Other than texture, there's been almost nothing changed in nearly a decade.

Notably, the "M" on the cap looks like a sewn-on patch now.  Looking at all the other parts of the character, which have arguably gotten more plastic, it's a bit out of place.  Like, by by the same token, if they're going to go that route, why is the mustache still made of lumps of 3D modeling clay instead of a lot of individually distinguishable hairs?  I haven't played MP10, is there any particular in-game reason for the boy scout badge "M"?

I'm not even a dog person but this is a touching story.  It's great that she found a good home.

I can't even find the adapter anywhere in my area right now... I wish I had a dilemma that let me use GC controllers.  Personally, after getting used to the 3DS controls, I'd be fine with those for myself, but anyone else I wanna play with might not even have a 3DS, let alone want to use it as a controller.

Balance among a huge number of characters is possible. Project M has 42 and even the worst ones aren't considered bad, really, just not quite as good as the top.

I don't disagree, and Project M would probably still be my favorite SSB to play if it had Mega Man and Robin.  But still, some people do argue that balance can't happen with a lot of characters.  Of course, that's more an issue of developers' willingness to fine-tune it than their ability.  Of course, we're about to see a precedent set for official balance updates with the next SSB4 patch...

At least other people argue against too many characters for the sake of competitive balance.  This guy apparently just wants to be able to play as only the protagonists from only the most popular Nintendo titles, and wants the same constraints for everyone else.

it wouldn't make any sense for him to be in the Wii U version and not the 3DS version, because all of his games were handheld

Keep in mind, though, that this is the same company that is putting a bunch of their handheld titles only on their home console eShop.  I'm not really expecting 'em to make logical sense.

I guess I should be thankful it's giving Mega Man and Samus all the love that Capcom and Nintendo won't.

Smash Run is acceptable.  Not brain-meltingly fun with just CPUs, but acceptable.

I think pretty much the only problems that I have with this game at present are the terrible online and the fact that a Trophy has officially retconned Samus' Gravity Suit into a DBZ aura.

I've never finished a Final Fantasy game.  Of the ones I've played, the one in which I got closest (therefore the one that engaged me the most) was FFIV.
