The likely reason for Japan getting it last is due to the handheld preferred culture over the more western console preference.

Though, people often ignore the things the US does get first and complain about what it doesn't get. I wish they would follow the Pokemon Company's worldwide release example, especially for such a big multi-player game.

Not gonna lie, when I saw this thread I immediately went to the site, and when I saw the release date posted up, I almost back flipped out of my seat.

Let me just say what Sakurai should have done: There are well-known leaks about the release date. I'm sure that Sakurai has heard of them, whether from finding them himself or being told by an employee. To "disconfirm" true leaks and "get rid of" true side leaks (e.g. tower of smash), they should slightly move the release date. Maybe release it on the 27th, maybe the 18th.

That'd be a bad move though, as this releases on Black Friday, most likely to increase sales.

If anyone is wondering why it's being released in the US first, it's probably because November 21st is right in the middle of the biggest shopping week in the US, which occurs every year in the week surrounding Thanksgiving. Maybe NoA determined it would be the most commercially advantageous timing, whereas in Japan and elsewhere the timing is different.

Set it on my phone calender. :p I cannot wait! I am not able to drop 200 bucks on a 3DS with Smash so I've been still waiting to play. Now only 4 days remain until I can. :D

And you're incredibly selfish, self-righteous and arrogant. And in the same threads, you're trying your hardest to tooting your horn until the universe goes deaf over your baseless assumptions upon others. But I'm going to one-up you by ignoring you. We're seriously done here. Otherwise, I'm reporting you for being off-topic and harassment.

Aside from that, it could've been a little sooner or later, but I guess the 21st will have to do.
He was talking about how ungrateful you were acting.
I mean, the game is coming out, and your whining about the release date?

The game isn't even out yet, and you guys are complaining. groans~

Also, reporting someone over someone else opinion, is just dumb.
Oh, your going to report me over my opinion now, I can see you already clicking on it. :troll:

The only good thing about living in 'Murica, early releases of games.
I'd rather wait 2 extra weeks and stay in Europe. But still doesn't make sense that big games aren't released at the same time worldwide.

Nah, ignoring sounds better. Besides, I'm not whining about anything. I'm just saying it's a disappointing but acceptable release date.

2/10 btw
