In a late-notice broadcast via epn today, Nintendo of America has announced Super Smash Club for Canada, which will be a web hub and a series of events to bring together Super Smash Bros. fans in the country. The main meeting point will be nintendo.ca/supersmashclub.
In the first week Nintendo wants gamers to use Twitter and Facebook to define the 'rules' of Super Smash Club, and then from 1st October gamers will be asked to submit examples of 'fandom'; that will entail artwork, cosplay and so on. From October 18th to November 8th there'll then be eight events around the country where fans can get together to play some Smash Bros.
Check out the official website for all the details. Will any of you Canadian gamers be heading to Super Smash Club?

They're teasing us, that's what I'm going to believe.
The first rule of Super Smash Club: Don't talk about Super Smash Club. (Ah yes, the tagline has beaten me to the punch)
"The first rule of Super Smash Club..."
IS YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT SUPER SMASH CLUB...
@TheWindWaker Dang it, you beat me by 15 seconds!
They better bring it to U.S.
@StarDust4Ever I'm sure we won't be the only ones. Nintendo is practically begging for it!
Well its nice that they are doing something here in Canada but it only makes a difference if your in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal. There are other cities. Where is the prairie province representation?
Meh, in Canada these events are always in the same places. If you don't live in or near Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, St. johns, Winnipeg or a couple other major centres then it's hardly worth it.
Always get a little jealous when they run promotions like the one this summer going city to city. I ain't driving hours to stand in line and play some demos though.
Be nice if they showed some love for other cities, and not just Toronto, etc.
Well this stuff just popped out of nowhere... Is there anywhere we can watch the video? Also, the link is broken.
Closest one to me is Montreal.... a good 13 hour drive....
Two links are broken guys.
You need to add http:// in front of your link.
(The blue one, not the green one )
@blueblurninja btw I finally got my code. Better late than never I guess!!
As for the article, pretty cool idea. I'm definitely all for more organized smash meetups.
♫ I wanna be, the very best! ♫ Like no one ever was~~~!!! ♫
It's more than just adding http:// - that's already there.
If you copy the link, this is what it comes up as: https://www.nintendolife.com/nintendo.ca/supersmashclub
This is what it should be (Landing Page with jumps to specific info):
http://www.nintendo.com/en_CA/whatsnew/detail/3GcEaA4O5Naa6bjT6V5zHXrzdLcRZFpt
(It appears as though they haven't set up some of the external links from the landing page yet)
I was mentioning on another site, it seems like we're one step closer to officially endorsed, nationwide tournaments (almost like the E3 invitational and Comic Con tournament).
If Nintendo really wanted to, they could push annual competitions on nearly the same level as the Pokemon World Championships. I mean, tourneys like EVO already exist, might as well get folks jumping into your own boat.
Not me. I live far from Toronto and don't drive, plus I am not dragging my two year old to one of these. But it is good news for those gamers that live in those cities.
Unfortunately I don't live close enough to any of those cities to be able to attend.
First rule of Smash Clus is noone speaks of smash club
Not in my area.
I don't live near there sadly, but if any of my minions are over there then they can go for it!
h, damn, I'm going
I'm quite curious if we're allowed to use the demo to participate, if not then I guess I'll have to use my saved money for the 3DS version. [Still going to buy the Wii U version ]
Edit: Looks like we're allowed to use the demo version as well, quite convenient if you ask me.
Should this be launched in the UK, it'll more than likely only be in some English cities going by the last "UK" tour Nintendo did. Maybe they'll incorporate it into the Streetpass groups over here? There will be something, question is when.
Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver . . . and Edmonton, lol.
Hopefully it comes to the US, I have no one to play 3DS with!
Come to Kamloops, Reggie! Lol
Most stereotypical Canadian Dipiction
First rule of Super Smash Club should be: Tell EVERYBODY about Super Smash Club! ..and then the usual stuff like pick and lose a fight against a complete stranger and so on..
@Rob_mc_1 here here. We never get any love.
Reggie's pancakes for Smash!
Another inexplicable localisation of a feature/event that it would be nice to have available across regions/nations....Why do you do that, Nintendo? Surely there's a way to make the Nintendo gamers' experience more consistent no matter where you live and play. Why so much difference between the extra content, Club Nintendo, promotions etc? It is appreciated, so why so locally limited?
Maple syrup OMG Reggie is stereotyping XD
Well, my campus has a group they call the Super Smash Club.. We are having a big event the day after SSB3DS launches.. SUPER EXCITE!
@kereke12 You're, you're kidding right? You have to be.
Wow an exclusive feature for Canada. I guess they deserve it since they never get anything from Nintendo.
@jjmesa16 yay, we sure don't we got to try the n64 before americans, and we got the wii mini first...wahoo?!?
First Smash club rule: No items, Final Destination, Fox only.
That's pretty cool. Oh, uh, your link is messed up, by the way.
The first rule of Smash Club is to talk about it non-stop and bug everyone until all the people you know have it.
Wow, nothing at all for the East coast.
You know, it's not not Nintendo America when they have their own Canada division.
@Kyloctopus Having a Canadian division should make sense for Nintendo of America since Canada is part of North America.
Reggie has the best office clutter.
I respect Reggie for the poutine reference.
...now all he needs to acquire are a taste for butter tarts and Canadian Bacon!
@Mario500 Not when one is called "Nintendo America" and the other one is called "Nintendo Canada"
