Update: Date not confirmed – see this story.

Nintendo dated a bunch of games last month, including Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. However, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games was missing a date of its own.

Nintendo has since sent out a Wii U notification with an apparent release date. According to the message, the new Mario & Sonic title is due out on November 8. It’ll be available at retail and digitally on the same day.

5th Cell has explained the decision to mix together the Scribblenauts and DC Comics franchises.

In a soon to be published interview, senior producer Caleb Arseneaux said that the pairing came about as the team was deciding how to advance the series “in a new way that would appeal to a new audience and our longtime Scribblenauts fans.”

Arseneaux told us:

“It really came down to how we could advance the game in a new way that would appeal to a new audience and our longtime Scribblenauts fans. The DC Comics Universe is so rich and full of unique and awesome characters we felt that the technology that brought the other Scribblenauts titles to life could be used to give DC Comics fans a great new way to interact with characters they love. This also provides an opportunity for our Scribblenauts fans to experience playing with real super hero characters that have powers, backstories and behaviors that they’ve never seen before.”

Look out for our full interview with Arseneaux – it’ll be going live soon.
