Will the 3DS Version Be Inferior? (In terms of quality! Not sales!)

[Mega Bidoof]

I haven't seen any threads that are explicitly based on this question, so I guess I'll start one.

So, will the 3DS version of Smash be inferior to the Wii U one?

Personally, I think it will be, in a way.
I just have this feeling, that when I get Smash 3DS on launch date, I won't really feel like I'm playing Smash 4 until the Wii U version comes out. The gameplay seems fine, the characters and stages are awesome, but it just feels like it's not really Smash 4.

But I don't know why.
It's not the graphics or the art style or anything.

I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt, but does anyone else feel the same way?

Share your thoughts on how you think the 3DS version will stand up to the Wii U one.

 

[Raijinken]

I think the 3DS version will be able to stand on its own, at the very least until the U version comes out. Most accounts have said it feels fine to play on the 3DS, and many people will place great value on portability and Smash Run. I'm expecting that at worst, the 3DS version will be "Smash 4 Lite", and at best, the U's lack of Smash Run will lead to me preferring the 3DS version.

But it'll probably boil down to preference and what systems people already own. I don't have a U yet, so I'm going to treat 3D as the only version that matters until/unless I end up getting a U. Then they'll be treated as different games, and I'll work towards beating both and learning to play on both.

 

[Curious Villager]

Ah well, guess it's natural to be a bit skeptical whenever something different comes along....
A handheld Smash is something new so the experience will also probably be a bit different compared to what you're used to with previous installments.

I wouldn't call it "inferior" though, it has the exact same physics and gameplay compared to the Wii U version and it runs on 60 fps too and some of the other differences the two have are things that are probably a bit more on the subjective side in terms of how it would affect your enjoyment of the games. Things such as graphical quality and controller options are things I'm referring too.

If you're the type of person who mainly likes the highest quality graphics, larger screens or different control options (or just the Gamecube controller again) then perhaps the Wii U version is more up your ally. If you're the type of person who doesn't really care too much about the graphical quality or don't mind adapting to different control schemes and like the idea of a portable Smash than there isn't really much wrong with the 3DS version imo. (Besides I personally think the 3DS version looks good in it's own right anyway, and from what I've heard, the game play's just fine too)

And of course there are other things such as various game modes, collectibles, music and stages that will differ between the two versions. Overall, I think the 3DS version will be able to stand on its own just fine, with how much we have learned and seen from the 3DS version, it certainly won't be some low budged game that Sakurai and his team didn't take seriously.

Anyway, that's just my opinion on the matter (sorry, it came out longer than I was hoping it would). Hopefully we can discuss this in a mature way and won't have to start yet another 3DS vs Wii U war....

 

[strawhatninja]

Sakurai wants it to be a complete Smash experience, so I say will it stand on it's own very well. It will have all the same characters, but have unique stages and trophies.

 

[Crome]

Definitely. Once the Wii u version comes out the 3ds will be for friendlies. I can imagine going to a tournament and playing on your 3ds when no tvs are available. I know I won't be playing the 3ds as much once the Wii U's is released.

 

[TheDMonroeShow]

I feel a pretty similarly although I'm not sure if I'd call it inferior, considering it'll play pretty much identical. The 3ds version in my opinion will be able to stand fine on its own and it's gonna be great for portability.

That being said though other then portability(perhaps some cool stages as well) I think for the most part the wii u has a lot more going for it and I think it'll be considered the definitive version when people want to play smash 4 while the 3ds version is more personal.

 

[HoldMahBeer]

People ALWAYS need to find a reason to shun the 3DS version, don't they? What makes the Wii U version more superior the 3DS, exactly? The graphical and visual experience?

The bottom line is, these are both high quality Smash games in their own way. I don't see why everybody has to find a reason to nitpick about the 3DS version ALL of the time.


It's all a matter of personal preference really.

