Smash Wii U SSB Wii U Release Date Unofficially Revealed?

[JavaCroc]

I hope this thread isn't redundant given the topic of the Wii U SSB release date, but this image was recently posted on Twitter.

Notice it says "Game Release Date subject to change."

So my question is: what do you think is the Wii U game's release date? Is this picture accurate?

 

[Gameboi834]

If that's a Friday before Black Friday then I think it's genius

 

[LordVacation]

I think it will be Janurary or February honestly.

 

[Nielicus]

We've been hearing Nov 21st for a while now, I think it could really be legit

 

[Nintendotard]

I think it will be Janurary or February honestly.

They are bent on releasing it this year so they're going to do that

 

[LordVacation]

They are bent on releasing it this year so they're going to do that

I hope so.

The Brawl delays still haunt my dreams.

 

[PikaSamus]

I hope so.

The Brawl delays still haunt my dreams.

2006: "COMING SOON"
2007: nope lol
2008: ok it's done

November 21st would be ideal. It'll land two days before my conception :-)

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

If this is true, I am actually excited! I can wait that long before the game comes out for the Wii U.

[Overclocked]

I hope that's the date. It's also the same date as Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, so that might just be a very big day for releases.

 

[Triblaze]

I think that is the date, and would make the most sense. Seriously can't wait! I hope a Wii U version demo comes out around 3DS release date. My life would be complete!

 

[Pazzo.]

November 21st, eh? Sounds like a good time to release DLC.

 

[Aeon Lupin]

Yeah, I think that's it. Releasing it close to Black Friday as the biggest game of that period, its flying off store shelves.

 

[LasermasterA]

November 21st would be ideal. It'll land two days before my conception :-)

It will land exactly one day before my birthday. Pokemon and Smash, this has got to be one of my best birthdays in quite a while!

Now if I get Isaac as playable then....... This is how my birthday will go!

P.S. Your avatar is the most beautiful Rosalina fan art I have seen so far. Where did you get it from? (I couldn't find it anywhere!)

 

[Xinc]

Sakurai pls. I want to be home in time for this.

 

[Stompman]

Yeah, I've seen several sources that have indicated the 21st, also, from having worked in retail, if you try to set Black Friday as the release date, it's going to hurt you in the long run, as some bigger box stores may not be all that accessible due to the other shoppers, and with those stores having much bigger price tag hot items, they might not put much consideration into displaying Smash properly. However, I think that if it's a week before, that does give retailers time to set up any displays for Smash, and then it'll be ready to go with minimal effort for the biggest US shopping day.

In short, as soon as I get to work on Monday, Im' taking the 21st of November off

 

[Oort]

I think it will be Janurary or February honestly.

We already have a full game with all of the characters programmed, I don't see why it would take that long to finalize the wii u version.

 

[PLATINUM7]

would they really release it the same day as pokemon?

 

[Chompjil]

Haven't they done dual big game releases before, last year I think it was a Link between Two worlds and Mario 3D World in the same weekend

 

[Renji64]

That would be godlike if i only had to play smash 3ds for a short awhile i'm ready for better controls and hd visuals.

 

[Ascended]

Last year had Mario 3D World and A Link Between Worlds on the same day, so kicking it up a notch with Pokémon and Smash on the same day isn't without the realm of possibility.

I did not know this. I'm willing to bet on the 21st now if that's the case.

 

[κomıc]

I think a month or two ago, November 21st was shown as the date at Best Buy in some ad in store. Looks like this lines up very well with it. Makes sense. It is also the same day as Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Nintendo pulled this last year with LoZ:ABW and Super Mario 3D World. It was ALSO the same day Xbox One released coincidentally lol. Guess they are going to do it yet again for two big releases!

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Releasing this on the same day as Pokemon would be really weird. Two of their own titles would be competing with each other which isn't really a good thing. Though it is right before the holiday where sales would probably pick up both of them.

Personally I don't think that date is legit but I didn't think Nintendo would a lot of thing in the past few weeks that all happened so what do I know.

 

[JetpackX]

Lots of different retailers have been saying November 21st for the release date...
Maybe that's the release date?

 

[Yakko93]

I hope they got it right.

 

[Mysteltainn]

I really want to believe this, but Brawl haunts me, lol.
