For those who simply can’t wait for Wii U’s upcoming Super Smash Bros. title, there’s hope: Nintendo is making the popular fighting game available for pre-load.
Acutely aware of just how painful the Super Smash Bros. withdrawals have been for its fans, Nintendo is now letting players pre-order the game on Nintendo.com. From there, Nintendo will send a download code within 72 hours of the game’s official November 21st launch. Fans then take the code and redeem it on their console, which downloads a non-playable version of the game. When the games is officially released, players simply have to run a small update for a fully loaded game that’s ready to brawl. Pre-loads are also available through the Nintendo eShop, which is available through Wii consoles, or select gaming retailers.
