'Super Smash Bros' 3DS release date; Game bundles offered by retailers

 Nintendo

While there have been no announcements for the official release date of "Super Smash Bros." for Wii U, speculations have pointed out that it may be unveiled on Nov. 21.

Such rumor has been drawn out from the photo that was shared on Twitter by a user who was able to obtain a card from Fred Meyer, an American retail chain, saying that the Wii U version is to be made available this November.

However, Nintendo has yet to comment on the suggested release date of the "Super Smash Bros" for Wii U. The 3DS version has already been launched in Japan, and it sold more than one million units within the first week of sale, both physical and digital versions, performing as well as the "Monster Hunter 4" and "Pokemon X & Y."

Nintendo will be launching the "Super Smash Bros." 3DS in North America on Oct. 3 for a retail price of $39.99.

Members of Japanese online communities have begun leaking the game's characters, including Ness, Falco, Dark Pit, Duck Hunt Dog, Bowser Jr., Dr. Mario, Ganondorf, Mr. Game & Watch, Wario, and Jigglypuff, among others.

Retailers have reportedly been coming up with exclusive Super Smash Bros. 4 and Amiibo bundles. Walmart has already begun accepting pre-orders, offering a "Super Smash Bros.4" Wii U Amiibo Starter Bundle for $99.99. The package is comprised of a copy of Super Smash Bros. Wii U along with three Amiibo action figures to use with the game.

Such bundle from Walmart will feature the Amiibo figurines of Link, Mario, and Pikachu, which can all be used with Super Smash Bros. 4 for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

The product description states: "Up to four players can battle each other locally or online across beautifully designed stages inspired by classic Nintendo home console games. With a variety of control options and amiibo compatibility, the timeless Super Smash Bros. battles come alive."
