3DS HARDWARE LIMITATIONS MEANT SHEIK AND ZELDA WERE DEVELOPED AS SEPARATE CHARACTERS OCTOBER 1, 2014 SILVERSHADOWFLY 85 COMMENTS Super Smash Bros director Masahiro Sakurai has given fans an explanation as to why Zelda and Sheik, as well as Samus and Zero Suit Samus areseparate charactersrather than alt-characters as seen in previous versions of the franchise. According to new translationsfrom Sakurai's Famitsu column, hardware limitations on the 3DS meant the team needed to develop those aforementioned characters entirely separate "It's basically due to the 3DS' limitations. It was impossible to have both characters exist together [as one] on 3DS. However, reaching that limit can sometimes lead in good directions. Transforming characters had the drawback of ambiguous tactics and such, and I believe that they have become more fresh now

Removing Transformations was a good thing though, so that's one thing the 3DS did right

Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog Storyboard drawings for the intro to Super Smash Bros. show that the Mario toy was originally planned to have soulless blank eyes before being brought to life by Master Hand. Below is a mock-up of what the scene could have looked like if this idea was left in.

Huh. I always thought it was taking a page from the Brawl mods, only making it better by providing new moves.

Well, waddya know. The same limitations that prevented the Ice Climbers from being in gave us one of the best things about the new games. Truly bittersweet.
