I would be nice to have that option but honestly the only time I did cross platform play was with the GBA and the GC with FF: Crystal Chronicles I believe. That was cool because it gave you your own screen to look at but with the Wii U gamepad that option is pretty pointless.

I think if they do, it will be more locally, rather than internet. Playing the consoles in the same room simultaneously, or transferring and going somewhere with your 3DS. It's better than Vitas crossplay which is what I'm been trying to tell people for some time now... I'd rather have 2 individual titles be able to be connected, rather than the same one getting spread out between 2 platforms.

to be honest I agree but I would rather do plays on wii u and finish on 3ds it possible but who know they might do that but they need to do more games

What?
How the heck is the Vita's crossplay worse?
For one thing when the Vita does crossplay with PS3 you only need to buy the game once.

You need like four copies of Monster Hunter to do multiplayer crossplay. That's just dumb.
It's worse, because it's the same game on both platforms. MH3U is the same game besides online for 3DS. They expect someone who wants to play to have their own game card. Same with Super Smash Wii U X 3DS. Those are Nintendo's first basically identical games on one platform at once, but I'm guessing they each have something different to offer than than each version.
i.e. It would be better have The Legend of Zelda Wii U could communicate with The Legend of Zelda 3DS, but it's not the same adventure on both platforms.

I still don't understand.
On the one hand, you are buying two copies of the same game, with slightly different features. You can do that on the Vita/ PS3. See: Dead or Alive 5
On the other hand, when it's exactly the same game (as Monster Hunter is), then at least with Sony consoles you don't need to buy it twice.
You don't have a PS3 and Vita, do you? I can tell,
Holy crap Bankai. There have been multiple thread posts where I state I have a PS3, as part of my argument. You and Chrono_Cross like don't have memory or something.
I don't have a PS Vita, but I understand how the stuff works. Even if I have neither of those consoles, it takes no thought whatsoever to understand.
I understand PS Vita and PS3 play the exact same copy of a game.
Did you ever play Harvest Moon for GCN, that was connective with the GBA one? Or the Geometry Wars game for Wii, connective with the DS one? They have something different to offer even if they are the same software in title only.

Are you telling me that the very first Tekken is exactly the same as Tekken Tag Tournament 2? Maybe in concept, but not what actually appears in the game. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is building off the same idea as Melee and the N64 one.

And you can't read. I said you don't have a PS3 and a Vita.

The Vita is capable of doing that as well by linking up to the PS3. There's not much point to developers using that feature yet since most people with PS3s don't have Vitas.

No. I never said anything of the sort.
I'm sure I've said this to you in the past, but you really need to work on both your articulation and your comprehension. Half the time I have absolutely no idea how you arrive at your logic, and the other half the time I'm certain you've misread every word I've written.
You don't pay attention or can't read either. In the next sentence, I said that I don't need a PS Vita to understand how it works, which goes past the need of actually needing one to understand. Even if I did have a PS Vita, you still wouldn't believe me. What features does PS Vita add to a PS3 game, or vice versa?

The Vita can be used as a controller when playing PS3 games. It can work as a second screen. You can transfer your game save from your PS3 to your Vita to play your game on the go, and transfer it back when you're at home to continue where you left off.
You can do everything with the Vita/ PS3 that you can do with the Monster Hunter game. Considering that Monster Hunter is the only game that links 3DS to Wii U, and considering that there is a handful of Vita games that now support it, it's not inferior. It's exactly the same experience. With more games.

I would prefer the Vita's system for games such as Animal Crossing or Monster Hunter, where you're going to invest hundreds of hours and can benefit from being able to play on the go. But for something like Smash Brothers I think it would be cool to have related but distinct games that can trade items or open up different functionalities.

I'm pretty sure PS3/Vita is capable of both of those systems, but yes, which is better really depends on the game. Games that take hundreds of hours benefit from being both portable and for home consoles. Other games could use extra features for having both (assuming they are different games). I agree with you completely and think developers should decide what works best for the game.

Well good then. I hope you're enjoying that. The only problem with that way of doing things, is that you need to pay $300 for a PS3, then $250 for a PS Vita.
Nintendo has kind of already combined PS3 and Vitas cross play ability where they interact as one with Wii U, then they have 3DS on top of that as a stand alone, and are combining both for the cross play on the go. Also, acting as one which is sure to happen in Smash Bros.
We need to make sure not to forget the similarity between both the systems.
Crossplay altogether is not a new concept.

What. You need to buy a 3DS and a Wii U to play 3DS/ Wii U crossplay games.
