I personally think they should of held back the release of the 3DS version in order to allow the Wii U version to release first for a number of reasons but on the good side of things, at least they aren't coming out at the same time. I had planned to get both, and while that idea hasn't changed, I have no intention on playing the new Super Smash Bros on my own through the 3DS rather than playing it for the first time with my brothers via the Wii U.
As for the Direct overall, I'll go onto the other two news threads to say about many of the other details mentioned but my thoughts on the direct on a whole was that it was informative. In terms on offering me details and explanations for various in game matters, it was satisfying, and the manner in which it was presented was mind-blowing. That said, it was also filled with a few disappointments, the worse of which I feel to be the lack of in battle transformations for characters.
Oh yeah, loved seeing the Smash Run game mode for 3DS. That looks like it will be a ton of fun. With the 3DS version coming first, I do wonder how they plan to do the rest of the reveals. After the 3DS version comes out, not much point in not just revealing all of the other newcomers, they both have the same roster and the 3DS spoilers will inevitably be revealed everywhere else in a less epic and amazing way as compared to the Wii U visuals character trailers that Sakurai presents us with.
