Later today, Nintendo will be hosting a Direct for Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS. We can count on plenty of details to be unveiled such as new characters in all likelihood.

Some had also hoped that today would be the day that a release date would be announced. It’s time to readjust expectations though, as it’s been confirmed that no such information will be shared.

The Japanese Smash Bros. Twitter account noted several hours ago that “a concrete release date” won’t be confirmed. On the bright side though “we will be revealing a rough release window.”

The message states:

“[Notice] We are currently not at a stage where we can announce a concrete release date; however, in tomorrow’s broadcast, we will be revealing a rough release window.”
