Sounds worth it, but there are other handheld games that outclass it like Link Between WorldsThink about it, 3DS version has options you would expect from the handheld version of a game and I just played sets from a coffee shop against a player in Japan.
Read that back:
I PLAYED SUPER SMASH BROS AGAINST A PLAYER IN JAPAN FROM A COFFEE SHOP IN CANADA.
Well worth the $$
I lose attention with handhelds very quickly, they are underwhelming and I have less attention for the handheld versions of console games.I guess then it's by preference. 3DS would obviously be better if the player goes out of the house often and Wii U would serve its function well when that person's homestuck.
To your first quote, yes other handheld games out class it. But I have those too, and this is Smash Bros. Can't compare. Second, that sounds like a personal problem rather than a game sucking problem. You just don't enjoy handhelds, so why would you have even bothered knowing you get bored with them? You were down a peg to startI lose attention with handhelds very quickly, they are underwhelming and I have less attention for the handheld versions of console games.
LBW is pretty much Link to the Past with 3D effects and concepts (not that it's bad, but obvious gimmick is obvious). You'll probably complete it in a month or so and never touch it again. Without a Wii U, any hacked handheld console, or car powered adapters for home consoles on the go, the convenience of Smash Bros on the 3DS is very high. And knowing that equipment and such being carried onto the Wii U version when you arrive at your friends' house or somewhere similar will put you in a advantage of having the right stuff for kicking tail every time.Sounds worth it, but there are other handheld games that outclass it like Link Between Worlds
Actually... No, they didn't. The 3DS version could have a lot more of content (more stages, music, etc).They did as much as they could with the handheld version
But LBW is a completely different genre from Smash 3DS. Why are you comparing those two?Sounds worth it, but there are other handheld games that outclass it like Link Between Worlds
No, it was made because Nintendo needed to make profit with the game. 3DS games actually sell very well unlike Wii U games.I would definitely say it's a glorified demo in the same vein as metal gear solid ground zeroes, it was made so people would have the 3ds version then look at the wii u version in awe. The direct definitely proved this because most of the stuff mentioned in it were old modes that didn't make it into the 3ds version. Smart tactic, worked on me
So how else do you think they would get people to buy the wii u version? Of course they know the 3ds version would sell greatly that's the point of releasing it almost 2 months before the wii u. it's common sense actually, people don't have any doubts about how it'll play, they only know it will be a better experience in nearly every wayNo, it was made because Nintendo needed to make profit with the game. 3DS games actually sell very well unlike Wii U games.
Wouldn't people know it was the lesser version by default? I don't see too many people being angry about a character they knew could never be on the handheld to begin withi wouldnt ever consider the 3ds version a demo unless they released characters that are strictly for the wiiu. As it is right now the only character that isnt default in the roster is Mewtwo and hes available for both....eventually.
The game will play the same, except for controller prefs and graphics obviously. Only real difference is level editor (only thing im truely syked about between the two), 5+ local player (which i call "Party Mode" lol), and i would expect a more stable online since the WiiU does have a better wifi system than the 3DS due to the size difference. Minor, but hopefully enough to prevent random disconnects.
Given the excuse we got for the removal of Ice Climbers i COULD see them adding them into Wiiu eventually. But i doubt it because it would cause a ton of heat for making the 3DS a "lesser" version of the game.
How is it that only the 3DS version pleases "Wii casuals" yet the Wii U version doesn't? Do you mean based on graphics? It's a handheld, for God's sake. The level editor? That thing wasn't very remarkable in Brawl, anyways. The online? Get better internet and it'll run fine. The amount of content? The game cards do have a limit, which I believe is 8gb.The 3ds version is to please wii casuals who didn't move on to a cellphone but instead moved on to a 3ds.
The 3DS pleases casuals? The version that allows you to play online from anywhere with a wifi connection without lugging a huge console? Not the Wii U version that has an 8 player party mode, huge maps with ridiculous hazards, a board game and versions of competitive maps with larger space so you can fit more people on it?The 3ds version is to please wii casuals who didn't move on to a cellphone but instead moved on to a 3ds.
The 3ds version is geared towards a more causal crowd by designThe 3DS pleases casuals? The version that allows you to play online from anywhere with a wifi connection without lugging a huge console?

They both have aspects pleasing to both.
Scintillating argument. You proved my points wrong very thoroughly....The 3ds version is geared towards a more causal crowd by design
