Online play depends on the connection, not because the home console is stronger than the handheld. So agreed.
Well, with Wii U you have the option of a wired connection at least.
I seriously doubt something like the Wii Lan Adapter is common these days....is it?
They planned the characters before development (Even Greninja who we didn't even know was in X and Y at the time) and we got all of them except IC, and it can still be possible to add them in even with some difficulties but decided they weren't high In priority. I'm assuming Items were also planned before development.
Not really. All of the game modes (Tickets, Classic, even SmashTour) are basically just normal Smash matches with different settings added to them. Other Smash games had you running through levels/mazes, break the targets, and even full Adventure Modes. I prefer the old-style Classic Mode but I wish they could have done something with actual levels or uniqueness. Nearly all the modes in Smash 4 can just be done in a normal smash match with changed settings.
Ok even so, how does the 3ds effect the Wii U game modes? I mean, they probably had a reason to get rid of target smash which is totally possible. The 3ds actually has those kinds of levels and mazes in smash run (including the final match such as run and climb) And I believe the Wii U lacks any of maze/levels unless you count Master Fortress. So I believe that there was a decision about having any kinds of levels like those for Wii U (Which also explains why some enemies are the same as on smash run except with a black tone). As for adventure, it's not the 3ds fault (heck the only real goal for the 2 versions was just characters while everything else can be different), but was because of spoilers.
3DS effects Wii U in that time had to be devoted to 3DS version instead of making a solid Wii U version that could have had more modes, characters, etc.
They would have gotten rid of the Wii U version before the 3DS version. Be glad there is a Wii U version to begin with, thank based Iwata for that.
The Wii U was such a failure because of a lack of good launch titles, and then the general disappointment became the norm. It's heavily underrated. Plus, the 3DS was netting tens of millions of sales. And right now it has a almost 11* te sales of the Wii U. If they made only 3DS, they wouldn't have sunk as a company, because they would have made the game better, like possibly far ore characters would be in. Better characters, better balancing... No actually, more time to make a game isn't that much better. Take Brawl for example. More time can be used to ruin a game.
I don't think timing has any real effect to it though. The amount of characters are already high and it has an average amount of "extra spaces". What I mean by that is how the roster expands in each game and I believe they wouldn't go any further than that originally. We can always get more characters by updates anyway *cough* Mewtwo *cough*.
People die ridiculously later because the blastlines are almost as big as the stage, but that's the only relevant difference.
Swimming is removed from the 3ds but you can still swim in the Wii U version. Do what you want with that information.
