October 3rd release date confirmed.

[xxMiles]

And the people who said this was getting delayed were right.

Ugh, I'm just, like, so disappointed/upset right now...

 

[SupermanNKO]

Ya this has made me pretty mad don't say summer if your not gonna release it in summer, I'm legit not even excited any more knowing I have a longer wait hopes always get high just to be knocked down

 

[NeonS4]

How disappointing, I was hoping to play the game during Summer, and he even said it will come out in Summer...
Guess its back to Mario Kart 8.

 

[praline]

October isn't Summer Nintendo.

 

[KurashiDragon]

Can't really say I'm to thrilled at an october release. It's not even summer. But this does give more time for more characters. Silver linings and all that.

 

[solitonmedic]

Well, we always have Smash Fest and Invitational to look forward to.

 

[Thor]

October isn't Summer Nintendo.

It is if you think hard enough, or believe global climate change has shifted the seasons.

But c'mon Nintendo, that's bull.

 

[pickle962]

To quote Shigeru Miyamoto "A delayed game can eventually be good, but a bad game is forever bad!"


With that said, Why not September? Okay October 3rd isn't that much into October, but still. So much for getting hyped to the point where for a while I was playing Project M every day in anticipation of pwning online noobs on smash 4's for glory mode! Guess its time to work on Borderlands 2, Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag, and kill/troll some mofo's on GTA Online in anticipation for when Rockstar adds heists hopefully later this month! (lets hope they don't sh*t in gamers cereal as well by announcing heists are pushed back some more and give us some lame DLC like the so called "hipster" dlc that's been leaked as of late)

 

[Greda]

I have no clue. NO CLUE WHATS GOING ON ANYMORE. MY HEART IS BREAKING AND REFORMING AT THE SAME TIME.

I was on the floor crying when October 3 came up. BUT I WAS YELLING WHEN PALUTENA GOT ANNOUNCED I CALLED IT, BOOM.

I want to hug a unicorn but throw myself out the window at the same time.

I'm kinda expecting the Wii U version to also be delayed as well to 2015 now.

 

[Xzsmmc]

I kind of expected this to be honest. Doesn't stop it (And the whole presentation really) from being massively disappointing.

 

[noticus]

so, winter 2014= july 2018, right?

 

[TheZapp]

Im really disappointed ;(, I was so excited to play this during the summer but I guess we have to wait :/

 

[Greda]

I'm kinda expecting the Wii U version to also be delayed as well to 2015 now.

It's going to happen.

To be honest, it killed the whole livestream for me. Disappointment to the max.

 

[SupermanNKO]

well i guess i can play this in the fall next to a bon fire or something but im seriously disappointed right now

 

[DrRiceBoy]

As with everyone else, I was very dissapointed when I heard about this...

 

[xLemmy_KoopaX]

Oh no...
The game looks great!
...but the release date is so annoying since I won't be able to play this game in my 6 week holidays.
Well, at least they are taking time to make this game amazing.

 

[stan423321]

I guess this is when summer officially begins in Australia.

Honestly, I can wait. What's worse is the implication of Wii U version getting pushed to 2015 later.

 

[BioZelink]

This disappointed me so much that i didn't even feel the hype for anything after that. Seriously why say summer if u aren't sure.

 

[Deleted member]

Dear Nintendo,

I love you but you have absolutely no concept of when the month of summer is.

Sincerely, I'm totally still buying this game

From reddit, I think it sums this up quite nicely.

 

[GamerGuy09]

Even though I'm looking forward to it. What is there even for in between now and Smash Bros? Is it another dry spell of Wii U games?

 

[HugoBoss]

"It won't be a Smash Bros game without delays!"

Looks like it, sadly. Everything looks super good but Nintendo kinda needs games to keep everyone sated until at least the 3DS release.

 

[yahooda]

If you guys go to the Japanese smash bros site you'll see that Japan is getting an earlier release.
http://www.smashbros.com/jp/3ds/
If you look at the bottom of the art work it says September 13, 2014

 

[BaPr]

That doesn't give me enough time to enjoy the game before Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

 

[Norm]

Well I was right on him taking as much time as possible to polish the game. I said August I'm disappointed but I'll get over it.

 

[Chauzu]

September 13th sounds good to me. Love my japanese 3DS.

 

[YaBoiobZ]

Ya I think Nintendo just got their whole community really upset with that release date.

 

[NekuShikazu]

My heart just sank ten times more, I know we still get a Smash Bros game, but I was so hyped that I got everything ready and I probably won't have time to play Smash. Also, October isn't summer.

 

[Lautsuu~]

While it is very upsetting, we all know we're gonna buy it asap and enjoy the hell out of it.

 

[Ultima777]

That sucks. Not summer. Well it came true for the japanese at least. But for america. IT WAS A LIE!!

 

[Lautsuu~]

JUST LIKE THE CAKE.

 

[IronFish]

Smash can't possibly have so much text that it take a whole goddamn month to localize, I mean come on! Can't we at least get a September release to? The only thing that can save my hype for the game is a Robin or Bandana Dee reveal later tonight...

 

[Ginger Hail]

Color me disappointed about the release date change, but they'll hopefully utilize the extra time to make the game ever better.

 

[NocturnalQuill]

So much for Summer. I knew it was too good to be true.

 

[Bassoonist]

Well, I guess it's still hot where I live in early October, so I'll count that as summer. Just this once. =P

 

[L9999]

Honestly felt like this, my Summer is officially ruined. I will not have enough money for both Smash 4 and Omega Ruby.

 

[LiteralGrill]

Technically, September when they get it in Japan is STILL summer...

 

[IronFish]

MOST PEOPLE DON'T LIVE IN JAPAN

 

[Mysteltainn]

MOST PEOPLE DON'T LIVE IN JAPAN

It is, however, a technicality they can use to mask delays, and the same will most likely be the case for the Wii U version. Us Wii U owners may not see the game until 2015, so 3DS owners should still be happy IMO.
