GameStop Post Possible Super Smash Bros Release Date

US retailer GameStop has updated its database and has listed the forthcoming Super Smash Bros title for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS with a possible release date of April 8th 2014. Nintendo has yet to confirm a release date for the highly anticipated title, but we may see some footage at this year’s VGX Awards in December.

Thanks, Nick R

  1. I hope that’s right, but those are usually placeholder dates. I wouldn’t expect the game until around June personally.

    1. The rumored Mario Kart 8 Release Date is April 12, 2014 so This, in tandem with MK8 would create something huge for the Wii U. I hope they give us at least one month to enjoy Mario Kart 8

  2. I hope it’s true. These AAA games need to be out soon. But not at the cost of quality. I don’t want them to be rushed. Hopefully Nintendo can develop the games to near perfection AND get them out within a reasonable time frame. That would be awesome.

    1. I think the reason why smash was show last e3 was cuz it was ready for a release in the first half of next year but that’s just my opinion.

    2. Didn’t super smash bros meelee take like 8 months to be developed? And nintendo started making ssb4 like a month before e3. And meelee was loved by so many people. What im trying to say here is that maybe they could pull it of in just a couple of months.

  3. Can’t wait I do hope they have a more redesigned gamecube controller with added features to it though. Smash bros needs it.

    1. I disagree, I hope that are released apart, I mean its difficult as is for me noow that SM3DW, ALBW and still playing Pokémon X and Y all at the same time, I have no idea how ill cope with any AAA releasing all at once

      1. I like the double release. Makes it easier for me to pick up 2 games at once instead of making two trips on two different months.

          1. being overwhelmed with so much to do in so little time???? my gosh those two games for you are just so much to do, so overwhelming because obviously you just sit and play nintendo all day while defending everything about them like a bitch.

            also ” fuck this shit, EHHHHH!!!! I’m going to nintendo life. I’m sick of news about all this bad stuff about nintendo!!!!”

            yeah your daily crying about your best pal nintendo and how negative news gets posted. look your back after a half a day. you say that like every other day about you crying how this place sucks but then you come back after a few posts!!!!! you sound like such a sheltered person hahaha, you even need to be sheltered on the internet from negative news!!!!! also your pathetic insults man, just show how pathetic you are.

                      1. HAHAHAHAH look at your insults. your getting mad!!! you need a life man. all this over nintendo!!!! what a loser!!!!

                        1. your insults are so typical drone you go aaawww, and how cute., your such a loser that you would give someone shit for having cancer if they said that mario is getting dull haha how pathetic. like all your comments are saying things like you deserve cancer then or something.. you don’t get of the internet much do you. get a life and then you won’t have to be so attached to nintendo hahaha.

                          1. well have fun with that,

                            “oh its still not your bedtime?”

                            still see your baby insults hahah. have fun damage controlling nintendo for life. yeah hahah what are you doing, your on here, you just confirmed you are a loser with no life hahah.”oh well I was busy having a life but I suppose I can entertain you for a while “seriously like you couldn’t even leave this webpage after saying your leaving for the 10000th time. you just left for like 2 post after you got a fresh bottle made, somebody who insults diseases cancer and more, is people that have no lives. even more pathetic from people that don’t follow everything on earth nintendo does.

                          2. lmfao that Ice dude needs to chill the fuck out, it sounds like he is taking what people say on the net too damn seriously thank or he is trollin

                          3. still with the pathetic tit for tat, so unbecoming of you, not as though there is any dignity left for you, your eczema must have spread up your ass cause otherwise you have no other excuse its sad that you even try win you never do but you try and that’s all a child like you can do

                            1. here you go, here is your internet award you want. its the only thing you will get. hahaha your getting mad man!!!! i don’t even need to insult you. your just a loser and you show it. your going to be just like n dub nation!!!! hhahahaah. no hope. the way you act when somebody says something thats not positive about nintendo is just pathetic. while I’m just seeing how mad you will get. no need to carry on with this. have fun being sheltered.

                            2. Im sorry I don’t believ I have any fucks left to give you are obviously a lost cause who believes he is a big macho man on the internet, pathetic really, ill enjoy coming or leaving this site as I please, enjoy your rashes

                  1. Sure, the overwhelming feeling feels AWESOME! I am finally using my Wii U again and my 3DS. I haven’t played anything on either system since Pikmin and Fire Emblem.

          2. That seems a little too soon, so i dont know, then again, normally when Nintendo shows a game it’s out these days it’s out within a year sooo

            Just seems unlikely for Smash, was expecting June/July or even infamous Smash delay, and pushed back to October or something.

            Besides, i half expect Zelda to be at VGX, especially since Link Between Worlds will most likely win Handheld Game of the Year, it’s a nice segway.

