Lawful Neutral
It's silly to think that's the case for everyone. Some kids get absolutely spoiled.
That used to be the case for me, like 2-3 games a year. But whenever I asked for a console for Christmas or my birthday, I'd be damned sure my parents would get it. It worked out kind of weird that way.
Anyway, to add my input... I might have to side with Rex. Not for the same reasons, but I'll likely get Smash on 3DS and by the time the Wii U comes out, the version I already own may have satisfied whatever itch I had.
In addition, the 3DS version's psychics could largely be indicative of the Wii U's. If it's floaty or just bad, or if there is just *some* new addition people don't like to the core gameplay, they'll know it's on the console version and could potentially be turned off by it. This COULD be an advantage for Nintendo in that they could address every issue in the console release by paying attention to the player's feedback, but I doubt this will be the case.
I mean, when it comes down to it... I will have already played the game. Maybe not with the same shiny graphics or the same selection of levels, but nevertheless played it. However, I am also not the type to really get into a lot of couch-based multiplayer gaming due to a sparsity of friends, so that is probably also influencing me. If I were, I'm sure that if I liked the 3DS version I'd get the Wii U. Honestly, I'm not sure about what Nintendo's startegy here was. I don't necessarily agree or disagree with it, but their intentions largely elude me.
