I thought were talking about the casuals here, casuals don't care about the pro controller.

And casuals don't give a sh$# about the price. If money was an issue Skylanders wouldn't be flyin off the muthaf$#@$#% shelves.

If casuals don't care about the price then this whole thread is pointless... oh wait it is pointless.

You do realize they are discontinuing the basic in most places, GameStop most notable.iwata has already said that more people are going for delux.
You shouldn't assume what version will be the better experience yet. If the Wii u got a $70 price cut, maybe. As it stands It is indeed cheaper to buy two 3ds systems and 1 smash to download play.

I'd be hard pressed to think that a handheld can give a better experience than home console for Smash Bros. And this is coming from the guy who isn't getting a Wii U.

1. Download Play is quite likely to limit what you can do in smash but since this isn't really something we know much about yet I'll just leave it at that
2. In your hypothetical situation maybe, but if we add more people to this equation it instantly starts stacking up in the wii u's favor.
3. Though it is true we will not be able to discover which version will be better just yet and the 3DS certainly does have its advantages like the lower prices for individual consoles and portability but wii u has its advantages too such as:
A. a large amount of controller options which in theory would mean you'd be more likely to find a controller to suit your taste and no matter which way you cut it stuff like the pro controller simply provides more options, the 3DS has about as many buttons as the wiimote+nunchuck controller unless you buy a circle pad pro.
B. Better graphics on a larger screen, smash does great as a party game and the way I see it it's better to have a bunch of people share one large screen then keeping to themselves staring at their individual small screens
C. Ummm other stuff that may or may not end up happening, who knows maybe the stage list on the wii u version is better xD

I'll give you a preview of the response you'll get:
But, it's cheaper, portable, and only needs one copy to play! You have no proof it won't be a better experience on 3DS!

The basic is still available to purchase in some places so that statement is untrue... And even so, people are buying the deluxe bundle because it's a better value than the basic model. So tell me, if the deluxe bundle is a better value than the basic model, and the basic + Smash is a better value than two 3ds systems and 1 smash to download play, then how is the deluxe + Smash not a better value than two 3ds systems and 1 smash to download play? Answer: It is a better value. For only $30 more you get a full retail game that normally costs $60 (Nintendo Land), extra memory and extra accessories. Plus you can go up to 4 players at no extra cost, unlike the 3DS.

One Wii U deluxe = $350
+ Nintendo Land (Costs $60 at retail)= $0
+ 4x memory of basic model = $0
+ GamePad Cradle, GamePad Stand, Console Stand = $0
+ Smash (Up to for players at no extra cost) = $410
One Wii U basic = $300
+ Smash (Up to for players at no extra cost) = $360
Two 3DS systems = $340
+ One copy of Smash (Two players through download play) = $380
In terms of value:
Deluxe + Smash > Basic + Smash > Two 3DSs + Smash
+ Nintendo Land (Costs $60 at retail)= $0
+ 4x memory of basic model = $0
+ GamePad Cradle, GamePad Stand, Console Stand = $0
+ Smash (Up to for players at no extra cost) = $410
One Wii U basic = $300
+ Smash (Up to for players at no extra cost) = $360
Two 3DS systems = $340
+ One copy of Smash (Two players through download play) = $380
In terms of value:
Deluxe + Smash > Basic + Smash > Two 3DSs + Smash

It's an objective fact that the Wii U is a piece of ****.

Young padawan, you seem to a forgotten the happenings of the "E3". Xbox One is the literal incarnate of feces now.

Still love Swiss tournaments on the 3DS.
How's about this: both have advantages and disadvantages that make them optimal experiences for different people?

This would certainly be a fair assessment. But I am an uneducated idiot would you care to elaborate on the concept of swiss tournaments why they're good and why only the 3DS version can have them?

OK I got lazy and stopped reading a few paragraphs in but since I likely won't be going more competitive then kicking ass online it's not my problem but again KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT

Don't forget that even the Zombie U pack has an extra pro controller for the same price as the Nintendo Land pack.