              1. Nooooo, no way. X and Y are great but ALBW literally changes everything about game design is a Zelda game, the amount if freedom you have is amazing, dungeons aren’t tied to being beat in order or even beaten in a linear fashion, first time ive suspended a dungeon half way through to get a specific item to then get more side quest stuff, not tying an item to a dungeon makes puzzles more interesting and the dungeon item is something you don’t NEED but will help you, the game doesn’t hold your hand in anyway, i MISSED items, and another one i didn’t get till the end of the game simple because i didn’t realise what i was supposed to do, which is way better, the music is amazing, it’s just flawless, it’ll win. If it doesn’t, then…it’s a joke that it doesn’t, but i wouldn’t take it too seriously because it’s the VGA’s (“VGX” now, because..why not), half of the nominees are fucking awful, Tomb Raider is up for GOTY…what? And games like Zelda and Killer Instinct don’t even have a nomination in Best Original Soundtrack.

                1. The world is not fair if it was Nintendo would have been dominating in sales and Microsoft would have never entered the gaming business. How can people supper products that’s goes against their rights has consumers and they take it with a smile is beyond me.

                  1. Sorry, all im hearing is “Nintendo, let me suck you off”.

                    Yes, it’s a crying shame that Nintendo doesn’t sell that well….oh wait THEY FUCKING DO! 3DS is making a KILLING!
                    You know what the problem is? Nintendo FUCKED UP the WiiU!
                    Yes, they are finally getting it on it’s feet, but come on…
                    As much as i wish everyone played stuff like Wonderful 101, it’s not going to happen when Nintendo put nothing else on the system, end of story.

                    And maybe people who bought Xbox’s, bought them for..i duno…games?
                    I bought one for Killer Instinct, Forzax D4, Titanfall, and Quantum Break. KI is AMAZING.
                    Yes, MS also fucked up the Xbox..but they did alright putting games im interested in on the system.
                    Sony nailed it with the PS4 though….nothing worth playing, why buy it now?

                    I’ll wait till they have good games.

                    1. But..! But! Ps4 has he most cores and…and… Powers and stuff, yes! So much more powerful, you can browse the store with no games, might overheat a little because of that.

                2. TheDragon24 is right. Look at ALBW’s scores then look at Pokmn X and Y. ALBW has been praised by EVERYONE! X and Y decent scores, but not GOTY scores. ALBW is probably the best 3DS game to have come out since Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus and Shin Megami Tensei IV. Maybe even better than those 3.

              2. X and Y won’t win handheld of the year, because a lot of reviewers only gave it a B+…. it just goes to show the bias of the industry towards anything that has more than 2 sequels. Sequels are viewed as “rehash” even if they are brilliant continuations of a franchise. (sigh) Mario, Smash Bros, Donkey Kong, and Metroid come to mind. For some reason Zelda is immune to this occurrence (thank god, I say)

                Can you believe that I have actually seen people write that they are “unsure” about the next Smash Bros, because it looks “too similar to Melee..” I mean what kind of drugs are they on? The 3 new coming characters ALONE are worth a SSB4 purchase!

                1. Mario and Zelda has a shit ton of sequels…
                  They both have average review score of 9-10’s.

                  Maybe, just maybe, Pokemon isn’t THAT good, and was actually a little disappointing in the fact it had no endgame content at all (probably saved up for Pokemon Z)

                  1. Zelda might have an average review score of 9-10’s, but I am talking about ALL Mario games. From his sports, to racing to party and his 3D platformers. Mario has been criticized by reviewers for being “rehash.” Even some of his platformers got less than a 9. NSMB on DS got an 89. NSMBU got an 84, Mario Parties frequently fall in the 70’s. Mario Tennis Open got a 69!

                    3D World happened to break the curse, but I am sure the next Mario game to come out will sell well through nostalgia and tank in the ratings. It’s easy to pick on Mario, he’s everywhere.

                    1. That’s because the Party, Sports, and “New” series game are rehashed, they’re uninteresting cash ins.

                      When Nintendo TRYS something new, and puts in good ideas, they pay off. The 4 New Super Mario Games are THE SAME, same style, level design, music, everything. Shoving co-op and a suit in there doesn’t make it good, shut the fuck up with your illuminati conspiracy bullshit.

                      Yeah, bad reviewers exist (look at the Wonderful 101 reviews), and obvious examples of click/view priority videos/reviews exist (GTAV), but shut up.

                      1. Most Mario sports games are not rehash, Mario Party games are, NSMB is not though.

                        NSMB was released on 4 different consoles. DS, 3DS, Wii and Wii U. Rehash would be releasing a similar game on a single console, say if we got NSMB and NSMB 2 on the Wii as a stand alone. Just the switch of the consoles provides a great enough change to the games formula. DS and Wii games are different experiences. NSMB 2 on 3DS had everything redesigned to fit the “gold coin” theme and NSMB Wii U refined the whole series and was the best one yet, plus NSMBU had DLC! With Luigi as the main character and it just so happens to be one of the best valued DLC’s ever created.

                        Do they all have the same art style?-Yes, but each one has improved graphics over the other
                        Do they all have the same main characters and story?-Yes, but that has been the same for ever, so if you go by story then Galaxy, Sunshine and 64 would all be rehash too.

