...I'm not morning them. Because I don't think there out.

Think: There are two series that have a Smash Run enemy but no playable character (besides SSE): Ice Climber and Rhythm Heaven. You can back this very, very much with Rhythm Heaven. They don't have anything, a song, a stage, a character, representing them, yet they have a Smash Run enemy and a trophy? That goes beyond what the Ice Climber have going for them.

Sakurai may have destined them to be gone with this trophy and his statement that the Wii U version will have the same characters...but don't you put any stock in this destiny hogwash! He may just make a miracle happen, and bring this roster to 50. I think he will. And so I hold my sadness for another day.

Sakurai talks lack of Ice Climbers in Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS, as well as release dates

- Ice Climbers were running in the Wii U version
- due to the required hardware power, the team couldn’t make them work in the 3DS game
- with Ice Climbers unlikely to have another installment in their franchise, high priority wasn't given to them
- Wii U/3DS versions having different release dates is due to debugging
- if both games shared the same release date, the titles could have slipped to 2015
- Akihiro Toda, who was behind the texts in the Mother series, wrote the trophy descriptions

Well...I think im going to give up. Though I'll still have some hope, it just sucks the 3DS version will probably hold the Wii U version back unfairly like this.

Expected, but sad all the same. Has me a little sad they didn't just say it's ok to give the 3DS and Wii U versions different rosters, but ah well. Hopefully they return in Smash 5.

Interesting to hear they couldn't release them on the same day in 2014 though, huh. I clearly need to learn more on game development and debugging.

The author explains why Lucas's trophy description is so emotional too :isaac:

You know, all they had to do was drop the coupling system. I mean if Charizard can leave his team, then Popo can go Solo. And make Nana an alt costume. Buff up his individual attacks, give him a new Up+B, and BOOM! ICE CLIMBER joins the fray. But no... too much for Sakurai.

The magic of Ice Climbers is that they stick together.

What he really should have tried to do was change the gimmick around, as in, not have Nana act as a second Popo, to get it to work, so make thwm comparable to Rosalina & Luma. But...that's where low priority comes in to prevent them from bothering with them.

I agree too! They should take away Link's sword, Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch, Shulk's Monado, Little Mac's fists, Rosalina's Luma, Robin's magic, Jigglypuff's jiggly, etc etc

In fact every character should be the exact same without any cool gameplay differences between characters.

We'll call it Average Smash Bros

Haha. I didn't mean it like that. I'm just saying that if the 3DS couldn't handle the ice climbers, they could have dropped nana so that that Popo could still be in the game.

I know, I'm just being funny don't hate me :mewtwo:

Anyways, with the new 3DS and it's better RAM, do you think we might be seeing Ice Climbers there, and if so, how would it work when playing with non-new 3DS?

They'll be in the New Nintendo 3DS exclusive version, Super Smash Bros 3DS Ultimate. All non-New 3DS owners can't play with our kind :g&w:

Interesting. I wonder how far into the game that the Ice Climbers were taken out, given that they had this and the polar bear in Smash Run.

I'm rather curious of this too after that heartbreaking trick discovered in the above video. I suppose that since they had to actually test Ice Climbers in the 3DS version, they had to make them a model and attacks and sounds and everything, so it would make sense they had a lot of data made for them. Interesting......
