SSB for 3DS Sakurai says Ice Climbers were cut from SSB4 due to 3ds limitation

I call lies! Sakurai just wanted to make people mad and release it as DLC! (or maybe the duo took up too much space because of 2 entities being sorta op)

This is crap... I really wanted to play as Ice Climbers on the 3DS version. This makes me sad.... Oh well it's time to download an emulator to play the original Ice Climbers..... or I can play SSBB on the Wii..... Just don't know if anyone plays anymore.

They need to introduce an update, which gives new characters and not them available via DLC, that just annoys me off. I would rather get it for free than have to pay £15 for a new character....

I liked using Ice Climbers in Melee, (After I figured out the controls) they were awesome and 2 things. One, I think Ice Climbers should have a new game come out and 2, HOW DOES THE 3DS NOT HAVE ENOUGH PROCESSING POWER FOR ICE CLIMBERS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Well, take into consideration that the Ice Climbers are two separate full models. Don't use the "Rosalina and Luma" excuse as Luma has a very simple model and many of its movements are just mirroring Rosalina. Imagine having 8 semi-individual models all at once on the 3DS version. What about if you were online? That would be lag city! I miss the Ice Climbers, too, but the cut was necessary. The roster had to be consistent between the Wii U and 3DS versions, and if a character can't function in one, they can appear in the other. Simple as that.

Once again Ice Climbers should've been Ice Climber.
