Super Smash Bros for Wii U will be releasing in North America very soon, and surely everyone can’t wait to get their hands on it and start playing.
Fortunately, Nintendo announced via email that we can all start pre-downloading our digital copy of Smash Bros Wii U now!
From The Big N:
“Starting now, Wii U owners can pre-purchase Super Smash Bros. for Wii U directly from the Nintendo eShop or by purchasing a download code for the game from participating retailers. At the time of pre-purchase, much of the game’s data will be pre-loaded to the purchaser’s Wii U system if it is in Standby mode. As soon as the game releases in the Nintendo eShop at midnight Eastern time on Nov. 21, the final data needed to unlock the full game will automatically download. ”
You’ll need about 15GB of space for the entire game, but the pre-download will load 12GB of it until the actual launch date of November 21st in North America (at midnight, Eastern time).
Thanks for reading, and settle it in Smash!
