Mewtwo Returns to Super Smash Bros., Ridley and Metal Face Explained

Awwwww yissssss

I wanted to flip a table when I saw Mewtwo. I didn't want this!

Hah now people can quit their bellyaching over him not making it.

Are you sure about Mewtwo being exclusive to those who bought both versions ? It didnt sound like that.
The Soundtrack was specially noted to be only for those who registered both versions of the game.

Awesome! I was on the fence about the 3DS version, but now I'll definitely get it! Plus, 8 player Smash SO MUCH HYPE! I kinda hope they don't even offer him as paid DLC, just to make people buy both (especially the ones whining about it. Fantastic direct.

Ridley!!

Thanksgoodness! now they will finally stop whining and making a tantrum for it to be included in.

@MasterWario
WHY!?

Ridley's back as a boss? Ha!

About time they confirmed Ridley officially. Shinru202 is one of the few users on Miiverse i know must be torn from seeing this

@ModestFan93 People had every right to. Mewtwo is iconic and should be a monster to play against in the new Smash. Project M has only wet the Smash community's appetite with that fantastic rendition of Mewtwo.

Hey now, not all of us Mewtwo supporters were wildly complaining. And think about it — there are thousands of Mewtwo fans. If this convinces people to buy a Wii U and the Wii U version of the game, it's just more money for Nintendo!

I am stoked. Mewtwo was my most wanted character. YEEEEEEEEEES

Calm down guys, MewTwo will mostly be a paid DLC. It's only free if you have both versions registered.
@Squid What about the people that only have a Wii U and not a 3DS? They do exist ok?

While it's sucks Ridley isn't a playable character, it's still cool to see him as stage boss/helper. Oh and MEWTWO!!!!!!!!!!!

More Xenoblade is always good and so is Ridley, WTH is Mewtwo, Pokemon? Don't care.

I really hope this means we can get Isaac and Inkings as future DLC. Seriously, Golden Sun's absense is the game is way too suspicious

@Einherjar they said specifically that Mewtwo would only be available if you have both versions.

@Nimious No they don't have a right to complain. Fighters come and go and Project M is garage trash please don't try using that in an actual argument. Regarding Pokemon characters Sakurai is at the whims of Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company take it to them that they didn't feel like Mewtwo was important enough to bring back in Brawl.
@Ryno Them be fighting words 'round these parts. =w=

@DarkLink95 I must have overheard it then.

What I wish they talked about was if there was a way to unlock characters on the Wii U version if you have them unlocked on the 3DS version already. That would be handy to just go straight to the core of the game when it's out.

Oh well, this reveal was a big surprise. I'm sure many had already abandoned their hopes of having mewtwo in considering the amount of pokemon representatives. Hopefully they won't be all smug about it "Hah! Told you he was in!" and all that. And regarding the fact it is DLC, and that DLC is a thing in Smash... well, duh. That's the way things are now, like it or not. At least I feel like Nintendo is doing it in moderate amounts and at a very good price-content ratio.

@Nintendo_Ninja Didn't like Mewtwo in Melee or project M. He just feels, out of place with his floaty physics and obtuse model, moving/idle animation, and hitbox. We'll see how well Nintendo makes him this time around, but I'm super skeptical. At least I get a few months without em'.

Although, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to go crying about it. It was just the only part of the direct I didn't like.

@RaphaBoss Or the opposite. That's why exclusive portable gaming is such a trend in Japan. Some of us really can't deal with a big bulky piece of hardware that needs a TV to work. I don't own a computer and I don't even remember the last time I actually used my TV. A huge parw of my gaming happens on the train or at a hotel.

See Ridley fans? He is playable!

This Direct was too much for me, it's really making me wish Wii U Smash released now.

@MasterWario
I agree. I preferred Lucario's playing style to Mewtwo's.

Now, I wonder... will they go Mega Mewtwo X or Y for his final smash?

Now that I think about, Ridley is pretty much like the Flying Men on the 3DS version. Except all you had to do there was touch the Flying Man. lol

Honestly, the only reason I loved Mewtwo in Melee was because of his movement...I mean, all he does for walking is levitating forward with his arms crossed. He doesn't even use his hands to use items, lol

@Everyone
"WARNING! Mewtwo arrives in spring 2015! Register both versions in a promotional period & get him for free! "
https://twitter.com/NintendoUK

Mewtwo is not exclusive to owners of both the Wii U and 3DS versions. They just get him for free.

