I love having Smash on the go that means I can kick my brothers butt on the go and epicly getting myself killed somehow.......Cause Link's recovery is kind of sucky.....Yea...............I love it especially if were going to places like Norfolk just pop out my 3DS and boom I jut don't stop playing it :D I kind of want a 3DS XL for Smash because of Better battery life which means more gameplay :D and other stuff to.....
3DS will definitely have a competitive scenen.
u know when u see him...........u know **** just got real!
People just assume that it can't be done because they have the traditional way glued into their head. Even though the 3DS has been shown to be able to have easier tournaments. Also the fact that Nintendo makes the best handhelds shows that Smash is fated to become a handheld only game in the future.Why would 3ds not have a competitive scene ;D
Glued into there head eh? Well i'm about to glue something new to there head :>................U know wat it's 3:00 AM here i'm pretty tired..................and when my crappy jokes kick in
I don't think local multiplayer would be a problem, especially when it is most likely gonna be 1v1. A simple game like Smash shouldn't cause lag, unless you go with characters like IC's or Oimar and go in stages where a bunch of stuff happen.
Well, that doesn't make any sense to me.
Might it not make much sense to you... because the game isn't out yet?People actually HATE the 3DS version of Smash 4??

Of course what you said wouldn't make any sense...
To add on to my very first post in this topic, since this topic is amazingly still alive. People also irrationally think the 3DS version is just holding back stuff in general from the console version. Even though generally the so called "proof" they try to use is just a misunderstanding of what was actually said, twisting Sakurai words, or taking what the interviewer speculated over towards the end of said interview when the interviewee never said such a thing. I guess people just don't like to read correctly still.
I kind of am too (I arrived late and didn't comment until now) but I'll just say that the price constraint thing for me is backwards - I have a 3DS because I wanted one but never had a reason to buy a Wii U (back when Wiis were hot I wanted a Wii because of like 5 games and two of them were Melee and Brawl). So I can drop $50/whatever the price will be ($50 would be high but I'd pay it) for handheld Smash, even if it's not "competitive" or whatever (I want to be competitive, no doubt) just because I enjoy the game (it's why I have this trashy SSB emulator on my computer even though I can't short-hop XD). I think I would actually be part of the audience Sakurai is appealing to - people who think Smash is/looks cool and have a 3DS but don't want to drop money for a Wii U. At the same time I can understand the idea that data constraints might hold back the Wii U so I can't necessarily dislike people who say the Wii U is being held back. I don't have enough info on that particular debate to comment but I always want high performance and if someone thinks the game is compromised to try to increase profits, I'm not going to be mad at them for voicing an opinion (although I have no problem informing them of why their argument is irrational). Personal opinion (not too informed): given the comments Sakurai made about hand-held stuff, it seems like Sakurai would just try to make a good 3DS game and then scale up graphics for the Wii U game - in that regard the Wii U is more of a tag-along "yay we get the game too" instead of "boo the 3DS holds us back", but people don't seem to think of it this way.mimgrim said:
I'd agree with this. The Golden Sun games, more notably on GBA, showed how developers could push the hardware and deliver an experience similar to that of a handheld. During that era, Gamecube (if we're just comparing Nintendo systems) had a HUGE lack off good RPGs, let alone any. I also think the 3DS version will have limitations, but with these limitations, the way it actually "plays" could be different from the Wii U version. By that I mean mainly the physics.
Why is that?I'm getting both versions.
And I find it ridiculous that anyone legitimately thinks the 3DS version will "hold back" the Wii U version.
To have Smash on the go, to be able to play in bed or on the bus. Also for the customization aspect, the connectivity between the two versions. Additionally, they'll have different stages and probably different game modes, and I want to experience both. Plus since I have a 3DS and a Wii U already, I won't have to buy a new console or anything.
I meant your second notion.
Oh.
Ah, I see. Thank you for that elaboration. I agree to an extent. Everything you said has a rational basis; however, I think one of the inherent premises is that it WILL take development time away from the Wii U version. Not because it is inferior, not because there isn't enough time, not because it needs any special work. I mostly believe so because it literally requires another team or time focused on its development. That is all I am really getting at. I hope that the 3DS version is great, it is the one I am going to be playing solo for the majority of the time. I am very curious to see some of the differences upon launch. So I don't want it to fail, but is obvious that the system cannot handle everything that the Wii U can handle. I am a little worried that they will cut some stuff that was just extra on the Wii U version just to accommodate the 3DS, nothing major, but I have that feeling. It is what most competent developers would do (within reason).
I think the workload was planned to be split from the start though. They have two separate teams who probably only share interactions with Sakurai in terms of working together. Maybe they will end up having to cut minor things from one version or the other, but it's always been very clear that the only things shared will be characters; I think both versions will have game modes and such that cater to the platform they're on. The Wii U version would likely have a more expansive adventure mode, for example, and would be planned that way from the start, rather than attempting an ambitious story on the weaker system.
Wait, I thought the Wii U version wasn't going to have an adventure mode? (Granted I heard about this in July, see: http://kotaku.com/the-next-super-smash-bros-wont-have-a-story-mode-or-c-906856304) However I do agree with you, Sakurai surely doesn't have a problem pushing back release dates as we all saw with Brawl haha. The one major difference I'm wondering about will be how will the 3DS make up for the screen size on a standard TV? I don't mean HD--whatever to that, really-- but let's think about some of the more elaborate stages we've seen in Smash history, like New prok City or the Temple stage from Melee. While neither of these are used in competitve play, they're still fun for casuals. I'm also concerned how the 3DS will be able to keep all four characters on the same screen without sacrificing visual quality. I'm not saying that the final product will be a mess or anything, but I am interested in how they plan to overcome these hurdles.
The Wii U version won't have another SsE, but I imagine it'll have an adventure mode like Melee's. Hopefully, anyway. They'll probably both have adventures, actually, but I'd imagine the Wii U's version would be much bigger.
Remember when I forgot how the 3DS had two screens? Yeah, me too. I never even thought about that, heh. That would be ideal! That also makes me think of the possibility of a stage that could span both screens, or an adventure mode that does something similar. And yes definitely agreeing with you on the stance Wii U's adventure will probably be more expansive. However, I can even imagine the two versions having different stories altogether.
Heh, well, it's not exactly standard for a system to have multiple screens.
Either way, the bottom screen would work pretty well. You wouldn't have to glance down much further than usual to see the HUD. There could probably be game modes that utilize both screens as well.
Heh, well, it's not exactly standard for a system to have multiple screens.
All you're doing is hitting Reply, right? And then typing outside the quoted area? I've never seen this problem before.
Yeah, time, coins, stamina, etc. would all be down there, I assume. Maybe there will be another fun trophy game!
