Where did you hear that the Wii U version was an afterthought? I mean, didn't they announce both at the same time even before the Wii U was revealed? |
It's true. When Sakurai ended development on Kid Icarus: Uprising he wanted to explore the 3DS's capabilities even further. When Iwata asked Sakurai what console the next smash bros. would be on he originally said "3ds only" to "evolve" the series. Then sakurai ran into 3ds limitations quickly and realized how great Smash Bros. would look on a grand scale while eliminating some capability issues. And that is why we have 2 versions to further evolve Smash Bros. You can google Smash Bros 4/Wii U development and skim through articles. I'm posting on a 3DS so i cannot provide links as normal. sorry. :( I think Smash bros would have been better on Wii U only because now that time and resources are now being split between both versions. So things that the Wii U can easily pull off can't come to pass because its little, more popular brother can't do it. I hope content isn't skimpy because of this evolution.