WOOT!

AM I DREAMING OR IS THIS REAL!!!

YAY CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Ryno This.

Does anyone know why they didn't show whatever that screenshot (Duck Hunt D'uh) from yesterday's pic of the day??

my main is BACK!!!!! NOW i'm sure wolf will return!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUTJepBz-jM

I'd give my right leg for Wart from SMB2 to be a DLC character. That guy gets no love never!

MEWTWO CONFIRMED

I'll be honest, the only reason I'm excited for Mewtwo is the hope that Lucas could be a character. (They both are trophies in 3DS version)

When my kids came home from school and asked about the vid I told them a new character was added and they both yelled out "MEWTOO!!!", so yeah, they're excited.

Imortant question - I have 1 Wii U and my 2 kids each have a 3DS (so does my wife) but the boys each have their own copy of SSB. So will both of their copies of the game get Mewtoo or only 1? Its all registered to my US CN acvount but the games are under different acvounts, mine and my wife, b/c Nintendo wont let you put 2 copirs of 1 game on 1 account.

Im not worried about the CDs, 1 set is enough for everybody.

Ridley got upgraded from boss to a pseudo-character, he's slowly making his way up there.
Also with the way Ridley has walking, running, jumping and other animations fighters have, as well as being able to hang off the edge like a playable character, gives a point if KO'd, has his own Stock icon and even turns into Meta Ridley just like a Final Smash, makes me wonder if Ridley was considered to be actually playable (with some size scaling) in this Smash. But maybe they thought he'd be too big for the 3DS screen or whatever so they scrapped that consideration.

Extremely bummed that Ridley isn't a true fighter.

I could care less about Mewtwo, but at least he's just DLC. I think he, Dr. Mario, and perhaps even the Ice Climbers should've been a 3-for-1 "Melee Deja Vu" DLC pack or something.

Wonder how much Mewtwo codes will sell for on Ebay...

YAY!!!... another clone..

I don't think there will be a big difference between lucario and mewtwo.. except one being more awesome and stronger than the other..

Ridley tho.

im not wasting money on wiiu its a dying system already saw that Nintendo is doin a next gen console mewtwo isn't worth getting

I never expected M2 to come back. Then they showed 'im, and I was pointing to myself, mouth gaping after the requirements were said. I was like "That's me!". Now my buds'll be super jealous. I do hope they can have a way of getting him though.

Since I have multiple copies of smash 3ds in the family and obviously would only get one wii u copy can I get Mewtwo on all the 3ds copies?

@rjejr

I would say the 3DS whose NNID is linked to the Wii U will get it. So go buying another Wii U But we can wait for an official word, the day before it releases, of course.

I think this is a great idea, too bad he is not one of my favorite characters.

@rockman_zero um, what? it's not even close to dying. Yoshi's Yarn, Xenoblade 2, Watchdogs, That Toad game, The New Zelda, and more to come

@MegaBeedrill
Not even 1 minute of move set shown and Mewtwo is already being labeled a clone

@rockman_zero
Source? None? Thought so. Don't be so bitter.

I'm kind of worried, not being a Wii U owner, but they specifically said he would be FREE to those with both versions so I have faith in Nintendo to at least have him available as paid DLC to those with only one version sometime in the future.

@TeeJay Well it is said that it's free for a limited time and that you can just buy him.

@Undead_Terror Source? I'd rather not get excited too quickly...

@Undead_Terror Source? I'd rather not get excited too quickly...

@rockman_zero Sony and Microsoft are working on their next gan consoles too. Try again. Also, get out.

@TeeJay Well that's what some were saying and this does help out as well https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/525415360242393088 "WARNING! Mewtwo arrives in spring 2015! Register both versions in a promotional period & get him for free!"

So it seems that Sakurai DOES think that Ridley is too big...

