Online multiplayer was confirmed, but I'm pretty sure cross-platform online multiplayer is a no.

We don't know what connectivity there will be between the two versions, but he's suggested it will be customizing characters on the 3DS and sending them over to Wii U.

...Yeah, I suppose I was just being a bit too hopeful that something like that would be possible. Ah well.

While I'm on the subject of the two versions though, I'm curious. Assuming you have the choice, which version are you people planning on getting first? I think I'd still get the 3DS version since I enjoy my handhelds a bit more than my consoles.

I don't currently have a Wii U, so guess.

I sure said that!

Wii U.

I really don't care much for a 3DS version. I'll probably get it in addition, but I vastly prefer console gaming.

Cross-platform play would be kind of impossible because the games have all different stages.

[up] Where was it confirmed every stage was different? I know some are. But that's a different statement.

I did say "if you had the choice", guys. I'm aware that some of us are simply stuck getting one version and was wondering what your first choice would be. tongue

And yeah, I remember a mention that there'll be some stage differences between versions, but that's it.

I guess it hasn't been confirmed that every stage is different. Although since they bothered to give Battlefield two radically different backgrounds, I'm guessing any stages that might be shared between the versions will still be distinct from each other. Assuming there are some identical stages between versions...cross-platform play would still be severely limited.

First choice is Wii U, but I'd like both.

I'm definitely getting the Wii U version. I might get the 3DS version later...I'm curious to see what the connectivity will be between them. I really wish we'd hear more about that...

So far, the whole customizable character(and from what I remember currently, it's just very similar to the Stickers in Brawl, that is, using current characters, but possibly adjusting a character attack direction here and there?) isn't well known or that interesting.

I still wouldn't mind having specific characters per version and having the same final roster.

One issue with Sakurai's wording is that he said "They'll have the same roster". That's... beyond vague and doesn't tell us a damn thing. Does it mean both rosters don't require you to connect to each other to unlock them all? Does it mean you have to connect? Both work with those words.

I get the feeling connecting to the other game will be a way to easy-unlock certain characters, but alternate methods will still be available.

I sure said that!

Wii U version, handily. I could be convinced to bite on the 3DS version, if it truly has the more robust single-player options compared to the Wii U version as rumored.

I think that saying they'll have the same roster mean they'll have the same roster. Is there any merit the the connectivity characters idea beyond paranoia?

#24842: Sep 23rd 2013 at 8:50:36 PM

That tells us absolutely nothing about how the roster is unlocked.

We know the end roster is the same for both games and that the characters have the same movesets between games.

We do not know how the roster is unlocked in each and until we do, it's anybody guess to how it'll be done. It's not paranoia, it's an entire lack of usable information.

I think customization will probably work along the lines of sticker-fixing from SSE: augmenting launch resistance, indirect specials, direct specials, elemental attacks, launching power, air speed, ground speed, swim time, etc.

I'll probably get the 2DS 3DS version because I'm not very inclined to get a Wii U but I can definitely see myself getting other games for the handheld system.

Cross-play is theoretically possible - Sony did with the PS 3 and Vita for their Smash ripoff - but the different stages for each version here do make that quite unlikely.

Suits my state of mind right now...

The Vita and the PS3 are nearly identical internally, though, whereas the 3DS and Wii U are very different beasts.

Hence the theoretical - the hardware alone, as you pointed out, is quite different for the U and 3DS. Then add in the different stages and you get something that COULD happen but is quite unlikely to.

Going back on the stage differences between the 3DS and Wii U versions: the 3DS will have stages based off of handhelds, while the Wii U will be based off of consoles. Hence the train ride from Spirit Tracks in the 3DS version and Skyloft in the Wii U version.

As for which version I'm getting, I'm probably getting both. I like watching the AI beat the crap out of itself and it doesn't seem like I will be able to do that on the 3DS version, but I will get the 3DS version first to make sure.

Keep in mind we have no idea if there will be any of the same stages between the games. We just know they will indeed have unique stages. I don't remember him saying "Neither game will have the same stages", so... again, vague statements shouldn't be taken too literally.

Battlefield and Final Destination are shoe-ins though.