Because the 3ds version is focused more on 5 minute pick up and play game modes. The wii u version has a few things up its sleeve
1. Bigger, better dipslay
2. Only 1 console is needed
3. Better controls
While it's not a lot of things, they're pretty important when you're talking about a competitive fighting game.

i think you just answered your own question. It's preference and a lot of people prefer the gc controller controls and the graphical differences you mention. As well as sitting down with your m8s and playing on the big screen.

i don't really think people are shunning it, I mean most people are still buying it and i am personally very excited for it but like you said just a lot of people prefer what the wii u version is offering because there's more it's offering.

 

[ChikoLad]

Outside of personal preference stuff, I think the answer will be "yes and no". There are some objective points I can address, beyond graphics and such.

On one hand, no matter what you say about the 3DS version - local play is much more limited from a technical standpoint. You need at least two 3DS systems to play multiplayer with your local friends or your family. There is no getting around that. And we don't know if this game will support Download Play yet, and if it doesn't, the issue is worsened. And even if it does have Download Play, anyone who isn't playing with a full copy will be getting the short end of the stick. Meanwhile, the Wii U version is going to be a lot cheaper and more accessible for local multiplayer. People can easily gather round for a few quick games.

On the other hand, we still don't know a lot about the Wii U version. While it's likely going to have most staple modes, I'll be honest - if it doesn't have a big new mode to complement Smash Run, I will be disappointed, and in a sense, I may end up preferring the 3DS version in terms of content. I know they want to hype up the 3DS version more right now, but I find it odd that the only significant feature of the Wii U version they have announced are the Amiibos, which will likely become available in the 3DS version next year anyway. So far, we only know of the basic Smash modes and the online. Those are the only modes we've seen. We know there will be trophies, but we don't know how they will be acquired. And we know about My Music, but I consider that a tertiary perk rather than a selling point.

While this point likely means nothing in hindsight, the Wii U version honestly does seem underwhelming if we assume that it only has what we currently know of. I know it will have more, I just hope it doesn't fall on Amiibos as the sole new feature. I love the Amiibos, but I want an actual, big new game mode that is involving even in singleplayer, but multiplayer is still an option. Subspace Emissary was this for me in Brawl, and Smash Run will be this on 3DS. So I want something like this on Wii U too. While I have a dream idea for a campaign mode for Wii U, I'd be happy with anything that isn't just regular Smash matches, and is involving.

So from a hype standpoint, I think the 3DS version might have an edge right now, but from a technical and multiplayer viability standpoint, the Wii U version is winning right now.

 

[Raijinken]

So from a hype standpoint, I think the 3DS version might have an edge right now, but from a technical and multiplayer viability standpoint, the Wii U version is winning right now.

The point about price and accessibility is double edged, though, as currently there are more 3DS owners than Wii U owners in general, and particularly when you get to the older crowd (college and older) and don't have as many cases of shared systems with siblings and other family, the cost of a 3DS + Smash is cheaper than a U + Smash. From an accessibility standpoint, generally speaking the people most into Smash are people who own it and can play it frequently and on their own time. So while it'll definitely be great when people can go hang out with friends and use the U version for the larger-screen experience, the price barrier will be higher for people wanting to get their own copy of the U version than the 3DS version.

 

[BindingBlade]

Nope, the Wii U will be inferior as most of it's resources seem targeted at console-level production and amiibo while the 3DS seems more polished and more complete - see the recent surge of 3DS pics and the new trophy mode. Yum!

 

[warionumbah2]

let me bring some facts to the table and shed some light up in here.

which console is benefiting nintendo the most? 3DS

which console is owned by the most people? 3DS

which is cheaper to buy? 3DS why? cause almost everyone already owns a 3DS unlike the Wii U so less money out their pockets.

this generation is smarter, we ain't gonna waste our money on one game, we won't buy a console for one game.

But the point of Smash's multiplayer features is that you can gather anyone to your home and play. 3DS doesn't have this. Everyone needs to spend money on their own system and their own copy of the game. And there are a lot of cases where people won't mutually own the game or even the system.

This isn't an issue with the Wii U because all one needs are the multiple controllers, and if someone expects to have gaming friends over often, they will have the controllers and it's all around more worth it because buying four 3DS's and four copies of the game is going to cost a fortune. While everyone could just pool together and spend money on the Wii U, game, and necessary controllers, and that would be cheaper, especially if they already have the controllers.

