I ordered it at Best Buy and I am hoping they will deliver it the day of release.
I have work until 6pm, so I think I'll be fine.

Took Friday off to play this!
I'm going to the midnight release at Gamestop (the first one I'll have gone to since the 3DS console launch!)
I'll be buying:
Smash for Wii U
Gamecube Controller Adapter
1 Smash Gamecube Controller
A Samus Amiibo.
Will be driving home and playing it all night long. Will probably just play with the GF over Friday and Saturday, since I'm house-sitting for my folks. However once I get back to my apartment on Sunday I'll probably get 4 friends together and destroy them.

Sadly sip tea while I'm at work because I live in England without an American Wii U.
Your very own place and hosting a Smash party is like a dream come true. Congratz!

I'll get a few matches in before I make breakfast Friday morning, then off to work for the day. I'll play some more in the evening with my wife. But, my wife is leaving town Saturday morning early to visit some friends so I'll probably veg out quite a bit on Saturday with some Smash goodness.

I took the day off work, just because I can. So my plans run something like this:
Wake up at midnight so I can start the download (I will need an alarm because I am old and can't stay up until midnight to save my life). Depending on how long that takes, maybe play a little before going back to bed or not.
Wake up in the morning and unlock stuff until 10:00AM or so, when all the local shops will be open. Head out to scrounge around for a controller adapter and a couple amiibo (one for me -- still haven't decided which -- and a Peach for my wife).
Come home and play until wife gets home from work, then go out to see Mockingjay.
Saturday and Sunday will likely be more Smash interleaved with fixing up the old old house I just moved into.

I'm going to try to stay awake long enough to pick it up at midnight, but I'll probably be asleep by 10. Friday at work is gonna be a nailbiter. The cubicle walls will likely be shrinking all around me as the utter desire to Smash grows and grows within the core of my being. The drive to gamestop and then home against rush hour traffic will serve as the last line of defense between My Body and Being Ready. I'm probably going to do a lot of single player/trying to teach the girlfriend how to Smash before even trying online.

I have Friday off, so I'll pick up my game in the morning and play it all day.
Well shit I will do that then. I just thought you could pay for it early but still have to download it later.

Gotta wait a week :[
Next friday though, gonna pick up the NGC Smash controller that also releases that day (I think?) from Gamemania, go to class, go home to find Smash WiiU + adapter delivered to my house (hopefully), go play a bit and spend the evening eating sushi with brother, sister, cousins and nieces because we planned that way before the releasedate switcheroo.
My cousin's more Smash crazy than me though, so with a little planning we might be able to get an 5/8-player Smash fest going later that night at my cousin's place

They wanted parity.
My main issue is they are advertising Amiibos so much and it seems they can only be used in Smash mode which limits how much you can use them.
I was kind of excited to have a CPU co-op partner. There are other issues though like
the stage builder is limited, new classic looks worse, and other things that made me less excited.
I will still play it and enjoy it, but the game really felt like it got hit by the split development.

Will get it but will be playing Pokemon much more.
As far as I know, you *can* have a cpu buddy!! I think they're just focusing on the smash mode uses

Play GTA or Halo and wait for the UK release.

I took a vacation day on Friday, but have to do on call activities on Saturday. i did the same thing for the 3DS version, no way I'm missing out on Nintendo Day.
Should i buy this game if i have nobody to play local multiplayer with?
I was gonna make a thread about it... but im not very good with making new threads
The thing is: i have no gamer friends, my wife play something here and there, but never cared for smash
And i hear (needs confirmation) that this time all the game modes are too multiplayer focused
I HATE the fact that the "ending" for each character is always a lousy movie showing the said character in battle. Is as bad as the Mario Kart 8 "endings"
One thing i like is the trophies. But i dont know if they alone are enough for a decent single player reward.

Cheap in Australia:
Next friday*
I'll have class until 12:00, so after that I'll go home and play with my brother who probably has picked it up. Then at anywhere from 14-16:00 I'll get a text telling me I have a package to pick up, so I'll jump in the car, break the speedlimit, and be home half an hour later with 4 new GC controllers. Then it's Smashtime the whole weekend.

Yes. Smash always has a very content-rich single player mode, and Smash 4 looks to be the best in that regard. There is still online multiplayer. Who needs real friends when you have VIRTUAL friends?

Pick up Smash Bros at Best Buy, get home and play with the kids. When they've had enough and the controllers are put down, I'll shut the U off and play GTA V.

It's more just that every mode that was single-player only before can now be played in 2PM Co-op. They're all playable in single player as well though.
I think you'd be able to have a good time with it playing online with us gaffers!
