In addition to holding back the WiiU version (and probably greatly because of it), the Smash3D scene is a freakin' graveyard already. That and the Slide Pad really doesn't lend itself well to tight Smash control.
[spoiler=Ice Climber Rant]
They could've ABSOLUTELY made the Icies work in Sm4sh. Simply get rid of the secondary (making him/her solo like in the original game) and make his/her abilities somewhere between Solo and Paired Climbers; costumes would consist of both Popo and Nana. This would also eliminate the logistical confusion of how they'd interact with Sm4sh ledges. Not to mention that hardware issues by just having one Icy - if you think about it, the 3DS probably also played a part in entirely separating Zelda/Sheik and Samus/ZSS. Most of all, however, a solo Climber would remove the potential for the character to be janky, since that was a problem in both Melee and Brawl.[/spoiler]
The only way I can derive pleasure from Smash3D is if and when people start porting more of those models to Brawl, so we can have Sm4sh models that don't make Brawl/PM take quite noticeable frame drops. (Who knew WiiU models weren't designed to run on the Wii?)
