They can't miss the shopping season with a big game like this in the US.

I knew it was going to come out right before black friday. Week before is the perfect time. Plus comes out same day as pokemon ruby and sapphire remake. Also same week as a ton of other games. Seems to be week to get the top games in before holiday rush.

I'm glad those 2015 rumours can be put to rest.

Assuming that the bundle is coming out closer to Christmas, I'm just gonna hold off and get that since Pokemon ORAS comes out on the same day (gonna be one of NoA's biggest sales weeks in YEARS). Between both games and the guide, that's a throw-down of $100 before taxes.

EDIT: Which, the bundle is not being released later as said originally (Amazon now lists it for release on 11/21). Gonna need to admit my wallet to the hospital after that day...

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS launched in Japan on September 13, and North America and Europe on October 3. The 3DS game sold 2.8 million copies as of Tuesday, making it the best-selling game on the system.

You're referring only to the current year sales, right? Definitely want to put that in since as it reads right now you're saying that a game which released rather recently on a platform with a 40+ million userbase is now the best-selling game on the platform.

Which of course it's not: Pokemon X/Y or Mario Kart 7 is.

So the home console version gets released in America first in time for the holidays.

So, people are going to pay 20 bucks more for the same exact game but on a TV console instead of a handheld? Even with better graphics, I would want more for that extra 20.

Sorry guys, I have 400 in cash on me. I will have all twelve. Samus, Peach and Link are the only ones getting used though. The rest can watch.

People are paying $20 because with a Wii U your friends can play the game with you locally without having to buy their own copies and handhelds. Also prettier. Also justifying the Wii U purchase to some.
