

Makes sense why Ridley's not in either.

He's too big for the 3DS. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Goon Boon]

On the one hand I'm sort of happy he didn't budge on the 3DS's framerate for this.

But on my other more biggest hand WHY THE FUCK can't the Wii U version get Ice Climbers?

 

[phanphare]

DUCK HUNT WII U CONFIRMED.

first thing I thought of

 

[Speedwagon]

I'm guessing it'll be announced soon. Otherwise it'll be pretty disappointing.

I think Sakurai already said there wouldn't be. Although the roster is the same, they don't share the same stages except for Final Destination and Battlefield.

 

[shink]

Booo. I'm glad there is a portable version but now I'm annoyed at the weak hardware of the 3DS.

 

[Dombrowski]

People care about these two?

 

[johnsavage]

Super Smash Bros. for New Nintendo 3DS with Ice Climbers?

The outrage that would result from that decision.....

 

[Trey]

To not make one version more worth the money than the other, I'd guess.

Other than the superior image quality, different stages, different modes, different control schemes.

Put Ice Climbers in the Wii U version, Sakurai.

 

[digdug2k]

That's fine and all, but I sort of feel like this is non-nonsensical given that there are already different game modes and stages. They're already not the same game.

That doesn't mean there isn't likely a ton of shared code between the two.

 

[UnderWaterTree]

at least its nice to know that they didn't get cut

 

[Steve Youngblood]

That doesn't mean there isn't likely a ton of shared code between the two.

I'm not sure what you're trying to address with this statement.

 

[Mariolee]

Read that quote in context, bruh.

.....I did?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Good riddance.

.

 

[SmokyDave]

Specs matter.

 

[mrhej]

The outrage that would result from that decision.....

Ok now I want that to happen.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Wii U exclusive characters? For.

Specs matter.

As long as it comes with a library to boot, I'd agree!

 

[skLaFarebear]

My main?....MY MAINNNNNNN T_____T

 

[Green Mamba]

Ice Climbers died for 3DS only owner's sour grapes.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Fuck.

 

[Zephyrus]

Because no one cares about them.

Dr. Mario must have a ton of fans.
Same with Mr Game and Watch.

 

[Quadraphonic]

Debug team split into two duh

But then all they'd have to do is artificially delay this one for a month. There's literally nothing to cause it to make BOTH wait.

 

[daydream]

Specs matter.

You planning to post that in every 3DS thread?

You're pretty broken up about Ice Climbers missing, I'm sure.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Fucking Bungie and its parity cla...

Oh. Wrong dev.

Spoiler

Still a shame tho

 

[-MD-]

Bummer for the fans, I personally never used them.

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

That's okay, Ice Climbers are terrible and the Ice Climbers game is a Nintendo atrocity only rivaled by Urban Champions.

 

[Popnbake]

Sad news about confirming people's suspicions regarding IC's removal.

so clame 3DS version, He should do it Wii U version exclusive

The reason Sakurai wanted to do Smash 3DS was because he felt the Smash series needed to 'evolve'.

From the 3DS sales thread, it was the right call for Japan.

 

[King Boo]

i am profoundly disappointed

 

[Puru]

That's good news personally, almost calm my anger toward the lack of mewtwo.

I'm guessing the 3DS hardware was also too weak to handle Mewtwo. RIP GOAT

Quite possible, i dunno who in their right mind wouldn't introduce him back, but i could understand if the hardware wasn't strong enough to display him in his full glory.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I'm guessing it'll be announced soon. Otherwise it'll be pretty disappointing.

No, guy, there is no cross play. It was confirmed a long time ago.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Who's being fed crow now? I know someone must have said that this wouldn't be a hardware issue at some point

 

[Mr. RPG]

It seems they were running in the Wii U version, but due to the required hardware power, the team couldn’t make them work in the 3DS game.

Um.... what? LOL

That is the dumbest reason ever.