@Iggly Same here. This Direct is too much for my simple mind to comprehend.
It's really awesome that Mewtwo fans got what they really wanted. It's good to see that a lot of people are satisfied. I honestly can't get into Pokemon for the life of me, but I think I can look forward to Mewtwo.
In addition, I hope this may pave way for future characters to arrive. They have as much time as they can to work on 'em, too! Personally, I'm fully satisfied with the game's content already (that we know of), but I welcome anything that'll extend the game's life — not that I won't always play it to begin with!
On a side note, I wonder if Smashboards crashed at this announcement.

I already got the 3DS version and will be getting the Wii U version anyways so to me Mewtwo is already a given. Still kinda suck that we had to wait for Spring 2015 for Mewtwo to be available but oh well hopefully it's worth the wait.

....What the heck Nintendo.

Best case scenario for ridley fans after he got all but deconfirmed. Mewtwo making the roster makes me SOOOOOOOOO happy that I can forget about adding greninja.

@EarthboundBren Mother 3 is my favorite game, so I would love continued exposure for it.

@Nintendo_Ninja Well, he IS a clone. A clone of Mew

I want them to also confirm Lucas and Wolf. I know Wolf is extremely similar to Fox and Falco but I want another villain. They could at least change his final smash. I know Snake is not coming back. Before people say I'm too demanding for asking for more characters, it would be easier for Sakuri to import these character's movesets from Brawl then it would be to create a new character. If he doesn't do this I still will be extremely satisfied with the final product and I'm no doubt buying the Wii U version. I have the 3DS version which is a great game, but it is nothing compared to the Wii U version. There is no other Smash Bros. game like it. Not even Melee. I don't care what any Melee fanboy says, this has way more content than Melee and Brawl, plus it plays very well. If you can't accept that then your just nostalgia blind.

Mewtwo marks yet another first for the series: DLC, at long last!
Hopefully, he'll pave the way for more people. Back to Isaac speculation, guys!

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!! MEWTWO IS IS BACK!!!

(still hoping for mach rider)

Interesting how Snake was mentioned in the broadcast...

That twitter post doesn't even hint at another way of getting him. I think some people are reading too much between the lines.

Then again it's possible. We'll see later (don't make me eat more hats please)

Please tell me Mewtwo will be purchaseable separate from the games, preferably in a pack of characters. I don't want to buy the 3DS version just for a character.

We just want moar Metroid characters...DX

@ModestFan93 What kind of poor response is that? Lmao, you might want to look into what you're saying.

"Fighters come and go"? Those have always been up to the point of Brawl "clones", characters Sakurai did not feel added to the game. Mewtwo however was not such a character and was PLANNED to be in Brawl as indicated by the data files. It was due to time constraints that he was not added in NOT due to what Gamefreak had said. Funny you mention Gamefreak proprietary rights as it is a second party developer.... meaning Nintendo OWNS Gamefreak, Gamefreak can't legitimately block Nintendo from using what they own nor have they tried. What you said was completely false and made up.

As for Project M there's really no need for me to say a thing to you. You are quite clearly not a part of the community nor have you paid attention to anything within the community. Project M is the favoured Smash game to be competitively played now and one of the most distinctive characters offered by the game is Mewtwo. He is after all was the most hyped character during the reveal and a good reason why many decided to look at the game.

Thanks for your response but it has added absolutely nothing. Actually my advice to you is to know what you're saying before you try and share your "thoughts".

Is it just me or is MewTwo heavily sexualized in this design. I'm not sure if this creature is male or female but based on the chest it's obvious Nintendo is attempting to arouse me. It's quite apparent to me that Nintendo is directing pre-sexualized subliminal messages to my crotch. I could stop staring at this magnificent creature but why would I want to? Thank you Nintendo.

@WinterWarm The DLC hater is here

I hope he is the first of many DLC characters such as Dixie Kong and Chorus Men.

@MegaBeedrill LMBO dude, Mewtwo is not a clone. If any other character is similar to him then they are his clone as he was unique in Melee.

Ahhh the rat.. So it has a name lolol

@Gameday

It HAD a name!

So you need 3DS version also to get Mewtwo? Now that's a cheap cashgrab if they won't make him available to buy without having both versions.

@rjejr The DLC can be bought separately.

@Porky Which one was first in brawl and smash 4? Lucario, they were never in the same game together and while lucario had a very similar moveset he's not really a clone to something nonexistant in the game. Sure he was in melee but lucario replaced him rather than being a clone in the same game.

