I have both. I wouldn't have both if WiiU had mainline sports titles. The Show (Sony exclusive, I know) Nba2k, NHL are all absent from the WiiU lineup. I owned a Wii and Xbox 360 last-gen.
Idk why but I'm way more interested in the WiiU version than the PS4 version. Maybe its because I'm not used to playing such games on Nintendo consoles. I think the gamepad will be utilized nicely as well considering titles like ZombiU and Rayman.
I don't mind, as long as its optional. The toys should be different Nintendo characters other than what's already in the game. I really don't want to buy little figurines so I can play as Mario or Link..
40+ million people own a 3DS, around 6 million own a WiiU. All of the SSB software sales are going into Nintendo's pockets, Why wouldn't they want to sell Smash to a wider audience? They have the capabilities to have a handheld SSB that they didn't have before. Both versions will be successful. Nothing beats the local multi-player the WiiU will offer anyways. SSB is a huge reason a lot of people bought a WiiU so I don't think having a 3DS version out first is going to stop them from buying.
I played it at D&B a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it. Its a very arcadey Mario Kart. There is a voice that narrates the whole race. Sounds sort if like the guy in NFL blitz. I didn't like some weapons. There was one where it turns your kart into a cake? Lol. I don't know what it did. There was a line for the game. People seemed excited.
Just have gamepad optional for off TV play...don't ditch it but I think people can get their dual screen fix with the 3DS...patch the main screens and some of the games that require it...offer a $200 WiiU with pro controller and 3Dworld or MK8.....I guarantee it will sell well despite being a "lesser" ps4 Xbone...it will appeal to kiddies, parents and hardcore gamers a like more so than now at that price point....how bout offering an e-shop credit if you trade in your original Wii!!!
Nintendo can still bounce back just like they did with the 3DS...its time to focus on the WiiU in 2014 like the 3DS in 2013...new bundles will be released..big games will come out..surprises in store ..sales will rise...going mobile isn't it...most folks who want Nintendo on mobile can just download ROMS

Maybe not all of the levels will use the gamepad/stylus combo?

Re: E3 2014: Nintendo Planning To Release Amiibo Figures for Entire Super Smash Bros. Roster
I don't really get it. What's the advantage of the amiibo if I can just pick the character in the game without having the toy?
