Topic: So what did you think of the latest Direct?

@skywake
Ya, that makes sense. The way I can justify something that a cartridge actually needs, besides possibly more storage that the average user might not have on an SD card, is something like Nintendo did with the SNES cartridges and extra components within them to run games like Starfox. In the end, it makes more sense to have those features on the console itself, which is what they did. It would take a technological genius to be able to push the limit of the 3DS based on improvements within the game card alone, as the 3DS is now. That's somewhat off topic, but I get what you guys are saying.

Overall, you could technically create software that fills up an entire SD card. It's not practical from an economic/industrial standpoint, but is still within the realms of possibility. If someone seriously released a game that was 10GB for the 3DS and required an SD card or enhanced 3DS cards for them to buy it, someone out there would buy it, but it wouldn't be financially viable at all.

As for Smash Bros. on 3DS. I see it as being one of 3DS' best looking games. It will probably look infinitely better when it's in motion and running on the 3DS screen, rather than looking at a blown up screen shot on some other display.

I plan on getting both. I don't see how anyone with a Wii U wouldn't buy this game, or would choose the 3DS version over the Wii U version. That's why I don't see either one "killing" the other.
Wii U:
HD, big screen
Confirmed online
Surround sound
4 players on screen with possible GamePad special features for up to 2 more players
Great visuals

3DS:
3D
Portable
Still relevant compared to the Wii U version
Streetpass(?)
Possible online(not confirmed)
Acceptable visuals

There's actually more questions about the 3DS version from what I can gather. I know alot of people are saying, "Why would I buy the game for more on Wii U?". Those people are missing the point about what each version has to offer, including different stages and such. I'd buy the Wii U version over the 3DS, but I still think that they're both worth having, so I'll buy both.

Sold my Wii U, bought 3DS

The games I'm most excited about are the known ones, Mario Kart 8, DK Tropical Freeze and Smash but that Hyrule Warriors could also be a nice game, we'll have to see. Really looking forward to the 3DS stuff, if I don't have a Wii U by the time it's out, I'll get Smash for that system. 3DS purchases I know I'm making for sure are Yoshi's New Island and Kirby Triple Deluxe. This was definitely one of the better Nintendo Directs, while the new stuff didn't get me totally hyped about the Wii U's 2014, DK, Smash and Mario Kart are reason enough and I'm sure there's more on the way. I'll be getting the system for sure at some point.

I think the problem nintendo has is the other way around. I know alot of people holding off on getting a Wii U because the 3DS is a beast of a handheld. Its where i'm at now as well, where i'm tossing up which to get first between a Vita and a Wii U. Will probably spring for a Wii U next month and wait to see if the Vita 2000 is coming to america. Don't really care about an Oled screen when I want a lighter system and better battery life. Same with the 3DS and I wish I would have waited for the XL.

Really liked it. The Kirby game looks like a must have and the Dynasty Warriors / Zelda cross over I will probably pick up.

After watching it I just pre-ordered Mario Kart 8 so it made a sale out of me. Also going to preorder super smash bros wii U when I find the lowest price.

From me who has owned 2 vita's one when it was first released and once again a year after release... I wouldn't recommend one to anyone. 3DS im having too much fun with. You would be in a much off getting a Wii U imo anyway.

And that's another thread derailed...
