Super Smash Bros. will be launching on Wii U (and 3DS) next year. That presents the perfect opportunity for the game to make its first appearances at various events and tournaments in 2014.

MLG is one such venue where Super Smash Bros. for Wii U could be appearing. Major League Gaming CEO Sundance DiGiovanni has said on Twitter that Nintendo has interest, as does he.

The message reads:

Understandably, Ubisoft’s stock took a hit this week after they announced the delay of two of their biggest titles this holiday season: Watch_Dogs and The Crew. Both games were pushed into 2014, and shortly thereafter the company’s shares fell by the biggest margin they’ve seen since they debuted on the stock exchange all the way back in 1996. On top of that, we recently reported that the company said Rayman Legends and Splinter Cell: Blacklist sold below expectations, which probably contributed to their troubles.

Watch_Dogs was delayed until early 2014 earlier this week.

Watch_Dogs is no longer hitting store shelves next month, but the wait should be worth it for Ubisoft. The publisher is predicting sales of 6.2 million units for the new title. Strong pre-orders have contributed to Ubisoft’s lofty target.

Sonic has returned to Nintendo consoles after Sonic Generations skipped the Wii. Even better for the Big N, Sonic Lost World’s main game is only available on Wii U.

So what does the future hold for Sonic on Nintendo’s home systems? SEGA’s Takashi Iizuka won’t make any commitments, but told Nintendo Life, “we are willing to have these fans to enjoy our titles in the future too.”

“Wii wasn’t a HD console so we weren’t able to release Sonic Generations. But even though, we knew that there are many platform action game fans in Nintendo console, so we are willing to have these fans to enjoy our titles in the future too.”

As far as the 3DS is concerned, it sounds like Iizuka has interest in extending SEGA’s Sonic support going forward, though he won’t “confirm the future.”

“We can’t confirm the future, but personally, I feel 3DS is a best console for kids to enjoy a game, and to those consumers, we hope to deliver Sonic titles in the future too.”

If you plan on downloading Wii Party U, you’ll need to reserve roughly 5.414GB (5514MB) of space. That’s how big the European version is, and the North American release should be very similar in size. Wii Party U will also be offered at retail.
