Update 2: (12/13/13): Pre-orders now open at Best Buy.

Update (12/2/13): Bravely Default pre-orders have just opened on Amazon. You can pre-order the collector’s edition here ($5 less than GameStop) and the standard edition here.

Original: Pre-orders are open for the Bravely Default Collector’s Edition… well, at GameStop at least. You can place an order here. The standard version can also be found here.

In Nintendo’s original announcement, the company said that the Bravely Default Collector’s Edition would be available “at select retailers.” Hopefully this means other retailers will open pre-orders in the near future. If other options appear, we’ll update this post.

Lobodestroyo is coming to Wii U, but Nintendo’s console won’t be a launch platform for the title.

Lefthanded Games explained in a Kickstarter backer-only update that the Wii U version will arrive after the Ouya exclusivity window expires. This is due to a stipulation in the “Ouya Free the Games Fund”.

For every $10,000 in funds Ouya matches, the platform gains one month of exclusivity. Lobodestroyo has collected roughly $40,000, meaning four months of exclusivity is required.

Despite the wait, Lefthanded Games believes the wait will be worth it. The extra time will be used to properly port Lobodestroyo to Wii U “and take advantage of the new hardware.”

Lefthanded Games’ Kickstarter update in full reads:

Masahiro Sakurai is only 43 years old, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be around forever. One of these days, the Super Smash Bros. creator will need to step away from game development.

Sakurai tackled the topic of how long a developer can continue creating games in his regular column this week. First, he revealed an interesting tidbit: he’s one of the oldest members of the team for the new Smash Bros. games.

“As I look around the new Smash Bros. development office, hardly anyone here is older than I am.”

Super World Karts GP is a possibility for the Wii U. Nintendo’s console has been added in as a stretch goal on Kickstarter and if funds exceed $25,000 AUD, creator Paul Hamilton will bring the game to the eShop.

Hamilton will first need to raise enough money for Super World Karts GP itself. Only ten days remain in the Kickstarter campaign, which requires a little more than $10,000 AUD for successful funding. Hamilton will need to collect $16,000 AUD by December 23.

You can check out the Kickstarter page here.
