Smash U + Pokémon Oméga + Mario Kart 8 DLC. November is gonna be quite a busy month on the Nintendo front.

I wish all amiibos stuck on their base without any weird plastic stick piece. I feel like those would break too easily.

The reason Nintendo is not coming out clean with 21 Nov is to keep us guessing and speculating, forgetting to focus on how little stuff they have released this year. And when they inevitably announce it, it will feel like a victory and a big relief, that Nintendo against all odds could make it - again directing attention away from the sparse rest of the lineup.

Incredibly well played.

Anything that isn't next year is a win in my book.
It was never in doubt, it's just that the people that ever dared to bring that up are the perfect example of speculation out of their ass

Oh conspiracy theories, that's a new twist, I like it

They more likely don't want to immediately steal thunder away from the 3DS version of Smash or Bayonetta 2 which comes out later this month and needs all the attention it can
but won't
get.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.

That be my wager.

It's far too confusing to the broad shopper to have two different release dates out in the market. focus key messaging on 3ds sku and date since its first, then flip to wii u messagubf

About the price, isn't it Nintendo's prerogative to be Apple-like in this situation by selling an inferior, lesser-supported product (I can't see the amiibo thing lasting more than like, the initial set of games before Nintendo shelves it forever -- they've NEVER supported peripherals, remember all the OTHER ONES you have already? It's doubtful they'd start now...) but with name power behind it so it can be sold as the alleged premium product. Par for the course?

Your bias is showing. :)