If the 3DS and Wii U versions of SSB4 have bundles, their pro controllers should look a little like this...

I am not gonna get the Wii U version. The only reason I would play it would be if a friend gets it, or if my family gets a Wii U, and Smash will be the only game I would want to play on that console. 3DS is what I am sticking with, and I would rather play it on that than a Wii U. This is only my preference, and I don't believe that it is the right way to look at it.
That being said, I would like to say that neither version is gonna be better than the other. Sure, one has this, and the other has that, but this is all opinion. The 3DS will have more people using it, but the Wii U is more of a party game (there are other stuff too, but I am too lazy to write it all). Also, lets say money doesn't matter. It just depends on what you want.
It could be how your life is. If you are usually away from your house, the 3DS would be a better fit. If you are usually at home, the Wii U would be better. I don't see why graphics are much of a problem. It never seems to come up in a Melee VS Brawl argument, so why bring it up here?

Lol, there's no way Smash is gonna have download play. Did Mario Kart 7 or Kid Icarus: Uprising have it? No. So two smash copies.

What? Really? I could have sworn they did.... This is news to me....
The only 3DS game I know doesn't have download play is Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.... :/
Edit: Yeah Mario Kart 7 does have Download Play. Kid Icarus Uprising apparently doesn't which I apparently never noticed...

Mario Kart 7 has it, Kid Icarus doesn't. But Smash probably will be more memory intensive, so I wouldn't be surprised if they skip it.

MK7 did!? >:I Then I stand corrected.

I thought the discussion ended when we all figured out both games have advantages and disadvantages, and you should pick the one better suited for you?
/thread (again )
Seriously people, BOTH games have good, bads, advantages, and disadvantages. Pick what is best for you and buy it. That's the answer here.

Smash will always be a console experince for me playing on a tv with friends and online the 3ds isn't on my radar if i do get it for 3ds it will be just when i'm at school.

Nothing beats the feeling of sitting in front of the TV with your friends, just smashing around and having fun. The 3DS is a good handheld console, but other than the fact that it looks like the 3DS version is slower and the graphics of course aren't as nifty there's just a bigger community for Smash in the console world. It's also so much easier to bring your friends over to play Smash Bros and just play on a single console, instead of having each one buy a 3DS for it, that quickly becomes much more expensive than buying a single Wii U. I personally will have no use for the 3DS version other than taking it with me on trips, besides that no one else I know has a 3DS or plans to get one for Smash Bros, not even my brother who I primarily play Smash with, so for me it's actually necessary to get the Wii U version to get any fun out of it, plus there's a lot of great Wii U games on the horizon too, not to mention recently released ones like Pikmin 3, so Smash Bros certainly isn't the only reason to buy a Wii U, just as well as it isn't the only reason to buy a 3DS.
To me, Smash Bros will always be a console experience, and while it's wrong of me to view the 3DS version as nothing but a bonus that's just how I view it, it just seems less exciting in pretty much every way.

Wii U Smash is likely to come out several months before the 3DS version, and timed exclusivity means a lot to a starved fanbase. Also, it is cheaper in the long run, you just need one console and one game as opposed to needing 4 consoles and 4 copies or Smash.

Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned, but Smash is really hard on controllers at a competitive level...
I went through like 6 or 7 GCN controllers throughout Melee... So having the pro controller $30-50 as opposed to having to buy a whole new 3ds is reason enough..
Not to mention being easier to see, easier to control, better graphics, likely better multiplayer options, etc.

More like a Wii U trash talk thread.

Reasons:
-The multiplayer aspect for casuals.
(Assuming that you don't already have a Wii U or 3DS. If you want to play the new smash bros. with some friends what are you going to do? By a wii u so that all of you can play together with you, or expect all of your friends to buy a 3DS so that you can play with you...?)
-Online Play
(Self-explaintory)
-Graphics
(although they dont really matter to causals there a big decision.)
Lastly I know 2 different people that are buying a Wii U only for Smash Bros. Im sure there are others out there with the same mind set. I bought a Wii U for Smash Bros. every-other game I get is just a Bonus IMO.
