Next Super Smash Bros. not planned for spring after all
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
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.

Sayonara Umihara Kawase rated by OFLC
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Sayonara Umihara Kawase appears to be heading to Australia, and probably other PAL territories as well. A rating for the title popped up in the OFLC database today. Agatsuma Entertainment, developer of the game, is listed as publisher.
Back in October, Natsume announced plans to release Sayonara Umihara Kawase in North America as “Yumi’s Odd Odyssey”. But this new OFLC filing indicates that the game will launch with its original name in PAL territories, and Agatsuma will handle publishing responsibilities by itself.
