Gaming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - Discussion Thread

[WiiCube_2013]

Europe and Australia's Super Smash has been moved to November 28th in Europe and 29th in Australia !

EDIT: Bimmel beat me to this by 1 minute

OMG this is awesome news! I was pretty bummed to wait until December 5 for it.

Did anybody else's Gamecube Controller Adapter for Wii U get postponed from Amazon to Dec 2015? Just want to see if anybody has any insight into this.

People should have it by November 21-28 (US/EU dates) so by then there'll be updates about it.

Officially it only plays Super Smash Bros. but it's a waste if that's the only thing it really does (Nintendo might be announcing it'll be compatible with Wii & Wii U on their upcoming Nintendo Direct).

I still wouldn't believe that Nintendo of Europe speaks for the entirety of Nintendo HQ about that tidbit, that it only works in SSB4.

Oh just look at this from Nintendo's UK Facebook:

Wow! This is awesome!

What about it? There's still no 100% confirmation from Nintendo HQ about it being "Smash only" as being definitive. NOE doesn't speak for the entire company.

It's just that nostalgia feeling of the GameCube being revived in 2014 and while the NGC isn't one of my favourite it's definitely got some of my favourite games on it (Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Luigi's Mansion, F-Zero GX, Eternal Darkness).

Nintendo's really got a huge stack of gems which they could make thousands if not millions but for some reason they aren't.. Like what kind of company doesn't want to make money?!

So on the 8-Player Mode you can use two GameCube adapters while avoiding to purchase more Wiimotes, Pro Controllers or such provided you have already a bunch of NGC controllers and willing to buy a few more (or your friends have their own ones).

At a recent Smash demo, a Nintendo rep informed us that you can plug two GameCube Adapters into a Wii U so all eight people can use those controllers.

IGN just uploaded an unboxing video of the NGC Adapter + Controller.



Nintendo better make this fucking add-on compatible with more Wii U games.

I wonder if we'll be able to record and share our fights in smash similarly to Mario Kart 8. I would love this feature!

 

[WiiCube_2013]

I've decided to go with the game only and forget about the GameCube adapter. I'll probably receive it around November 23-25 because this retailer sends the games early to their customers.

Besides, if I ever want to play GameCube games I can always boot up my Original Wii, use a Dolphin or buy a 2nd Wii U for Nintendont and play it upscaled 720/1080.

Finally getting around to thinking about Smash U. Found out that my WalMart won't carry the bundle. It appears there isn't a Gamestop within 100 miles that I can preorder. Any other place I can try?

 

[Drak0rex]

Please? ._.

Oh, I'm sorry. Thought it would be different for .com - cause it's the same in .de .. could it really be that its sold out?

you have to re-check every now and then, when they get more bundles, they open up for more pre-orders

Best Buy offers them. Pre-ordered mine on Thursday for in-store pickup, so if you live around any give em a try.

EDIT: Express shipping is free as well. Just a heads up.

 

[Adeka]

I preordered my bundle from Best Buy as well

 

[Drak0rex]

Amazon lists it for 60, but Best Buy is 100. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=smash+bros+wii+u+bundle
