Subjective, Anomalridley. You don't have to get both—you get all the same characters in either. The different versions now are just a difference in some stages, some graphics, and that one game mode.

I still suspect that the people who could afford it would go Wii U. It's bigger and more party-like anyway.

I was considering buying Wii U first and 3DS later once the hype for Wii U version settled down, but now that there's half a year between them it's totally infeasible. Not to mention there's no way in hell I'll be able to go that time without being spoiled by the 3DS version's roster, and I'll feel behind once I finally get the Wii U version when everyone else had the 3DS version for months.

Ugh.

And I never said it wasn't subjective. I'm expressing my disappointment, not some magic objective, universal one.

[up][up]Well, yeah, but with the Wii U version coming months later and with far more people who already have a 3DS, and a Smash Bros for it with all the same characters...it seems like the people who are willing to buy two different versions of the same game, and have both systems already, may be just about the only ones interested in getting the Wii U version.

I'm still wanting full versions now. If only because I graduate college somewhere around summer and I might be able to get back to the fun things in life...

Video games are an investment—in time, money, and your loyalty to the companies who make them. [lol]

HA, my poor sorry ass was only ever going to afford the 3DS version and now I get it first.

Not to mention I'm going to have to deal with that. The 3DS-preferrers rubbing it in my face that I either have to wait until winter or cave in and ruin my later experience.

Dang it Sakurai! All you had to do was extend your arms and say "Directly to you!" You're trolling me in ways that aren't even intentional! I guess I shouldn't gripe about a Double Bingo.

Yikes, this direct really did a number on my character bingo card, with one of the characters outright disconfirmed and at least three made much less likely. I doubt he'd remove Ice Climbers, though... Right?

Also, I totally called Smash Run mode.

Anom, you could just avoid forums talking about it when it comes out and all. And you never had to get both games anyway. If other people talking about preferring one game over the other will ruin it for you...well, that's a bit silly, to say the least.

Of course, theoretically, the games could come out relatively close to each other, like in August and late November or early December.

I sure said that!

@Broc Yes. Games are getting expensive and sometimes people can't afford every system.

That Nintendo puts their game on both systems allows people who don't get the other to still play Super Smash Bros.

Maybe not all of it, but a whole lot.

@Fawful: From what someone posted earlier, I think he did say "directly to you", but the interpreter missed it.

"Disappear from the entire internet"? Do you only visit forum threads about Smash on the internet?

And you said "The 3DS-preferrers rubbing it in my face". Like, if people are that petty, don't let it get to you.

[up]x4 He did the Hand signal that Iwata always does when he says "Directly to you" and he was talking but the translator said Smash Bros. Direct instead of directly to you.

@Pulse: November isn't really part of winter though...

@Keybreak: Right, and the fact that the 3DS version didn't bother me so much. But I suspect the fact that the 3DS version is being released earlier will cause a number of people who might've gotten the Wii U version otherwise to simply not bother and get the 3DS version instead.

[up][up][up][up]Doesn't mean there's not going to be some asshat somewhere who goes "OH HEY ____ IS IN SMASH BROS GUIZ. DID YOU KNO?" Or someone using spoiler content as an avatar or what have you.

And what I mean is that now, in addition to having to wait for the Wii U version, I have to put up with people mocking me for it. It's a minor issue since I barely regard other people anyway, but it's still a small nuisance on top of everything else.

Well I didn't mean to be rubbing it anyone's face.

Just happy because I won't be able to get a Wii U for a long time if not ever. Feels nice to not be the one left behind now.

[up][up][up]I mean, generally those people are easy enough to ignore, but either way, if you've been following the Pics of the Day/Miiverse posts, you're probably already spoiled on stuff anyway, so I'm not sure that really matters much. Maybe it's just me, but if a game doesn't have a story, I don't feel like spoilers are as big of a deal. As for avatars and such, what could possibly be enough of a spoiler that someone could put as their avatar? I don't get the logic here.

And what I mean is that now, in addition to having to wait for the Wii U version, I have to put up with people mocking me for it.
If someone mocks you for that, they're an asshole, plain and simple.

@Beorc November might not be in Winter in the real world but in the corporate world November is Q4 which is always treated as Winter. But if they said Q4 instead of Winter than it could have been as early as October.

I mean hidden content like secret characters and such. I want to go in unspoilered for once, and now I can't.

And I already assume pretty much everyone is an asshole. That doesn't make them less annoying, it just proves cause.

Rewatching the Charizard/Greninja trailer, I noticed Link had the Gale Boomerang. Guess that's coming back.