I don't think it'll be inferior. We've been wanting a handheld Smash since the beginning and it's finally happening.

 

[BindingBlade]

It's such a huge game that unless you wanted ~12 or ~16 characters in a DS version it wouldn't be possible.

More people owning a console doesn't make it a better console..are you telling me the wii was better then the gamecube? Not to mention there's plenty of amazing games for the Wii U.

We're seeing more of the 3ds version because it's coming out first so their focusing on hypeing it up while saving the Wii U stuff for after the 3ds's release. It's not gonna be more polished, the Wii U is technically getting more development time so if any one's gonna be more polished its the Wii U

 

[BindingBlade]

If you want to go that route, the 3DS version was the first one started so the time factor makes little difference. How much of that time will be "wasted" on the physical DLC figures amiibo? Quite a bit probably. It's a doozy of a thing to implant, ask Activision or Avalanche.

 

[Soul.]

This game is not inferior, lol. Smash 3DS will be a full Smash game with all the same modes a console Smash game would have.
The game apparently "doesn't" feel like a Smash game because it's on a handheld. It's supposed to bring a new experience to the player.
I really don't think there is a "definitive" version. This game and the Wii U one are the definitive versions, not one. Players are still going to play the 3DS version even if the console version is out. The Wii U version has the features it has because it's a console game.
In the end, I can see both games being viable competitive games and that's what matters.

 

[warionumbah2]

Its the better console for nintendo. They can make a game for the 3DS and be confident on its success while the Wii U they always have to make games knowing they won't make a difference to the sales.

The wii is better than(in terms of being successful) the gamecube why do you think the gamecube died? cause obviously it wasn't doing something right.

That is your opinion i go with facts, fact is these 'amazing games' aren't helping the Wii U. Fact.

I never said more people owning a console makes it better your shoving words in my mouth to begin a whole new topic. I clearly stated that its more successful at bringing money for nintendo.

 

[LIQUID12A]

such 3ds racism, jeez

The 3DS version has it's own legs to stand on when it comes to comparison. Portable Smash Bros and Smash Run is great, but I don't expect it to get the tournament significance that the Wii U version will get. Sure, SDCC gave us a glimpse of what that would play like, but that attempt was flawed. However, that doesn't mean that it's impossible.

Either way, I feel this question shouldn't be asked. I have no issue with the thread and opinions, mind you, but contrasting different versions on systems meant to do different things is a little unfair.

So you're saying Mario 3D land was better than 3D world. Mk7 better than 8.
That logic is so backward it's astounding.
Well I'm leaving its thread, the level of straw grasping is as big as the Mewtwo thread.

While everyone could just pool together and spend money on the Wii U, game, and necessary controllers, and that would be cheaper, especially if they already have the controllers.

While I agree all of that is feasible, I've never met a group willing to pool resources when they could have to split later. Heck, deciding with my brother which of us gets which of our NES, SNES, and N64 is a pain in and of itself. And a lot of that depends on people's schedules and how close they live. Something like that wouldn't work at all out where I live, since there's hardly anyone around here who games at all, and most who do have very different schedules. For situations like that, the 3DS version is better, as it's a cheaper investment on the individual level.

We're already planning on a friend of mine bringing his U our suite at college when the U version comes out, since none of the rest of us have a U. And of course, unless he suddenly just starts crashing at our place each night and leaving it there, it's going to limit all our play (well, would if we didn't have the 3DS version), or give whoever keeps the system around the most access and thus practice. While players' schedules will already cause that, it's easier to adjust to if you have your own system, which is more true of 3DS owners than U owners right now.

