Because the 3DS is a weak piece of shit, and the Wii U version shouldn't be held back by it? RIP Ice Climbers.
I'm sad the Climbers are gone, and thought about the idea of them being seperated through alts instead and being called "Ice Climber" but that compromises what they're all about.
That being said, it's going to be so good being able to play on the go for the first time ever. Today, I was able to take the demo to work with me and play Smash on my lunch break, which was awesome! If you look at the bigger picture, we got most of Brawl's roster, plus some clones, and around 15 entirely
new characters all on one game cart, all with 3 different movesets - plus stages, trophies, music etc.
I'm really impressed with what they've been able to do with limited hardware to be honest
