Did you not read the last page at all. Every other post on that page gives a source for the 21st
No. I read it days before I even saw the last page.
They wouldn't release it on Black Friday. Just by then. Having it out already on Black Friday would be great for Nintendo, on Black Friday may be too crazy, I agree.
Yeah I'm not sure why people think Nintendo would want to have the game for sale on the biggest shopping day of the year. Seems silly to me too.
True, but being on sale wouldn't have them lose money. It is the biggest shopping day of the year.
If they do release the game near black Friday then they are most likely going to cut down the price (a lot obviously) and selling all their copies (near the end of the day) half price is just about the same as any regular person going into a store and buying it fully with a few more copies left. That's how I see it.
By that logic parents wouldn't buy the new Call of Duty games every year for their kids... However the cesspool is always increasing. If anything parents will think of it as a different game because it's on a different console. Parents aren't that dumb/smart.
I was being sarcastic. It would be asinine of Nintendo to not have Smash Bros. available on Black Friday.
They don't have to do excessive price cutting, and especially not half off. Even if they did, it would be relatively good for them. Large amounts of software sold is good, especially if they're selling systems with it.
Is that sarcastic? I don't mean to belittle the post; I simply didn't catch the sarcasm if it was meant to be there.
No it's not sarcasm I was being serious with it.
No need for a pardon.
Amiibos could possible get discounted prices for Black Friday, especially if bought with Wii U games and stuff. Nintendo is going to dominate Black Friday if Smash and Amiibos are out alongside a new Pokemon.No need for a pardon.
Yeah, a lot of times those markdown prices are simply for retailers to compete. They'll make bundles and "buy __ get __ __% off" sales and offer you gift cards for return visits. The publishers themselves still get paid the same regardless for the physical copies they sell them, so it's not like NINTENDO themselves would be discounting it.
Plus, a game that new likely won't be discounted at all, if it in fact comes out on the 21st. Nintendo's biggest releases before last Black Friday weren't discounted anywhere that I saw.
Delays happen. But the original plan was obviously for December 3, 2007, and that was rushing it. The game still had much more to complete.
I've been hearing November 21st from everywhere. GameStop, Toys R Us, Best Buy employees (not really the place itself). I'm hoping this is the real release date! o.o does that mean Japan will be getting it in October though or will it be a world wide release?
Please, let's not start that up. I think it would take more than a few months to do that.
Don't think we'd get a worldwide release, although it may happen since Pokemon is releasing on the same day in Japan as it is in North America. So perhaps they'll launch Smash U with it over there as well, however it would be weird to have them get a longer wait between 3DS and Wii U version. We'll see, I'm 50/50 on a worldwide release for the U version although I do think the 21st is the date for America.
You again. I think the mechanics added to the game are great, and the ones removed can be added within the timeframe between the demo and launch, no need to delay the game to add Melee stuff for the sake of adding Melee stuff when they are already implementing techniques that are new and create a way for competitive play. Nintendo won't delay this game.
That seems early... unless they confused it with the Japan release? Which would be the same distance between version releases (Japan Sept 13th and Oct 24th, US Oct 3rd and Nov 21st, makes sense).
I think that date being the Japanese release makes a lot of sense.
2015 is too pessimistic. Post-black friday is the worst case scenario here.
Yeah it would be very weird, I'm just guessing, it'll kinda suck running around with the 3DS version while Japan already has the Wii version. But oh well, it'll make for some fun gameplay videos to watch I suppose.
Just to let you know. I HAVE erased quite alot of the background to show you the game only without it looking messy.
Why would I want a delay to make the game worse?
I'd say at least a fifth if the 44 million people that own 3ds's, which is more then if Every person who had a Wii U bought one.