In short, I have not seen it work well in practice to keep a group at comparable skill when only a subset of the group has regular access to the system. While we all own a 3DS and at most two of my group own a U, the 3DS is the better solution for us. But no one I know has ever been willing to "share" a game system with anyone other than a sibling via contributing money to a community resource. None of us have the money to sink into something that might not end up belonging to us in the long run.

tl;dr College students won't split a system when they may never see each other after a year, safer to get their own 3DS versions. Families/long term living arrangements don't have this issue. Thus, I hope the 3DS version is at least similar in content level to the U version, so as to be able to stand on its own without its owners simply wishing they had the U version instead.

Let me break it down for you cause your slow, i'm a patient person to a certain extent.You're inferring that i think games on a console is better based on sales, your inference is wrong as i'm stating how successful the 3DS version will be based on facts never did i state that the 3DS smash will be better and where did these other games come from?

Notice how the games you listed weren't released in the same year giving Nintendo time to improve. Did i say they'll make it specifically better? Your implemented rubbish in my post so you can poke holes into my post due to how impossible it is to counter raw facts, straw gasping now i feel insulted. Don't try to act like you know your stuff when your gonna bail this thread right after with a mediocre excuse about straw grasping if anything you're grasping at straws since your desperately finding an excuse to leave this post.

Your whole post was you making an incorrect assumption thus you wasting your time typing and posting this. You did the exact same thing as the last guy pal.

Technically yes, there's no denying that.

Some people will probably prefer the stages, Smash Run, or trophies though.

Just like the amount of people who own the console, the price doesn't effect the quality.

This is a thread about the quality of the two versions, not about which one is "cheaper for you," or "will leave you with more money in your pockets."

If you're not going to discuss the actual quality of the game, and which version is a better game, I'll have to ask you to leave.

Personally I play my 3DS more than my WII U so while I have more prefrence toward the 3ds version, I do not think either version is inferior toward the other.

Everything you've said so far just seems to be based around the 3ds has a bigger install base and will sell more. Which i mean is true but has nothing to do with the games quality. The 3ds version of sonic lost world sold less but is considered to be far worse then the console version but most.

Please don't resort to name calling, and attacking others. Maybe we both assumed that because it's what you sound like your saying? This is a topic about the whether the 3ds version is inferior and you came in stating sales facts. So naturally we would assume you brought it up as reasoning that it's not inferior.

Since when were sales relevant?

Also, because of price of software the Wii U version clearly benefits Nintendo more, lol. UMAD?

And you think full grown men who know how to juggle their money and spend it on things that matters on a console for one game. nah bruh i can see people asking their parents to do it for them, it'll gain sails but trust me you'll still see the Wii U in the same pitiful state its currently in.

And how does the amount of people that own the console make a difference in the quality of the game?

It doesn't i'm strictly talking about the sales and how its going to benefit Nintendo, i'm looking at it from a companies point of view and the 3DS will not be inferior as its benefiting Nintendo the greatest.

Just like the amount of people who own the console, the price doesn't effect the quality.

Never said it does.

This is a thread about the quality of the two versions, not about which one is "cheaper for you," or "will leave you with more money in your pockets."

Title says otherwise its talking about which version will be superior. I won't talk about the game itself as we don't even know what the U version has in store so i went with the facts the sales and how it'll help Nintendo.

If you're not going to discuss the actual quality of the game, and which version is a better game, I'll have to ask you to leave.
And this goes for all of you, not just him.

I'm on topic pal, i've come to a conclusion that the 3DS version will be greater going with what i presented. i'll leave but if you keep replying i'll come back.

No they're not.
Our generation is a generation of idiots. Haven't you ever heard of "The Downfall of American Youth"?

In terms of knowing what they wanna buy we have became smarter, why do you think the Wii U isn't doing well cause people look at the games it has then looks at other consoles then bam they go for the other. What does youth has to do with this?

So much wrong with this post...oh my god...

Since when were sales relevant?

Also, because of price of software the Wii U version clearly benefits Nintendo more, lol. UMAD?

Not going through this again read my posts, you're all interpreting it wrong. Defo not gonna explain to you who thinks i'll get 'mad' over a video game forum. there's way more things in this world to get mad at but a video game? No.

How immature do you think i am?

