I still find it a little surprising that Sakurai has no personal favorite character in Smash. At first I wasn't because he's the Director of the games and there's no telling how many times he played and tested each character on the roster, but then you would think he would still have some sort of attachment to his personal characters like Kirby and Pit.
I would argue that similar happens to him that happens to most players. Once they find their play style, the character they're playing AS doesn't matter quite as much. I may like Wolf, but I played him because he matches my playstyle. Similarly, I'm probably gonna play Little Mac or Pac-man due to them seeming to match my playstyle (Gonna need the game before I can be certain about this.) Since Sakurai has to play each character so much, he's probably extremely used to all playstyles meaning he's fond of all of his characters.
More content, more (better) controls, HD graphics = $60
At my favourite retailer, the price difference will be even less. They offer new Wii U Nintendo games around 50€(+-5€)
40€ for the 3DS <-> 45€~55€ for the Wii U version. So if I'm lucky I only pay 5€... probably 10... more, for the "better" version.
"For shooting games overseas, it's common to see games that utilize the left stick to move around and the right to determine the direction to shoot, so we can say the origin of modern shooting games was this game--which is pretty remarkable."
"This assist trophy is Sheriff. Sheriff was an arcade game released in 1979. In this game, the players aim by choosing one of eight directions to shoot using a second joystick separate from the one that controls movement. It was quite a revolutionary game for its time.

Okay, I take back EVERYTHING I said about the 3DS being the best version. Wii U > 3DS.
No offense, but why would you think that In the first place? Just curious.
Check out my YouTube channel if you love gaming, and Nintendo (especially Metroid) I think you'll enjoy my videos. :)

Dark Toon Link is VERY disturbing to look at...
I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

Sakurai's comment on fans' concerns about lagging online on the 3DS version:
“Connectivity can depend heavily on location so I really don’t know what to say. At the very least, we’ve confirmed that smooth play is possible under various conditions of external networks. During multi-player, you’re connected with another player and sending light amounts of data back and forth, so if the game feels laggy, it’s due to the connection speed. If you play when it’s laggy, then the person you’re playing with will experience the same lag, so it’s best to play when the connection is clear. During development, there were cases where we had too many people and the connection became sluggish, so we turned off our cell phones and the connection would clear up. It’s best to avoid playing while streaming something or by a tethered connection. Free wi-fi spots are probably not very good either.”
Sakurai also reiterated that he doesn't have a favorite character. However, he does like heavy characters.
“I don’t have one. However, for this game, I tend to like the heavier fighters.”
So King Dedede, Bowser, maybe Rosalina or... huh, you know, this kinda makes me wonder how he let Wolf and K. Rool slide by. If he likes heavier characters, you'd think he'd be more likely to get heavier characters in.
