It's not really the same game. Sakurai said there will be things that separate the two, Smash Run is a great example of this. And I would bet money that the Wii U version will have a special mode or two that's just for it.
The other thing is, who doesn't want to lay Smash Bros. on the go? You can play it at your house on the Wii U, realize it's time to go somewhere with your friends, then grab your 3DS and start playing again! Win....win!
In case you didn't know, I have a comic book called Guardians. I'm the writer/creator of it, and we have four issues out right now, with our fifth coming out soon!
We're also doing a Patreon right now for the comic, and I'd appreciate any and all help in getting it funded. If 56 people pledged $3 per issue, we'll be funded
