I don't think the 3DS version will be the definitive Smash Bros. Graphics have nothing to do with it, it's the controls. Console Smash simply has better controls than the handheld version. The circle pad isn't ideal. Plus, multiplayer, which is obviously a big reason to get Smash Bros. The only way to play MP with friends is if everyone has a 3DS, and can be annoying to setup even if everyone does. It's also not the most fun way to play with your friends in one room. None of that's an issue for the console version, and will still make it a worthwhile purchase. As for if it will still sky rocket Wii U sales, I don't know, but I don't think the 3DS version will impact the Wii U version's sales all that much. I've even seen a lot of people skipping the 3DS version because they know the Wii U version is going to be the superior version and they'd rather just get that.

Listen to this man.  Smash bros graphics have been good enough since Melee.  It's one game where it is all about the controls.

Personally I played the 3DS version and knew immediately that I was not going to be double dipping, I would be waiting for the Wii U version.  The controls aren't quite there for me, it's hard on the small screen and local multiplayer just can't be the same.

Why thank you. :P

I've been playing the 3DS version non-stop, but I'm playing it more to whet my appetite for the Wii U version because I know that will be the one I'll enjoy more. The circle pad just does not do the game justice. My plan was always going to be to get both versions of the game though. The existence of the handheld version had no impact on whether I'd be getting the console version or not.
