Holding the full game back?

[Sendo Roba]

With the recent interview, Sakurai has confirmed that the reason Ice Climbers were cut was because even though they were in and working fine on the Wii U version, the 3DS version couldn't handle them and thus were cut from both.

This is exactly what I was worried of when when he said the rosters would be the same; the Wii U version being held back so the 3DS version can keep up. Having this feeling confirmed makes me not want the 3DS version to exist, because then the Wii U version could go all out with no limitation and quite possibly be the best Smash yet. Or at the very least have differences in the roster. Hell, this might be the reason we got so many filler (clone is a little too generous) characters is because that's what the 3DS could manage so that's what they went with.

These are just my thoughts. Maybe later down the line "Ultra" Super Smash Bros. will be announced for the U as the definitive edition without anything to hold back from. But maybe not...

We need a better version because this one is just Mario, Pokemon, Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus the game. 3ds was a wasted effort, Wii U should have always been the main focus. To bad there is a foolish director at the helm.

This is exactly what i feared would happened when they announced both versions. Who the hell even requested a handheld verison? Smh. Also what i dont get is how the hell can the gamecube handle the ic's but not the 3ds when the 3ds is more powerful???

If the 3ds version didn't exist the Wii u version would already be out AND have more content. Smdh.

Ridley was too big for the 3DS

I think the gamecube might have had more processor power, though

One thing I think people have to understand is that Japan is all about portable games. That's why they like Monster Hunter on 3DS. Smash Run was made for Japan, that's why it's local only. This is the reason why Sakurai made the 3DS version the main priority.

I am so sick of this...

Oh look, another useless thread. Did you know the Wii U version wasn't even planned originally but they decided some people would prefer a bigger screen.

You people are spoiled, irrational jerks. Not a shred of appreciation is in your being is it? Sakurai could just not release Smash 4 at all!! You can deal with just 1 or 2 chara term cuts. Trust me. Its no big deal. Stop whining. And be happy with what you have.

I would've preferred wii u only (or if sakurai didn't have the mindset that they have to have the same roster). But I think it's completely understandable as to why they made a 3ds version. Wish 3ds didn't kill ice climbers though.

As customers we have every right to complain as long as it's justified. Sakurai isn't handind out freebies, he is selling a product.

O look another misinformed person. To this day i dont see where the hell people are getting this from. Even if sakurai never originally intended for their to be a wii u version the fact is that was NEVER going to fly with nintendo.

When nintendo officialy announced the new smash BOTH versions were announced at the same time. Never has there been a time where only the 3ds version was announced. So whatever thought process sakurai originally had is irrevelant.

Sakurai flats out confirms the 3ds version held the wii u version back and people are in here defending it. Smdh.

If that's the case, wouldn't it bother you to consider that the 3DS version could've had a lot more content before it was broken off and put into the Wii U version?
