Could just be a placeholder, but man I really hope this is true. Nintendo would be insane to not release this game before Black Friday.

That does sound likely, although I really can't see Nintendo pulling two major launches (this, and then Pokemon) two straight weeks in a row.

Regardless, I really hope this is true.

I hope this gets confirmed. SSB will be my first Wii U purchase this year. I got a bunch of Wii U games last year, but this year has been rough on all the machines including the Wii U for me.

For nintendo's sake I hope this is true. Not getting it out by black friday would put a huge dent into the wii u's holiday sales

dang it, that's right around the time Persona Q releases

hopefully it's a rumor, though it'd be good if they can release it during the holiday shopping window if they want to get the most out of Wii U sales

then again I thought they said they delayed it because they had to work out the glitches first, hope they don't rush the release either

If they screw this up I will cry :( Because then we'll have to wait an entire generation for the next game.

It appears that they have not screwed this up, but instead, given us the best Smash Bros. game ever with this new one.

Odd placeholder if fake. I'm leaning more toward legit (probably because I want to more than I should).

I really hope it's true. Although they've been saying, "Holiday 2014," I thought it would end up releasing closer to January and February.

Would totally be happy with this release date.

Unless officially confirmed by Nintendo, I still see it as a placeholder. November 21st is not within "Holiday 2014," but before it.

Beware the hype train.

@Zassimick Why would they release it AFTER Christmas?

If this is true... Nintendo marketing (or whoever's in charge of release dates), you idiots. GTA V rereleases a few days before that. Not even Pokemon could stand a chance against the original versions.

What do you mean not even Pokemon could stand against it? They were never competing, and Pokemon managed to sell 12 million copies in a year.

And Smash and GTA also have non overlapping audiences. Remember Brawl and GTA4? They also released around the same time.

are you sure? I've heard the opposite from melee fans, apperently more dumbed down than brawl was? *shudder*

@nintendoboy16 you have a weird way of looking at things don't you?

Nope, this is basically Melee reborn. It's mechanically exquisite.

That's... Not true. But it's definitely not Brawl 2.0. Game speed feels halfway between Melee and Brawl and you can combo.

Would you agree with what the devs said about the pacing of the combat? They said that they struck a balance between the speed of Melee and Brawl so that it's about halfway.

If we are talking strictly speed, then it feels more like a sped up Brawl than anything, tbh. I highly doubt we will ever get a game as fast as Melee ever again.

As in Pokemon got outsold by GTA V since launch and that GTA V is currently one of the most hypest things in gaming right now. Add Wii U's miserable state in the mix and it's even worse (despite it being one of the most anticipated titles on the system).

As in Pokemon sold to its audience, regardless of GTA being there, and it would have sold that much no matter what. If you really think there was some sort of sales competition between those two games... I honestly wouldn't know what to say to you.

Stopped reading right there. Seriously? And you do realize that the GTA V rerelease is catering to the same audience as the original right? An audience that already has had access to the game for a year.