In this one however, I fear with as many clones as we already have, and the similarites between the two between the games they were found in, mewtwo will likely just be a buffed up verison of lucario, if not exactly the same simliar to pit and dark pit/mario and dr. mario.

This is how you reveal a surprise announcement RIGHT. Character data isn't in the game and instead they're DLC so people don't datamine and ruin the reveal. Heck, his unlockable trophy even made a lot of people give up hope because it was unlocked without playing through Classic as him.

If registering both games to CN is the only way to get him, that stupidly makes him limited ~

_{Still want Chorus Kids}

@Gameday Nice TMNT reference. However Mewtwo would kick Shredder's and sadly Master Splinter's butt.

I want Bomberman! Give me Bomberman! Also give me Club Nintendo so i can have those amazing CDs!

Nice with more characters, but I'm pretty indifferent about Mewtwo. The last thing SSB4 needed was MORE Pokémons.. :/

And at the end of the day, people are picky with extra content which they can get sorta free....

As long as I can buy it with just the 3DS version, I'm cool with this. Mewtwo is a pretty iconic pokémon, even if he wasn't actually that good in Melee.

The Ridley stage sounds pretty frustrating though. I think that'll probably be one that I play on omega mode, if/when I get a Wii U and SSBU.

@dbobo that would be awesome. No love for wart.

Ah cool, Mewtwo is back! And as a free update. A pity though that this only applies to people who own both copies. But luckily I will be one of them.

Hopefully we will see more free characters.

So does that mean us Scandinavians would not get Mewtwo ?!

"Both characters are more complicated and engaging than the ones found on the 3DS version"

What are the Ridley and Metal Face in the 3DS version...?

@citizenerased
They mean they're both more complicated than boss characters found in the 3DS version (e.g. Yellow Devil), not that they're available in the 3DS version.

@MegaBeedrill i dont think mewtwos gona end up being just a lucario clone (at least i hope not) if he was just a clone i would think they wouldve been able to fit mewtwo in before releasing the full game that maybe he's been held back till 2015 cus he's being given a new set of moves to use. just a guess is all though

@MMSK786 What would make you think that. Everyone will.

Am I the only one who doesn't like this move. I feel its a dirty tactic on nintendo to get people to double dip. Now I was originally going to get the 3ds version at some stage or another and the Wii U version at launch.

Now I don't know if I will the wii u version at launch and I may end up getting both used so I know my money isn't going to Nintendo for doing a cheap tactic like that.

To the people that were going to get both versions at launch before this news, that's fantastic news for you guys.

@SilentHunter382 It keeps being said, you can BUY him, you can get him "Free" for a limited time.

@Undead_terror I know you can buy him if you don't have both versions but there are alot of people out there that were only going to buy one version of the game.

Now after hearing this news they will buy both versions just to get him for free even if he is going to cost €8-10.

@SilentHunter382 Well who knows, maybe they will learn he can be paid for, on the bright side they can get 2 CD's and some CN coins.

@Undead_terror Hopefully they do. That is true about the 2 CD and the coins (or star points for me) which to me is better then getting mewtwo as it something physical over an in-game item.

@SilentHunter382 To tell you the truth, that is what I might end up doing, I won't be playing the game any time soon, I will at least get the collector CD's and a bunch of coins, then that should let me have a pre order of mewtwo pretty much, the real question is when will I get a U? I don't mind having $60 aside but need more for a U.

If Mewtwo is still in development, and then something has gone wrong, they may have to can it.

*It refers to Mewtwo.

So if I have both versions, but my brothers only have the 3DS version, will they not be able to play as Mewtwo on the handheld? That's a shame if it's true. I hope Mewtwo eventually becomes available for purchase.

@Tsuchinoko: You have to register the games on Club Nintendo in order to get Mewtwo free but there's no Club Nintendo here :/...

@MegaBeedrill Um, aside from Shadow Ball / Aura Sphere, Mewtwo and Lucario have always had completely different movesets. The only cloning involved is that Mewtwo is a modified clone of Mew in the source material.

