Dcubed Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Nice to see that the game origin/release date info is in the Wii U game's trophies Always bothered me that they were missing in the 3DS trophies section (guess it really was for lack of screen resolution after all :p )
Cube Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 The banner at the top of the page is lovely, @RedShell.
RedShell Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Got the email from ShopTo. No mention of the GCN controller I ordered though, just the game/adapter bundle. Did anyone else who ordered the controller from ShopTo get a confirmation email for it yet?

Cube Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I have no time off and I somehow offered to babysit kids, so I won't have access to the game over the weekend.

Take your Wii U with you while you babysit. Let's the kiddies play Smash with you! You tell them to go to bed. They say no. Settle it in Smash.

Although I just ordered the game.I was going to do the same, but after spending so much time playing the 3DS version (and having to be careful not to destroy my 3DS in the process ) I decided to get the adapter and a new GCN pad so I could just go nuts on it. What controller are you gonna be using for Smash then? Hero-of-Time said: Anyone else using a couple of holidays from work for this? I know Kav did but Nintendo screwed him over. @S\.C\.G?Yep.

I need to go pick up my Amiibo and Pokemon anyway and figured I would just get it with the credit I have. If the game arrives early *crosses fingers* then I'll just use the CCP until then. Just realised, Nintendo are gonna be getting close to £300 off me this weekend!

I've just had the best part of two weeks off so I managed to at least clear some of my backlog in preparation so while I won't have any time off for Smash I do at least feel a little more battle ready for it. Also all going well I should have the game on Thursday so I'll be playing it straight after work.

Shops in the US got little in terms of stock of the adaptor.

Actually, don't. I just thought about how much I've spent on gaming over the years, it was scary. Cube said: Have you pre-ordered the adaptor?

Seems weird though, you'd think they'd have made loads of 'em.

Glen-i Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Lovingly nicked from a GAF thread. Random passer-by's are asked to name all the Smash Bros characters. Giggles ensue. Reveal hidden contents Couldn't help but cringe with almost everyone calling Link "Zelda". I'm such a nerd. Ness totally looks like a "Timmy" though.
Wii Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) I'm going to hit the bricks and mortar on Friday. I want this day 1 so couldn't trust any site to get it here on time. I should really pre order just to be safe, kept hoping to find it cheaper elsewhere but the best I can find it for is a €50 note. And the adapter is way overpriced for all it does at the minute. €70 is the best deal for that that I can find. Edited November 25, 2014 by Wii

If mine isn't here by next week when I want it(went through Flubit) I'll just do the bastard thing of buying from the high street then returning the other when it arrives. Used to use that classic as a kid when deliveries from online were much slower.
bob Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I'll probs be getting this on the 25th Dec. And not a moment before! Can't decide whether to get the adapter or try and learn to play with something other than a GC controller...

It depends on what stock they have and if they look decent. I don't want any with shoddy paint jobs or deformities. I'm gonna be that guy who is picking them all off the shelf and looking at them carefully, one by one.

Poor ROB and Rosalina being mistaken for Disney/Pixar characters. You can see which characters people grew up with or have mainstream appeal. The Fire Emblem crew didn't stand a chance.

Quote Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is now the fastest-selling Wii U title ever in the U.S. market (dethroning Mario Kart 8), with more than 490,000 physical and digital units combined sold during the three-day period of Nov. 21 through Nov. 23.SUPER SMASH BROS. FOR WII U IS THE FASTEST-SELLING WII U GAME EVER IN THE U.S. If you were going to diagram an equation for a record-breaking software launch, it would probably look something like this: Popular Franchise (more than 14 million Super Smash Bros. games sold in the U.S. alone) + Demand (it has been six years since the last Super Smash Bros. console game, plus the new game benefits from heightened awareness for the franchise coming on the heels of the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS game) + Critical Acclaim (current Metacritic score of 93, making it the highest-rated original game of this generation, tied with last year’s Super Mario 3D World game) + Strong Reaction from Fans (current user score of 9.2 on Metacritic, becoming the eighth Wii U game to have a Metacritic score of 85 or higher AND a user score of 8.5 or higher) = Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is now the fastest-selling Wii U title ever in the U.S. market (dethroning Mario Kart 8), with more than 490,000 physical and digital units combined sold during the three-day period of Nov. 21 through Nov. 23. “The Nintendo holiday is off to a great start, but there’s a lot of work left to do and a few more surprises in store for our fans,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With great deals coming on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and great content like Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker launching next week, Nintendo will offer shoppers the best combination of fun and value this holiday season.”
Wii Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Just read that on mynintendonews. That's a brilliant start. Half a million already. I think it'll break the million mark easily in the States.
