The question is: will I be able to get mewtwo even if I just have one version of Smash?

Probably not. They might even release more characters like this to sell both versions. I personally wouldn't mind, so long as they let you play against people online as Mewtwo who don't have the Mewtwo DLC.

But that would be unacceptable! You'd have to pay for a 3DS, a SSB3DS, a WiiU and a SSBWiiU just to get one character. That's a ton of money, even if they add 10 new characters. Releasing the fighters as individual DLC and allowing owners of both versions to get it all for freemakes more sense financially.
