The Ice Climbers are cut? Why. They are 2-time veterans, why on earth would they be cut now. Because they caused framerate issues on the 3DS?
Then. make. adjustments. Nana could run at 30 FPS like the Assist Trophies and Pokémon to keep the 60 FPS. If that doesn’t work, then make them single Ice Climber with adjustments to the moveset to keep the spirit of their duo. Sakurai, you have been a game developer for over
20 years, and you have a huge team of talented game developers. Are you seriously telling me you couldn’t even fine
one solution for the Ice Climbers? They should of still been in the Wii U version, it’s baffling and unfair that they are going to be disincluded in both just because one version had a few issues with them. The biggest problem with this decision is that this eliminates an entire IP from the roster. Previous cuts in the series (such as
Mewtwo, Roy) has always had other characters to represent their franchise. With Ice Climbers there are no one else, their IP is completely out of representation in the roster. This has
never been done before and it just feels downright cruel.
Ridiculous.
