Super Smash Bros. for Wii U European Release Date Brought Into November

Cheers!

Thats nice for the european gamers

Australia is 29th now as well. Great news indeed

Well that's good but i'm still not getting the game before december.

*Weekly intervals.

Japan getting a game this large last? Wow, that's pretty surprising to me, at least we can destroy them on day one of online.

@arronishere Really? That's pretty cool.

Just checked Nintendo Australia and NZ twitter and facebook. This is happening there as well!

Good news is always welcome.

Woo only 4 weeks to go! Now I don't have to wish away all of November, just 28 days of it

According to the Wii U Facebook page: "The Super Smash Bros. for Wii U + Mario amiibo bundle will still launch on 5th December"...

...which makes the bundle more odd because for the EXACT SAME PRICE you could order both separately and get both on November 28th, LOL!

Huzzah indeed!

Now please move Captain Toad to December!

Smart smart move Nintendo.
If theres one game which can go toe to toe with the so called big boys, this is it. Get Smash in there, show em all who's boss.
This really is great, november was lookingto suck ass with its yearly updates of AssCreed, Cod, Halo remakes, etc zzzzzzzz. How people dont get sick of the same crap baffles me. (Dragon Age, LBP 3 excluded)
Now theres gonna be a big new release, one fans are truly waiting for. Stick it to em guys

Wohoo

I live in the states, so it doesn't apply to me, but I'm really happy for you all!

Doesn't mean much to me since I don't have a Wii U just yet. (but I'll probably get one before the Mewtwo promotion)

I'll be getting Alpha Sapphire instead. Still great news for those getting Smash Wii U on day one!

Makes sense as that's when the Amiibos get released. Just preprder every single Amiibo except the Mario one which comes with the smash bros game I preordered.

In an alternate universe:
"You know how we said Super #SmashBros. for #WiiU would arrive in December in Europe? Change of plan: Q1 2015 "

Nice! i can get it earlier

This is really cool! Kudos to Nintendo for all the hard work on this game, especially Sakurai and team.

Hurry up, November 21st!

@Expa0 Please understand.

A whole week earlier? Whoopdy flamin' doo.

That means we will get both:
Smash Bros. for WiiU
Pokemon ORAS
and
Persona Q same day?!

That's just insane.

@Scirm Yep.

It's expensive enough for me to get both games and now smash is out the same day too. I was going to get smash on release day but looks like I will have to get it on it's original launch date.

Europe isn't getting screwed! It's a miracle!

@Ravravine You and me both, man. Looks like I'm skipping Pokémon for one month later, I don't nearly earn enough to buy three games full price at launch.

Yay! Thank you Nintendo of Europe, thank you!

Also, Japan is still getting it on December 6th? Weird... Or maybe it's payback for Flipnote 3D

The decision of getting Smash Wii U or Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is even harder now. But it still amazing news for us European Smashers.

Luigi voice: "Aww yeah!"

(Now about Captain Toad...)

Congrats guys. And despite those who say its only a week, having it circled on your calendar end of Nov has to be better than flippin the page to Dec.

So are amiibo Nov 28th too?

Japan can wait until Dec, they get Captain Toad Nov 13, same day as the MK8 Wii U bundle, which may have contributed to low Wii U sales of late, some are waiting.

Only 7 days to beat Dragon Age I & Sonic Boom? Challenge accepted .

Congrats Europe!!

DAAAMN! The original date worked well for me.

To be honest this makes the one week delay on Pokemon even more annoying.

At least it avoids the awkward having Amiibo out for one week and nothing to use them on.

I think it needs to be said that Nintendo Europe has changed massively fir the better in the last 5-6 years. So many instances of good release dates, special editions, localisations, special offers its hard to imagine how bad they used to be

Fantastic news.

Great, now move Captain Toad to December

I'm guessing Japan isn't under the same 19 days to Christmas shopping pressures as the west is?

So instead of delaying games, they do it the other way around now? You are really unpredictable, Nintendo.

Jokes aside, congratulations, Europe. The least waiting for Smash, the better.

Nice!

Hooray! Now all we need is for ORAS to come out to Europe on say days America is getting it. That would be a miracle.

The opposite of game delays!

Great. NOW I HAVE TO DECIDE ON EITHER POKEMON OMEGA RUBY OR SMASH BROS. THIS DECISION IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND CONFUSING THAN INTENDED.

@Starwolf_UK It's probably a good thing Europe doesn't get ORAS on the 21st as far as the eShop server goes. The eShop will probably crash anyway though!

I have to wait for Christmas anyway 😞

Same day as ORAS... ugh. Not gonna be a release day purchase for me then. Will wait to christmas probs...

Surprising and excellent news!

Anyone remember the disaster that was last Christmas? Anyone? Just me? My mum? Oh well.

A week isn't really a big deal. And the West gets ALOT of Wii U stuff before Japan.
It is console related so..
Remember the Wii U itself released later in Japan, so that's not really anything new.

Now if they can just bring Captain Toad forward into December...

I was a bit annoyed at first that we were getting it so late in Australia, but I got over it pretty quickly since we're still getting Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire more or less on time and i've got the new 3DS XL on preorder. Still, glad to hear they've closed the gap a bit.

Good news!

YES! I just hope Amazon update it so it gets delivered then as I've already ordered it.

If only the cover of the game was like that picture with all the characters...that looks so cool!
