Smash 3DS How "Limiting" is the 3DS? - Kotaku Article

[JetpackX]

The 3DS is powerful, but not as powerful to handle a roster of over 45 characters. Like Shokio said, its about how much complexity each character has. If the Ice Climbers get cut, they'll probably only be on the Wii U version instead of the 3DS version. I personally wouldn't mind if some characters get cut... as long as its not Meta Knight and Toon Link and my Jigglypuff

Character files are tiny. There are fighters on 3DS with more than forty-five characters. There will be no version-exclusive characters. And if Olimar is in, I think ICs probably will be too.

I'd be surprised if they couldn't get IC's to work on 3DS.

They might just have one Climber. Haha. That is essentially what they did to Olimar.

Edit: These character went from Top tier to Bottom tier.

We don't know what they did to Olimar yet though.

That might've been the reason. Out of every "Olimar Guide" I've hear of, it sounds like you just C-stick forward and win.

I read your article recently. I agree with your points... people love to hate on Nintendo.

"Nintendo didn't change, the WORLD did!!"

This article and thread was very informative to go over =) I was honestly a little worried but now I know better ^^

I think the main reason Sakurai wants to have less than more is for performance of the game over all. I mean he seems like a perfectionist. So he wants the most content without the performance being affected even slightly.I don't see an issue with the Wii U version having extra characters or both games having DLC.