Oh hey, you're out right insulting me. That's cool, it shows how smart you are. You seem to be in the wrong mindset here, the 3ds version may sell better than the wii u version, because you are right that it has a larger install base. But we're talking about core gameplay here. Smash bros for 3ds isn't gonna show up at evo anytime soon.
Notice how the games you listed weren't released in the same year giving Nintendo time to improve. Did i say they'll make it specifically better?

The 3ds version was in development before e wii u version, and is coming out a solid 2-3 months before the wii u version.
In your post (that I replied to) you said the 3ds version was gonna be better, and your only reasons were "3ds' are cheaper and have a larger install base" again, I think you should read up what "inferior" means, and read the OP again.

Your whole post was you making an incorrect assumption thus you wasting your time typing and posting this. You did the exact same thing as the last guy pal.

'share your thoughts guys' shared my thoughts then i get 3 replies while replying to one post.

In terms of gameplay they both look identical, but as i said i'm looking at it from nintendo's point of view and formed a conclusion on that.

Don't like it then just don't reply cause you guys are saying the same thing over and over, same post from different people.

Please don't resort to name calling, and attacking others. Maybe we both assumed that because it's what you sound like your saying?

He came at me saying i'm grasping at straws. But i agree i went too far.

 

[Tino]

Depends on what you really mean by "inferior". From what I've seen the, 3DS version looks just as great as the Wii U version is mainly because it has some of my favorite stages on there (my favorites are 3D Land, Pac-Maze and Arena Ferox) and Smash Run looks like a lotta fun to play on, in which surely I'll spent a lotta time on giving all the enemies the beating of a lifetime and collecting power ups to use in battle. xD

 

[Mega Dunsparce]

I see you're all waiting down there waiting for someone to say "the 3ds is cheaper which means it's better" or "the Wii U costs more and is better for nin10doh"

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Personally I play my 3DS more than my WII U so while I have more prefrence toward the 3ds version, I do not think either version is inferior toward the other. However the versions do have conflicting appealing factors to me such as, the 3ds' portability, the Wii U's online play, which makes me believe both versions are equal.

Actually, the 3DS does have online play too, just like the Wii U version.

Here is a list I comprise of the positives that each version has:

3DS:
- Portability (Smash in the car, Smash at a friend's house, Smash in the bathroom! Smash anywhere!)
- Smash Run
- The advantages of having your own screen (being able to choose your outline thickness, being able to set the outline color show your team color instead of having of your character's palette, etc.)

Wii U:
- Stunning HD visuals, and better graphical quality overall (I think it has a better framrate).
- Having the same nostalgia feel of previous Smash games (with you and your friends on a couch, playing Smah on the TV).
- Whatever the Smash Run equivalent is for Wii U (I'd guess something like Melee's Adventure Mode).
- Amiibo at launch (though the 3DS will have an attachement later on).

Not to mention, each version will have its own stages, assist trophies, and trophies.

And the Wii U version will have that stage where Ridley is a Stage Boss and not playable.

Amiibo at launch (though the 3DS will have an attachement later on).

Official or speculation? And if official, source?

Oh hey, you're out right insulting me. That's cool, it shows how smart you are. You seem to be in the wrong mindset here, the 3ds version may sell better than the wii u version, because you are right that it has a larger install base. But we're talking about core gameplay here. Smash bros for 3ds isn't gonna show up at evo anytime soon.

Sorry if that made you cry i apologies and i was wrong for doing so. You don't know that, we might see Smash for the Wii U pop up one year then get the shaft the next due to people not liking it. I don't want to go down the assumption road cause my fingers are hurting for posting so much so i'm planning on ending here.

The 3ds version was in development before e wii u version, and is coming out a solid 2-3 months before the wii u version.
In your post (that I replied to) you said the 3ds version was gonna be better, and your only reasons were "3ds' are cheaper and have a larger install base" again, I think you should read up what "inferior" means, and read the OP again.

Larger install base is what makes it less inferior to the other version, the gameplay looks similar so i see no point in posting about it when we haven't touched the game.

PS to other users: Won't reply for tonight as my fingers are aching.
