If you have pre-ordered the digital copy of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo Wii U from the Nintendo eShop, you can begin pre-loading the game in anticipation for its release on November 21st.
By pre-loading, you are ensuring that you will be able to play the game at the strike of midnight on November 21st. Those who can’t or don’t want to buy the game from the Nintendo eShop, there are a few ways to buy the game in order to pre-load.
“If you pre-order on Nintendo.com, we’ll send your download code within 72 hours of the game’s launch. You can then redeem online or manually to pre-load the game. That means you’ll be able to play after a small game update when it’s officially released.
You may also pre-purchase directly from Nintendo eShop on your Wii U console and pre-load the game from there, OR purchase a download code from select retailers and pre-load to your Wii U console.” Nintendo explains.
Not interested in the digital copy? You can still pre-order the game at your participating retail store for the physical copy of the game.
