So Nintendo just gave fans the Smash character they've been wanting all along... except as an exclusively free download for when you buy both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the Super Smash Bros. games. This is quite the interesting move on Nintendo's part and does a great job for placing an incentive on obtaining both versions. As if the CDs weren't incentive enough.

MEWTWO

How do you feel about this move? For those who were either choosing not to get the 3DS version or were on the fence and hadn't yet, please answer the poll. All others can share in the thread/comments about how you feel regarding this move.

Total surprise. I was expecting them to maybe tie in an amiibo for this too but maybe not... or not yet....

This is kind of a bummer though for Mewtwo fans who don't have a 3DS though...

Let me ask everyone this... if not Mewtwo... which character COULD have persuaded you in the same way?

If they had done this to a character I actually cared about and wanted to play as, like Ness, I don't think it would have helped persuade me, but rather make me not want to get either version because screw that.

There isn't really a character out there that would say to me "Now I need to go spend $40 on the other game." Id just as soon pay for the character on their own.

Gun to my head? Simon Belmont.

Why would Nintendo spend the next six months developing a new DLC character (along with more new content, most likely) and then only offer him as a freebie for people who purchase both games?

There's absolutely no way Nintendo isn't going to give people the option to purchase him separately. The REAL reason to buy both versions is the sweet two disc soundtrack.

Mew who? I'm not that big into Pokemon so the addition of that guy is nothing special to me. I'm really impressed with the stage builder and the sheer amount of content. I thought the 3DS version was nuts. Boy was I wrong!

I'd always planned to buy both, so no.

I had planned on getting them both anyway. There simply wasn't any question in my mind about that!

And while I could care less about Mewtwo, I was excited to see the unexpected reveal. Very cool. The more fighters, the better - especially returning ones, as I'm a sucker for nostalgia. Come on Ice Climbers, Lucas, and Ivysaur!

@Jargon Well I don't have a Wii U so this sucks for me! Toss up 300 and 60, oh God...

I already planned on getting both, so this is a nice bonus.
