Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS won't use touch controls

Despite the Wii U's and 3DS' touch screens, the next Super Smash Bros. games won't use touch controls. According to Sakurai, "You can think of situations where, if you implemented touch controls on Wii U, then the GamePad player would have advantages over other players. We want to balance evenly across Wii U and the 3DS versions, so there’s a balance issue there, which means you would have to avoid using touch screen controls.” He also mentions that there was the possibility of motion controls for Brawl, but Sakurai wanted players to use whichever controller they wanted. According to him, “Back on Brawl, there was the possibility of incorporating motion control with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers. Our priority has always been to allow players to use the controller they want to use. Having that balance amongst the different controllers is very important. We want to give each player the control experience they want while keeping gameplay balance."

I think this was a very wise decision, it would have taken away the recipe of Smash and it would make the controls very different. Though touch-screen used for smash attacks wouldn't have been such a big of a deal, what I meant to say is that we shouldn't rely on it.
