Hard copy will be worth money in 13 yrs. Also the feel of opening the package is just awesome!

This is cool, but I put a pre-order on the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U bundle back in June.

What about the demo for the Wii U version?

Merci nintendo pour la possibilité du pré-achat. une des meilleures idée bien penser. comme çà aucun risque que vos serveurs tombe en panne du au trafic en ligne. Thank you nintendo for the possibility of pre-purchase. one of the best idea think. like that no risk that your server crashes of the online traffic.

Still waiting for Wolf...

No demo like 3DS got WHAT?

9 more days... of TRYING to keep patient...

THANK YOU!

I feel that this is an amazing idea to allow preorder online. There are a few flaws, though. I feel that the server will crash way to fast upon the release of the game. We had a very similar problem last Christmas and I really hope we do not have a repeat of that even close to that magnitude when Smash Bros. Wii U comes out.

I Pre-Ordered the game yesterday!!! Along with the Gamecube Adapter and the Mario amiibo!!!

No more Super Smash Bros. It stinks (don't hit me for that). It should not continue.

GEMATSU IS REAL! #CHORUSMEN

YES!

How do get a wired connection? I'm a bit concerned about lag since it seems there has been quite a bit with the 3DS already?

Please Sakurai. You have 9 days left to add stuff. Please put Shadow the hedgehog. Dont get mad at me.

Screw it. I'm gonna download it.

I'm going to try to add as much smasher on here as I can .. So when I take you guys down I'm going to notify the activity feed !

yay

deliver my bro a package for ssb4. why because I saw a video if you get the package

come on nine days Sakurai release demo already :-(

That's all well and good... so, are we going to get a Demo?

TIME TO SMASH

are people really asking for a demo for the wii u version...

This is pretty cool, they should do this with every game when you pre-order at the èShop

Guys, just CALM DOWN for a few days, it's not like Smash U will come faster if you want a demo *uses time machine* *runs to Walmart* *buys Smash, Hyrule Warriors, Nintendoland and a Wii U*

I'm buying it at Games- err, my mom is buying it at Gamestop. I have school the day it comes out, but it's the last day before Thanksgiving break. :) Now, if I could JUST try to be patient...

Iwan't it know!

It looks like this is Nintendo's solution to "potentially congested server[s]" when Smash 4 Wii U comes out. It makes sense, I think. It worked out fine for me when EA did the same thing with Sims 4. As for me, I've pre-ordered a physical copy. Digital copies are all well and good, but I prefer to own the game cases if I can.

it would be better if you could play it when it is downloaded

How about you give us a real online experience .No Voice Chat during matches really you ruined another great opportunity. No excuse to have the option to turn voice chat on or off. Or how about a brilliant idea????? Party chatttttt. grrrr

Sorry but I prefer physical.

Only 9 Days left please!! Lucas give him another chance please ;(

kk

Awesome :D

Wait. WAT?

@HKR911 Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving the 28th not the 21st

um I am Getting This at Games Stop guys i am Having a SSB4 Wii U Party Is More fun to Have Friends than Playing Yourselves the Only Things Get done i am geetting the second Smash bros. game at dec.5th 2014 as a Gift if u want it i can give to u after Christmas then because i am buying it and HAVE ENOUGH TO GET IT GET MY TWO THINGS I AM Done Baby so Captain toad Getting a Preload for that Game

Nobody is getting the digital copy!

so My Amiibo Wii Fit Trainer is Ready and gamecube Adapter so if U have the 3DS that's ok so dont Bring dacus i have a gameCube Controller

Then we can finally settle in smash!

yay thank you sakurai

what does the fox say nenenenenene nenenenene

Already downloading the pre-download. When it comes out it'll be there waiting for me.

just be patient, just be patient

I'd consider it, if it wasn't for the huge size, which would take up almost all the space on my Wii U.

Mexicans will play this game before Europeans and Japanese.

I actually prefer the physical copy more since I was used to purchasing in store only like the Wii and the DS.

None of you guys/gals wanna see me in Smash Bros... Give it up XD

AWSOME!!!!!!

demo?

Hmm... sounds like a good idea. That should satisfy people a little more.

awesome! smash and the M&L series are my favourite nintendo series!!

Hopefully us Aussies can get the pre-load option as its not available yet. On another note, all those people sulking about lack of storage on the Wii U, it's designed to have ANY USB HDD you like (preferably externally powered). These are cheap and big enough to not have to worry again. I got a 2TB one for it shortly after launch and won't have to worry about space again. Problem solved.

you can't play until release but it IS a good way to prevent e-shop congestion during the holidays I give this idea two big E-thumbs up.

Is there going to be a demo?

change my mind getting it at in the Wii U eShop so i don't have to worry to get it in Stores but my other stuff just pre ordered already so all i need the game on Digital and retail to playable on my both stuff but it makes my life easy so get Accessory first pre-Orderd the amiibo and the Adapter then get the game in the eShop

PLEASE!! MAKE A DEMO!! SAKURAI PLEASE!

yes Midnight pre order won't be Long yes i am Trade in most including my money for my prepared for my big-time stuff so please don't distract me on captain toad guys this is only for my wii u time my disney infinity free DLC version works with the portal my friend gave me one went out just fine did Lag a little but is ok yes i made the Wii U smash bros Folder id hope u all have fun

Ahhhhh!!!

Me. *chants* DEMO,DEMO

Lest?

This feature is available in Europe too :) (Downloading SSBU as we speak :D)... also everyone knows the fox says "LANDMASTER" (#Krystal4DLC)

As cool as this is for Wii U games its better to get the disc one so say your friend has a Wii u but not the game you have they can borrow and stuff

Whati, I don't really understand this post. Is this some kind of something that allows you to load the digital version of Smash faster without a potentially congested server. I won't know because I will get the hard copy.

If there is going to be a demo please let one of the vontrols be 3DS. I wanna see how it works.

am i able to download in canada?

DEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what I want to say: Canadian Bacon! what I will say: sceptile for dlc!

I don't have enough space on my Wii U anyways. lel

Can You Make Banjo Kazooie As A DLC Character?

Uh… Mr. Sakurai… is your shoulder okay? Just wondering.

DEMO THIS FRIDAY!!!

Demo... Yay...

@Zachary: What makes you think he can?! Nintendo doesn't have the rights to Banjo Kazooie anymore!

Sakurai just made my day :)

thank you

Omg!

I wish I had a WiiU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sakurai everyone wants a demo. can u please give us one by next monday. :(please we fans are dieing

I already preordered the game bundle that comes with the GameCube controller and adapter so there's no in doing that. Besides, I prefer the physical version of the game over the digital one.

ughhhhhh....... it hurts....... l'm not buying the digital version because l need the gcn controller adapter!!! why can't every console just use the gcn controller? it's perfect!

Well that's nice, I have it now.

what does gcn stand for

Lucas for SSB4 pleaaassseee ;( ,............

I'm gonna wait until Christmas to get it.

daisy and ice climbers for DLC!!!!!

Sakurai, i think all the games you make are great since 1990s to 2014! even before and after those time's
