It makes sense from a perspective of helping 3DS, since the little console is down for the summer months around the world (aside from Kirby Triple Deluxe in the west)
The problem is that this will really hurt the hype for the Wii U version, largely because of identical rosters. Nintendo was just getting better about containing pre-release spoilers (the ninjas were out in force before Pokemon X and Y launched, presumably), so there could have been a real sense of pre-internet-spoils-everything-era magic with Smash For on Wii U
On the plus side, they're really convincing me to buy this on 3DS, when me buying 3DS version at all was a "maybe someday", it's rather ticked up to "probably yes", between the fact that it is first and that fascinating looking Smash Rush mode that's exclusive (I LOVED City Trial in Kirby Air Ride. That Smash Bros is getting an equivalent version makes me :D)
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
