When the stages are different what is preventing them from making Ice Climbers a WiiU only feature? Its not like the game is going be cross-platform-play anyway (was cancelled)

Both games also have different single player modes.

I wonder the same. Also, what is so bad about the moveset of Ice Climbers, that they require more horsepower? Maybe Namco can add it as a DLC on WiiU (with other stuff, like the MK8 DLC).

Well since ice climbers is practically 2 characters   its basically 5 players on screen when 1 player plays them and then think about 4 players picking the ice climbers then you have 8 characters on screen and then some pokemon and assist trophies etc....

I somewhat can see how that can be problematic especially when being online.
