While I don't think the versions will be separate per se, I do think that the same game will have exclusive content depending on what you play it on to further highlight the reasons to own both instead of just one. I think that Smash 3DS and Wii U are irrefutable proof that this will be their philosophy on this matter, but working backwards. With Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS, they used the exclusive content to get you to want to buy both games, but with the new systems, they'll use the single cross-buy game as a way to get you to purchase both systems. Cross platform online play between systems will be pretty much a given, so I see no issue there. |
Why couldn't they go with carts? Similar to the way that Vita/Vita TV share a single format, just use 3DS carts but at a higher capacity, 4-16gb should do for pretty much all Nintendo games and the type of 3rd party games Nintendo handhelds typically recieve.
I agree we could see some minor exclusive features depending on which device u play on along with some sort of connectivity similar to what GC/GBA offered. This gives consumers at least some incentive to own both devices.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