Anyway, I really hope they revamp Mewtwo's specials. Other than Shadow Ball, all of its specials really sucked in Melee (although I wouldn't mind keeping Teleport as long as there's an alternate version that does damage). With all of the attacks available to it nowadays, it should really be given better stuff than those joke attacks of Confusion and Hypnosis (or whatever it was). This is an uber-tier Pokémon; give it some real power! As for its Final Smash, I don't see how it could be anything other than Mega Evolving, probably into Mega Mewtwo Y, as with Charizard and Lucario before it.

while putting the whole mewtwo thing aside for me i like what they did with ridley i think its amazing even if hes not a playable character we got some good new ones now imagine if they added the same features to like dialga and palkia stage from brawl and you could have them as allies?

@Undead_terror It says nothing about being able to buy Mewtwo afterwards. It just says free for a limited time with both copies of the game, which does not necessarily mean that it will ever be offered again afterwards at any price. That being said, they very likely will offer him as paid DLC afterwards, or they're going to risk alienating a lot of fans.

@BulbasaurusRex Well it wouldn't make sense if he was a one time thing, he will be paid DLC, no worries.

@Tsuchinoko I don't think the majority of Japan will have to worry.
There will be tons of Mewtwo DL codes online, maybe free or for a small price.
There's also the possibility that Nintendo will put them on the Eshop, but this time as paid DLC for people that don't have both versions.

I like this concept and I hope more veterans can join the battle once again! (Lucas, anyone?)

Oh, and if I still don't have a Wii U before Spring, then I'll just buy the Wii U version without a Wii U and then register the code so I can atleast practice Mew2 on 3DS.

@MMSK786 I think you can make a Club Nintendo account for another region, as long as it's in Europe too.

Aww man, I don't even have a 3DS Hope he'll show up as DLC for Wii U!

@The_Ninja Same my buddy!, but hey, you get 2 collector CD's and CN coins/stars so it's all good!

@The_Ninja: Umm, the main problem is that in Scandinavia no box packages include those Club Nintendo scratch-able codes... So let alone registering the games.

@BulbasaurusRex Side B is confusion, and down B is Disable (which is quite difficult to hit in competitive play). I hope his moves change too as he has a wild Drowsie's moves in Kanto lol.

@NintyMan Perhaps more DLC characters are being worked alongside Mewtwo but wasn't announced in this direct and will be released the same time. Maybe.

I really liked the addition of more interacting Ridley and Metal Face on the Wii U. Having a boss like character that you can choose to concentrate on instead of the other fighters is just another option.

As far as Mewtwo goes, I was surprised, but I'm not overly excited. However, I guess this opens the door for other additional characters in the future. Let the speculating and wishing begin!!!!!!!

Mewtwo is without a doubt, my favorite Pokemon of all time! I could've fell outta my chair when they announced him lol. I honestly didn't think he'd make it.

@sinalefa - Yeah that's what I was afraid of. Well maybe Nintendo will give us another copy of Mewtoo for buying both versions of Pokemon ASOR, I can register both of them on my main account b/c they are 2 different games - already did it w/ B/W, B/W2, XY. But no, not buying another Wii U for SSB U, nice suggestion though May have to buy 1 for Splatoon, XCX and Zelda as my kids get older they are using the tv more and may need a Wii U in my room

@rjejr But the Mewtwo DLC can be bought. It's just a free bonus if you have both games.

I'm not a pokemon master. Can someone explain why this is a big deal when pokemon is already represented throughout this game?

@MMSK786 Well, you could import games from another PAL region. Or, Eshop! Just connect the CN account to the Eshop.

@headfirstslide - Guess I'll let the kids RPS to see who pays for it and who gets it free

Ok! Now this is more like it! Finally Nintendo does something awesome! Still kinda blows my mind that Lucario's in the game but whatever! Mewtwo will be in it!

@WaveWarlock; Mike Jones would be amazing! He would be much better than the kids from Earthbound. To bad Nintendo buried StarTopics into the forgotten pit of all things great of the 80's and early 90's. But you know what, I'm actually really thinking about getting this game now. Is this the game that will make you finally unpackage your Wii U?

@rockman_zero The Wii U is far from a dying system. It's been getting a ton of great games, and the Gamepad's a great controller. The only people who say that it's a dying system are the people who don't know anything about it.

I'm excited about Mewtwo! I've been planning on getting both versions from day one, so I'll be sure to get Mewtwo! I just hope that there will be a way both myself and my brother can get him in the 3DS version.

