From the interview with Sakurai:

First of all, it seems the two versions will be very different. With the 3DS version, he says he might have to make the game simpler than Brawl or the WiiU version. While for the WiiU version, we might get an ultra fancy, packed full of detail Smash Bros with 50 characters or twice as many stages as Brawl, as well as more background detail.

3DS one will be more personalised. Only tracks a single person's stats, in more detail.

System of rewards to customise your character with in the 3DS version. Presumably, like the stickers did for Subspace Emissary, except in more detail.

Iwata said 'you can never have too much Smash Bros'. Sakurai doesn't remember his response, but Iwata said Sakurai said you could.

Me? I personally agree with Iwata. Bring on more Smash Bros!

3DS version will have 'ways' to help beginner players. Sounds a tad ominous.

Going to ask more people for help balancing the characters this time around, to avoid the competitive scene with only two or three good characters Melee and Brawl had.

Doesn't want characters to feel the same.

3DS version will be designed to work with the console's smaller screen.

Different teams likely for each version.

Sakurai had no direct involvement with Sonic or (surprisingly) Link's implementation in Brawl. Hang on though, who did for the latter? Aonuma?

Iwata says some designers enjoy cutscenes.

Sakurai more hands on with these games than he was with Brawl.

Sakurai makes sure each Smash Bros game has a different fun 'twist' to it.

Iwata says the project is expensive.

So, thoughts on this?
 
All I can say is that the one for Wii U better be customizable as well. That's all I can think for now.
 
I want equal effort. They need to be the same
Are you mad?
They should be equally good, yes, but not the same. That would make having it on two different systems largely redundant.

Maybe Helper videos. Like in NSMBWii, DKCR, Zelda OoT......... and maybe possible in this game. *Shifty eyes*
 
What I want the most is new chars.Especially Mario,Kirby,and Pikmin ones!
 
^ IKR, I want Sothe sooooo bad!

Just like tutorials or what? Cause they already have those short clips that show you the controls and everything. I'm curious as to how the helper videos would help in a game like this.

This is going to be pretty fun. I will have a portable Smash Bros. and a top-notch Smash Bros... mmmmmm... *drools*

The fact they'll both be pretty different is a positive, in my opinion. But as for the tutorials, I dunno. The next step from a tutorial video is a tutorial game I guess, where it would have stuff like "Run over to that Sandbag and press A!" or whatever.

How would you have more Pikmin characters? Louie and the President are exactly the same as Olimar in terms of utility. Although I suppose we are yet to see what Pikmin 3 has in store for us.

Enemies? Who knows, 50 characters is a lot haha.

That would actually be awesome playing as a bulborb.You could change colors to make different ones too!
 
Yea.. but the problem with tons of characters is lots of them might end up clones....
 
^Well it said they didn't want characters to feel the same, I wonder if that just means which characters they choose or if they are going to have less clones?
