Ouch. My wallet hurts...

Trials Fusion - April
Dark Souls 2 PC - April
Borderlands 2 Vita - May
Mario Kart 8 - May
GTAV PC (Rumoured) - June
SSB 3DS - Summer

Total Value - £174 (i presumed the £30-40 value games were £35 when adding the values)

Not to mention the steam summer sale and all the other sales that websites/stores do during the summer. :L

So far:
- Stages are completely different with the exception of Final Destination and Battlefield (I want that Galaxy stage so bad )
- 3DS has a unique mode where 4 players run through a large Subspace-ish world to collect upgrades, then fight; a lot like City Trial in Kirby's Air Ride (which I loved so I'm probably going to play the fuck out of this)
- Graphics obviously
- On the 3DS every stage has 2 songs. On the WiiU they'll have a ton like Brawl.

I think that's it.

So game mechanics, characters, movesets, etc. Are identical across platforms?

I think this might be the thread you were looking for?

I'd rather the 3DS one sooner because you can play it with your friends or randoms when you go out. It might not have the awesome production values of the WiiU game, but the portable nature allows you to game socially so it will have more of a 'fun' factor. With that said unless I go completely broke I'll definately be buying both.

Nope, the only one of them games i've bought so far is Trials Fusion. I was just pointing out how hard it's going to be on my wallet this summer and that it was going to be harder with SSB being announced for summer.

Nintendo clearly wants players to double-dip and buy both instead of offering proper cross-platform functionality which saddens me. Other than that, the game looks fine.

There's really not much that they can do when the Wii U is in a tough spot. Making the games as two different versions is playing it safer than making the game cross-platform.

This is a short-term strategy for profit - alienate the players enough and they will stop buying your products altogether.

Yes. They already confirmed the roster being the same and I really can't see any mechanics or moves changing across versions, with the possible exceptions being the customizable movesets and stage-based mechanics (such as the Mario Galaxy stage being round).

I already know this and I disagree with what they're doing. It makes me feel sorry for Nintendo and also makes me see them in a new light, I gladly won't be buying either Smash Brothers game.

Iono, seems smart to me. Release the game around the holiday rush.
