The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Limited Edition Is Now Up For Pre-Order In Europe

Please release this in the U.S.!

That steel book is sweet. I've always loved my Metroid Prime Trilogy Steelbook. One of the coolest cases ever.

That...that is bloody gorgeous...dammit. Why no poster tho. I mean...we ALL want a poster right?

Already preordered less than an hour ago.

Does the Nintendo store take money now or on despatch?

I keep checking Amazon for the US version...nothing yet.

@Stocksy it's normally on despatch in UK

Hoping for a US steelbook release. I don't need all the other stuff but this game is definitely steelbook-worthy.

Saves a few quid too instead of ordering the game, controller and adapter on their own, even if you compare Smash's £50 price on other sites.

And assuming of course, you get an order in before they're all snapped up....

@GrailUK agreed, getting the game digital and don't care about GC controllers but would kill to have that poster!!

Anybody feel like translating their feelings on those currency equivalents for me? 89, $114, seems like a decent price for the bundle, but 59, $76, seems like a lot for the game, even with the steelbook. The other day I had guessed $119.99 in the US for the bundle if ti comes here, the game would be $59.99 b/c that's what games cost here. Even with a steelbook they wouldn't make it $69.99.

Still expecting a Nintneod Direct in September where they announce a Switch bundle. I do realize most of us here have a Switch, but I'm still expecting a bundle anyway.

Already got GameCube controllers and adapter

@Abaeron cheers mate

(In case anyone doesn’t know; you can also purchase the game + steelbook for £59.99 from Nintendo UK. Be quick...)

The steelbook is pretty cool, but even if this is released in North America I will probably pass. I already have plenty of GameCube controllers and an official adapter for the Wii U. I have bought way too many special editions for games and promptly forgotten the included extras. I’m happy with the standard game.

And I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be stupid enough to leak anything like this, but has anybody examined the art on the box to see if the remaining new characters might be on there?

It’s a great looking box, and would probably look good on display, but not sure if it’s worth the money as I already have the Wii U adapter with 4 Smash4 Gamecube controllers.

Live on Amazon Germany as well: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07GBTDS57/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_awd_s_g9BBBb8W03EZ6

Edit: pre-ordered mine, came to post the link and clicked again to check: all gone!

This is great. The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe steelbook case looked great but we didn’t get it here in the uk. Now this I will get

Must have been a pain to make multiple versions of the artwork without certain characters. I mean, they have to add Shantae, Shovel Knight, Waluigi and Dixie yet.

Even if this does come to the USA, as much as I want that box to display, I’ll have to pass. I’ve already preordered the game and GameCube adapter from Amazon, and don’t need the extra packaging.

It’s still a fantastic package! Congrats to those who get it!

Guys DOOM Eternal is coming to Nintendo Switch!

@justin233 Minus the middle two.

@GrailUK a poster isn't good enough we need a banner.

NA?

@Markiemania95 We’ll see

SELL IT IN NA AND TAKE MY MONEY! ILL HELP PAY FOR THE TARRIFFS!

@setezerocinco Still available at mediamarkt

Cheaper than I was expecting, but sadly still too pricey for me lol.

Only reason to go NGC is for local 8 player.

Pro controller and digital for me

NoA pls

@justin233 uh? You do know it’s a digital painting and the characters are just layers... right?

@fafonio Duh - it’d still be a pain to make multiple versions and move them around for whoever had to do it, though.

@jswhitfield8 "$60 is around $66"

Pretty much. I thought most games there were 39.99 so 59.99 looked like a lot and 89.99 looked like a little in comparison for what you get, so I think the stand alone game and the bundle prices taken together confused me. Either one by itself I probably wouldn't have given it much thought.

As I said earlier, in my head that bundle would be $120 US - $60 game, $20 for the adaptor, $40 for the controller - so 89 looked good. But the game alone I know will be $60, so 60 on your end makes that bundle look like a steal while the game alone looks like an exchange rate rip-off.

Google gives me the currency exchange rates no problem, but it couldn't tell me how people feel about the bundle vs game prices.

its better to play smash with a ngc controller. reason?
the rumble function.

best way is with a switch to ps4 usb converter.

I swear if Nintendo doesn’t release this steel book in their largest foreign market, they are fools.

In Germany it is 99,99 € on Amazon and other retailers like MediaMarkt.

@jswhitfield8 "Where it gets confusing"

Well I've obviously been confused from the get go, but thanks for trying to help me out. I do think the UK does have a bit more variety in AAA game prices, it's rare that a disc game in the US isn't $60. I think possibly Captain Toad on Wii U was $40, maybe DKCTF was $50, now $60 on Switch. Crash and Spyro trilogies are $40. My point is it's rare enough when a game isn't $60 that I know about it. And the Nintneod NY store doesn't sell online in the US, so we dont' have that confusion either. Gamestop is the equivalent of GAME getting exclusives - see Xenoblade Chronicles - but the $60 price remains the same.

I'm fully expecting SSBU the game for $60, but if we get that bundle no way it's less than $99.99. If it's only $89.99 they might as well not even bother selling the game alone, people can just buy it digitally for $60. First off course the US has to get it, Reggie usually takes a couple of weeks to get his act together.

Pre-ordered as soon as i got the email to say it was available

Already preordered the adapter so canceled that and grabbed one. Works out alright price wise for me but agree it's not really special, especially as you can get the game & steelbook anyway.

Only thing is I could only choose free delivery so expecting to recieve it 1-2 weeks later than if I bought from another retailer lol

Got the Smash GameCube controller and the adapter for 10$ each at Wal-Mart years ago. Maybe I was lucky... Just the game for me.

@Stocksy it says payment on dispatch on the website.

Honestly cheaper than I was expecting. Sold. I just hope it arrives on launch day otherwise I might just be pathetic enough to buy it digitally as well.

That's mine pre-ordered anyway. Can't wait.

Already have a GC controller and adapter, not interested in steelbooks. Definitely gonna get this digitally. I want this game available immediately to me at all times.

Neat but I’m okay with the basic release.

Hopefully we’ll get eventually get a soundtrack set.

Pre-ordered. But I hope I can do the same at GAME so I can go to the midnight launch

@jswhitfield8 base game is $60.

No way bundle will be

Remember when Smash came out for the 3DS and everyone was breaking their joysticks? Not sure why I was just thinking of that.

@16bitdave : Joy-Con do not seem to be much sturdier either, which isn't helped by people applying unnecessary force to analog sticks.

Already had the adapter and controller ordered so i've cancelled those and ordered this.

Got the just the game on pre order from amazon UK for £41.99, being in guernsey it takes off VAT so Sorry Nintendo store. Also normally get it a day earlier from amazon, and normally gets lost if ordered from Nintendo Store

@setezerocinco Thanks man so much...

Still available for pre order at shopto folks.

Any news on an Australian release yet? One source says that it's confirmed to not come to Australia.

Pre-orders are now sold out on the Nintendo UK Store! Looks like this is gonna be a popular bundle, glad i got mine ordered as soon as it went live
