I have a 3ds xl and my buddy has a Wii U. We want to play smash together.
Can we online play on different platforms together?
I think the Nintendo website says yes but I cant tell for sure.
Also, for extra credit any major differences between the 2?

There are a few major new/changed mechanics that we currently know of:
- Random tripping has been removed; forced tripping is still in.
- You cannot grab a character if you've thrown them in the last second (no chaingrabs).
- There is no longer a difference in edge actions upon reaching 100% damage.
- Edgehogging has been removed; instead, the incoming character will steal the edge from the current occupant.
- It appears that swimming has been removed; characters will just fall through water as in Melee.
- Directional influence has been revamped. In previous games, you could change the angle of your knockback by holding perpendicular to it. In SSB4, you instead add a vector in your holding direction, which can alter both your angle and your distance.
- Characters at high damage deal slightly more knockback.
Sadly, there is no option in the controls menu to assign movement to the d-pad.
The only thing you can do with the slide pad, is switch off/on if up should jump
The d-pad is for taunting.

Best Answer
Unfortunately no, you cannot play together across platform as the versions do not share stages. You may, however, transfer characters across platform.
See the wiki for details on cross platform differences.