@MegaBeedrill That doesn't quite make sense. Which came first in Brawl and Sm4sh? I meant Mewtwo appeared in the series before Lucario was even created. If they had debuted in a game together there would not be a first or last. But now we have DLC so now we can say that.

@The_Ninja: No, it's not possible to link to the eShop either since the country is set and upon trying(and even the first time when it offered on its own that I tried doing 3 years ago) resulted in an error message. So yeah, Nintendo really tightened their policies here . As per importing, it's not possible since I already downloaded Smash 3DS from the eShop :/.

@OneBagTravel
Mewtwo was the post-game final boss in the first generation of Pokemon (Red and Blue). It was also featured very prominently in the very first Pokemon movie (and its straight-to-DVD sequel). In both the games and the anime Mewtwo is a very powerful pokemon with a tragic backstory (created by humans from Mew's DNA, then enslaved until he broke free). He's also a no-nonsense, badass lone wolf, and those types tend to become fan favorites very easily.

@MMSK786 I guess your only hope now is to contact Nintendo.

People fail to look at the big picture here: DLC is confirmed. Do you think Mewtwo will be the only new fighter? I highly doubt it. He may be the first one released, but you know that opens the door for more fighters in the future.

@Knuckles Haha someone gets it , Agreed MewTwo would wreck them a few times over.

@R_Champ Even better haha, well i would of said this was true in this statement but since the announcement of his return in this game. He still has a name ;p

I'm so disappointed that I can't get Mewtwo. I don't have a Wii U so I can't get him. I hope there will still be an option to download him as DLC....

Ridley! Told you Ridley was a boss. I Told 'em...told 'em twice. Heh, though it is nice that Ridley will be a kinda-fighter like the flying men. Heh, doesn't make the Metroid series be as empty after all
Metal Face! Don't know this guy but I love his voice (he's immortal is Chronicles? This could end badly)
Heh, so far this was a pretty sweet direct I can't wait to buy t...Mewtwo! .......No! No! No! this has increased my hype even more to unimaginable levels ruined the whole game for me. Mewtwo is a surprising addition to the already big roster especially who is coming first for DLC, Finally people can shut up about it! a waste of a character and should've stayed in Melee, he's just a sucky clone of Lucario. You've made me more exited than ever. King K. Rool pls. drop a purchase. The game is forever ruined. Thanks a lot Sakurai.

@Porky I'm not hating, just irritated. I don't own a WiiU and for that reason I'm excluded from certain characters? What sense does that make?

@WinterWarm
People who only own one version of SSB4 can still get Mewtwo, just not for free. Why is that so many people think you need both versions for this?

@WinterWarm Nintendo of Europe's Twitter confirmed that having two of the games is not the only way of getting Mewtwo. Just not free.

Excited about Ridley, otherwise indifferent. I get that it's nice to have an old character make a comeback, but I really would have preferred a character who has been overlooked for a long time, like Lloyd. On the other hand, it looks like DLC might be a bigger factor in this game than first indicated, so I'll hold out hope.

How was he not included in the game to begin with?? Also, is Nintendo really saying that I have to buy a WiiU and a 3ds copy of the game to be able to play him? What the heck!? I will be MAD if that is true.

wow there are so many accusations of a cash grab with regards to buying both versions to get mewtwo. For those who don't want to buy both versions for whatever reason there seems a fairly obvious work around. register a friend's copy of the one you don't intend to buy on club Nintendo. There'll likely be many more 3DS smash games in people's collections but I'm sure the internet can bring together the two halves somehow to save people some coin. Smash bros is already a big selling franchise and with it now on 3DS the franchise is already raking in more than if it were only on the home console so I think it is a little glib to say they're doing it just for the money. To me it seems they're doing it to give people more of a genuine reason to buy both.

I was originally primarily interested in just the wiiU version as I don't use public transport and don't really play my 3DS on the go all that much so if the 3DS version's only selling point was you can play it away from home then I probably wouldn't have been tempted to buy it but now that there is even more incentive I'm in.

@GeminiSaint Oh, my apologies, I wasn't aware one could use MewTwo without both versions, there's been a lot of misinformation, apparently.

@Porky Still, I don't support this kind of DLC distribution.
