That's... Really odd.

Which is totally justified. Especially if you don't already own a Wii U, why buy $500 worth of consoles, and $100 worth of games in a 2 month span just to play different versions of the same game? It makes no sense.

It's kind of like how people who got impatient and got Japanese Smash, and SAL'd it here, thus only getting to play it 2 weeks early, and needing to spend twice the money as such.

And Smash isn't able to use Circle Pad Pro, but it IS able to use the New 3DS's built-in CPP.

And then you have Amiibo and Nintendo fanboys STILL claim that Nintendo isn't as much of a cash grabber as its competitors.

Like I said, looking at polls and forum posts in Japan, they don't seem to care about Ridley at all. Meanwhile, they DID desperately want characters like Dark Pitt and Palutena (and Miku, but that's probably their equivalent of Goku). Mewtwo was their equivalent of Ridley.

I think there's been enough outcry from the English communities that Nintendo must have taken notice, but that doesn't mean they should add someone to the game just because there's a vocal minority screaming for him. They probably considered Ridley even back for Brawl and just decided he wouldn't fit (no pun intended). Frankly, I'm surprised how many people thought he had any chance of making it in.

Bayonetta not being included was obvious too, for the same reasons she wasn't in Sonic All Stars Racing. They obviously have no problems including characters from more mature franchises, but when a characters whole thing is undressing while using her attacks and acting incredibly sexual, I think they'd probably be crossing a line. She would have worked really well, but it was just never going to happen.

Dixie Kong would have been cool as well, but I'd blame her not making it on Tropical Freeze being relatively too recent. Same with Captain Toad, who I'm sure would otherwise have been one of the first newcomers.

There's apparently a glitch in the online where if you use Peach you get a one day ban... Huh, that's kind of weird.

If the Smash is out for the Wii U on the 21st of November, then they might as well cancel Thanksgiving. ORAS and Smash will be taking up all of my time and I won't be bothered by family, unless they want to play Smash.

I will be more interested to see the drop off from the 3DS version once the Wii U one comes out. I think it was smart for Nintendo to not release them at the same time.

Well i won the past few matches with 10 kills 0 defeats. I guess i'm getting really good at Megaman. :lol

Speaking of Circle Pads how are all of your CPs so far guys? I've been hearing about how some 3DS' Circle Pads are breaking due to Smash stress.

Don't get me wrong I love Smash but I do want to play other games on my 3DS when they come out.

Sakurai's games have a habit of ruining those things, it's been like that for years.
My gamecube controllers stick is loose from years of Smash bros.
I'm honestly kind of worried i'll have to get a new 3DS soon.

Admittedly I went though 3 Gamecube controllers (my first one due to wear, the another because Mom stepped on it and the third one I'll tell ya later.)
