Ever since Bayonetta 2’s announcement, fans have been very vocal about the game’s Wii U exclusivity. Fans have continued to ask Platinum about bringing the game to other platforms despite the fact that Nintendo is responsible for publishing.

After hearing request after request, Platinum Games creative producer JP Kellams has said on Twitter that he’s tired of the port begging.

Update: Nintendo has provided the following statement:

“There seems to be some buzz online today about the launch date of Super Smash Bros. We would like to clarify that the speculation about a Spring 2014 launch date for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U was the result of a misquotation in an interview. The original article has since been rectified and we have no further announcements to make at this time.”

Original: So much for that supposed spring release for the next Super Smash Bros. German outlet Nintendo-Online has received confirmation from Nintendo that the game doesn’t have a set timeframe for launch.

Yesterday, talk of Smash’s release date surfaced after Bernd Fakesch, general manager of Nintendo of Germany, said it would be out in addition to Mario Kart 8 in the spring. Mario Kart 8 is still on track for spring 2014 – as it always has been – but that’s not the case for Smash Bros.
