I just miss my MAINz! :( T_T



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

"- due to the required hardware power, the team couldn’t make them work in the 3DS game"
So this rumor is true! I guess the 3DS hardware is a more limited than I thought.

If you can point me to an article that backs this up I would love to see it.  (No sarcasm.)  I feel like I've watched every direct and I've scraped through every wiki and article I could find and could only find references to 3DS-exclusive modes and features, and absolutely zero Wii U-exclusive ones.  (I have no doubt that they'll be there, but not making them well-known this close to launch is foolish.)

Base modes are classic, and the for fun/ for glory modes if you are confused on that front. 

The Wii U version has had zero press about it other than what's shared with the 3DS version. 

The 3Ds and Wii U have exclusive stages to each other (which is why cross play wont happen).  The games will be virtually different, with the same base game

So...I was right.  At present, different stages are the only things that are different about the two titles beyond Wii U-exclusive modes that have been promised but not yet touched on.  There are currently no outright benefits to the Wii U version other than the graphics.  That might change if they reveal Wii U content that really blows us away, but my point still stands that they're potentially drawing customers away from the Wii U by making the 3DS version so appealing and ignoring the Wii U at present.  I don't know what's so unreasonalbe about believing that.

You're still wrong. Base game is not extended game. We don't know much about the Wii U version so you can't make your diliberations based on nothing. The 3DS version is hte inferior version, it only works correctly with the N3DS. The 3Ds version is hardly appealing to everyone. Besides the 3DS version has built in Wii U connectivity so to even get the full experience you have to buy both games. One version will not suffice here, It's not Pokemon.

I wonder of Snake is in their Wii U version.

I highly doubt it! I think Sonic, Mega Man and Pac-Man are going to be the only 3rd party chaarcters in Smash WiiU! :/

I'm still wrong on a theory/opinion that NEITHER of us can prove at present.  Right. 

Have a good one.
