NO ICE CLIMBER WII U EXCLUSIVE!

The Wii U people get all the good stuff.

8 Player Smash, the Pirate Ship stage, the bigger stages, Event Mode, Special Orders, My Music, ALL OF IT.

While it would be cool to see the Ice Climbers come back, I say it's all or nothing.

'Oh, but we could just make a 3DS exclusive character to make up for it.'

No. That wouldn't make sense. An Ice Climber Wii U exclusive would only be a thing because the character doesn't work on 3DS. With that logic, a 3DS exclusive character would have to be a character that would only work on 3DS. Otherwise, the Wii U people will complain about how they don't have that character until finally Sakurai breaks and releases that character for Wii U too. It just wouldn't work.
