The Offical release date thread

[TheMagicalKuja]

Ah, and there's the rub--how do you know that Summer would be rushing it? By May of this year, it will have had a longer development time than Brawl. And not to mention that Namco is more competent than the help Sakurai had with Brawl, and the fact that he's not throwing over 9000 newcomers or doing any pure SSE deal, and any reason why it would take 32 months (if everyone thinks it'll launch in November) rather than 28-29 (July/August) goes right out the window.

Except you know, the 3ds version, with its own models, textures, stages, coding, and music.

From what I see of the 3DS version, they're porting textures straight out of other games, the engine is pretty much the same, and the trophies are also straight model ports--if anything, 3DS is its own beast because of its Adventure mode, and Sakurai has mentioned 3DS and Wii U may not hit at the same time.

I am exp aug at the latest

3ds version might hit later though? I always got the feeling that Smash WiiU will get released earlier and the 3ds-version is the title that will just barely get done and make it this year. But I don't know, I could be totaly missunderstanding or my memory could be off about the stuff I've read concerning this, in the past. So take it as a guess, nothing more

Didn't Sakurai say at some point that the 3DS version will come out later than the WiiU version? Don't have a source because I'm not sure, but I swear I remember him saying something like that.

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

I don't think he confirmed it as being later, simply not out at the same time. It's speculated to be later because it'd make more sense.

The longer they go without an official release date the more I assume it's going to be the holiday season before we get this it would be the best time for it come out for Nintendo. They would just bank money then.

August at the earliest, next March as the latest, imho. November really seems like the safest bet.

I can't see it being August to early. I would **** a brick if it happened but I doubt it. March 2015 seem to far away everything we see looks pretty damn polished so I can't see it going on that long. November is the safe bet. I just wish they would give an official date. They'll probably just hold off till E3 since it's only three months away. But I want it now *sob* lol.

 

[Banjodorf]

Holiday season is the best option. True or not, I feel like the Betternet roster leak had the best idea, that being November for the Wii U version, Holiday season for the 3DS version.

It makes so much sense for the Wii U version to come out first, and would make up for there being another version and still convince people to buy Wii Us if they wanted to play the game asap.

 

[Reader]

My principle is to expect the worst. That way I can only be surprised positively, unless there will be delays.

 

[EnthusedPanda]

The Wii's online capabilities being totally disabled in May makes me believe that not only would the Wii U version come first, but that it's coming sooner than we think.

Alienating the remainder of Brawl/Project M players for any substantive amount of time is a bad move and they know it.

The only people crazy enough to be playing those still are probably getting the new games ASAP.

 

[Dropkick JD]

You know, I keep hearing "WII U SHOULD COME OUT BECAUSE THEN THEY COULD SELL MORE." As a guy who was and still is debating on the Wii U, I'd be pissed.

3DS is the majority. Wii U at Christmas, with a Smash Bros bundle would make much more sense to me.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

I heard that the 3ds version is coming out August 29th. Apparently it was leaked.

 

[soviet prince]

hope that's wrong was hoping it come in july at the latest

That would be disappointing. Waiting all summer for it only to have it release right after classes start again.

 

[Luigi#1]

Early August/late July please.

 

[Deleted member]

The release date will probably be revealed at E3. With that in mind, I don't see Nintendo announcing the game's release date only a month ahead of time.

I'm not expecting the 3DS version to launch until mid-August at the very earliest.

 

[PadWarrior]

I'm thinking end of August first week of September.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

3ds july - september

Wii u october - december.
