Nintendo of Europe Moves Up Smash's Release Date To November

[The Derrit]

In an unusual turn of events, Nintendo of Europe has moved the release date of Smash Bros. for Wii U - but not in the direction you'd expect. Instead of a delay, Smash Bros. for Wii U has been moved up, to the 28th of November. It's rare to hear of titles being released early, especially ones of such magnitude as Smash, so consider this a Halloween treat from Nintendo to you!

​

The Derrit doesn't live in Europe but if he did, he'd be excited. Congrats Eurofriends! Chat with him on Twitter at @TheDerrit.

Hopefully I can have the money for it by then.

 

[DunnoBro]

So does this mean US can have it now?

 

[CCTANK93]

That's awesome. I'm not from Europe, but I'm happy that they get to play the game earlier than expected.

Now I'm just waiting for Nintendo of Japan to reveal their real release date: Tomorrow

 

[LordVacation]

Seems suspicious.
Only three weeks away if they delay it even a week my heart will shatter.

 

[Minato Arisato]

Huh.

...This is unexpected.

 

[Blargg888]

Congrats Europe!

Holy crap I just noticed Sonic has been added to the promo art.

Along with other character's but they're irrelevant.