                2. I don’t really care if X/Y wins or if ALBW wins, as long as they both get Nintendo that award its all good I love them all, I can get enough of Zelda, ive played Ocarina of Time 3D at least 4 times, and ive put in over 300 hours on Pokémon Y and about 56 on X, anything on the 3DS is solid gold

                3. Keep in mind that there may be a shitload of unlockable characters this time around. Besides, it’s easy for Sakurai to reveal veterans than newcomers since their models are easy to redesign and not having to start from scratch. Just give him some time until next year when the reveals get even better. It took until 6 months before Brawl’s supposed release (before it was delayed) until they started to reveal newcomers on the Dojo.

            1. I hope they show us Zelda and metroid on the vgx. I don’t want them to shows games we have already see on the e3 or a direct also I’m kind of suspecting that Nintendo is going to troll Sony fans showing a crash bandicoot game but that’s my inside hate for those drones.

              1. Oh fuck you, stop being a little bitch, you’re as bad as the “drones” you talk shit about. I want to see a Crash game SO BADLY, Crash 3 is one of my favourite games ever, and it pisses me off that Activation have it locked up, and Sony won’t fucking buy (unless they did, which is rumoured), so stop acting like a twat because you’ll think it’s funny. Plenty of stuff NOT coming to the WiiU that people can rub in your face, that i won’t care about, because i play GAMES, not systems.

                Also, no Metroid won’t be there, because Nintendo won’t make it, an if they are, it’s probably shit because Sakamoto still has a fucking job. He’s as bad as Toriyama fucking up the Final Fantasy series.

                1. Way to be a jackass about a funny though lol. Don’t you want crash finding a good home like megaman did? Also I don’t think activision would sell it back but they sure will want crash in smash and that alone can revive the game for all gamers.

                  1. You know a good home for Crash? How about the original developers?!

                    Megaman doesn’t have a good fucking home, Capcom are SHIT.
                    Being in Smash, isn’t a “good home”, he makes a fucking cameo you retard.

                    Nintendo are not going to buy Crash. You’re as bad as these idiot who want Zelda and Bayonetta 2 on the PS4.

                  2. Yeah… I doubt Crash will be sold to Nintendo. Why would they want it? If Nintendo didn’t buy Atlus, why would they buy Crash?? That makes no sense.

                    I bet Crash Bandicoot will end up in Skylanders or something down the road LMAO!

                    1. Yeah I liked Crash in some of his games but I hated him in others because you always had to be careful what you touch or you will die, I wouldn’t mind Crash if he made a cameo in Smash bros or even any other games but I agree Crash seems to have died from the gaming world

              2. Who cares about Crash Bandicoot? I want Nintendo to get games that Nintendo fans ACTUALLY want! Where is Minecraft Wii U edition? Everyone knows Minecraft sells like a mofo no matter what system it is on. Where is the Pokemon Stadium/Battle Revolution? Kid Icarus Wii U!?- The game doesn’t have to be made by Sakurai.

                1. K first of all, I agree completely, bring us the minecraft and games we actually want.
                  2nd of all, Pokemon battle revolution was crap, and don’t you lie to yourself,

                  And 3rd of all dragon 124 (or whatever) way to lose all credibility as a sensible Nintendo fan with that little flip out back there. And FYI crack bandicoot games SUCK!
                  If Nintendo wasted their time making one, I won’t waste my money on that shit. Duck those games are sooo boring!

                  And if crash bandicoot is in smash….

                  I will go to jail for assaulting someone. It’s too much shitiness to handle and I WONT LIVE in a free society that chooses to RUIN SMASH
                  With crash Fuxking bandicoot. Ill put that bear to sleep myself, not the cute smash bros way, no I will put a pillow in the developers face until he stops breathing.

                  #FUCK CRASH 2014

                  1. You’re right! Battle Revolution did suck, that is why I want a Pokemon Stadium/ Battle Revolution crossover so we get the best parts of both games. I want the minigames and colosseum battles from Battle Revolution (you know, with Gym leaders and Elite Four members from the handheld games), but also the good stuff from Battle Revolution… basically the ability to customize your character and battle online with Pokemon you trained from X and Y.

            1. Haha if it’s half as goood as those games it still deserves to be a contender!
              Smash bros is a level beyond the next level

            1. I don’t remember him saying they are coming out on different dates. Are you sure you weren’t bamboozled by a fake Sakurai on Miiverse ;P

          3. I hope that it doesn’t come out in April, that’s too soon and we won’t have enough characters. Let’s wait until next December so everyone can buy it for Christmas!

            1. By that time, the Wii U would be nearly dead. This is one of the high profile games that the Wii U needs sooner rather than later.

          4. If this is the actual release date, it will release on the birthday of a Youtube celebrity. I bet some of you know who it is.

          5. Nintendo never releases games on Tuesdays, which is what April 8th is. This is very highly unlikely. I bet the game will come out November 2014
