Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS not launching this spring
Game director Masahiro Sakurai confirms recent rumors about game's release date are false.
The new Super Smash Bros. game for Wii U and 3DS will not be released in spring 2014, director Masahiro Sakurai has confirmed on Twitter.
In a pair of tweets (translated by Siliconera), Sakurai said the recent rumor is false and the official release date for the new Super Smash Bros. game is sometime in 2014, as Nintendo has said previously.
Last week, a Nintendo Germany representative said both Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. would launch for Wii U in spring 2014. Nintendo has since labeled this comment a "misquotation."
Nintendo has yet to reveal any footage from Super Smash Bros. on the Wii U outside of a video demonstration from E3 2013. Nintendo is developing the game in partnership with Namco Bandai's SoulCalibur studio.
As of September 30, the Wii U has officially sold 3.91 million units. The company plans to sell 9 million consoles worldwide by the end of March 2014.
