Nintendo’s new Smash Bros. games for Wii U and 3DS will not be capable of cross-play functionality. However, Masahiro Sakurai confirmed to Joystiq that players will be able to take customized characters and transfer them to the Wii U version.

The specifics on the customizations aren’t entirely clear. But we do know that they aren’t related to costumes and won’t need to be unlocked through repetitive tasks. The developers want to avoid these kinds of tasks as the team makes a “stress free, easy connectivity” between the two versions.

In other news, Sakurai had nothing to say about the possibility of the level editor’s return, saying: “no comment.”

There’s a small bit of hope that Plants vs. Zombies 2 could be landing on the 3DS. Responding to a fan request for a release on Nintendo’s handheld, the game’s official Twitter account said that more news will follow after the game’s launch in July.

The original Plants vs. Zombies came out on the DS as a physical and downloadable game, so I see no reason why its sequel can’t end up on the 3DS. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Thanks to Ahmad A for the tip.

Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS will be similar to Brawl in many ways, but there will be plenty of changes as well. Tripping, for instance, has been removed.

The new Smash Bros. will be a change in direction as opposed to changes pertaining to fixes. Sakurai reiterated what we heard earlier today regarding his team’s attempt to blend the feel of Melee and Brawl.

“I would consider the changes that we’re making this time around not as fixes, but that we’re changing the direction. And so the vision for the overall balance of the game in Smash Bros Melee, it was sort of more focused towards more hardcore players. Then when it came around to making Brawl, this was a game that was targeting a Wii audience where there were a lot of beginner players, so it sort of leaned a little bit more in that direction. So now, for this time around, we’re sort of aiming for something that is in between those as far as the speed of the game. Because I don’t really think this time we’re in a situation where we’re trying to accommodate that many new players.”
