While ultimately I am probably going to get both 3DS and Wii U versions of the game, my problem with playing it on 3DS is that the experience is going to feel completely different. In a bad way. I don't mean it will play poorly, but Smash Bros. for me has always been about getting together with a bunch of friends and duking it out for hours. The atmosphere just isn't the same when you're all looking at your own screens, and there's not even any guarantee we'll have enough 3DS systems to go around. And this is assuming the game even has a Download Play feature (I'm sure it will, though). The 3DS game will be fun online, but locally? It'll be a mere shadow of its brother. It surprises me some longtime Smash fans are so accepting of the proposition of going exclusively 3DS, when the heart and soul of the past three games will arguably be lost in doing so. By all accounts, it will be a great supplement to Smash 4 Wii U. But an alternative? Impossible.
