Wii U Video Game Sales & Release Update: Anticipated Video Games Coming Soon?
Wii U gamers have waited for and waited and still there is no official release date for "Super Smash Bros." for Wii U. That could all change thanks to an accidental leak of some promotional cards.
A mega-mart in the Pacific Northwest called Fred Meyer started handing out cards that list the release date for "Super Smash Bros." for Wii U as Nov. 21. The cards seem to serve as a way to pre-order the game for as little as $1 down.
This may be an accidental printing by Fred Meyer but the fact that they are taking customers' money and telling customers that they will receive the game on Nov. 21 sure makes it sounds believable.
The image displaying the leak was first shown on Twitter by BluesDriveBuster on Sept. 12. We will keep you updated on the official release date for "Smash Bros."

Nintendo-Published Games: Can They Save the Wii U?
The Wii U has sold only 6.68 million units throughout the world. Nintendo hoped to do that in one year (the Wii U has been out for two).
Analysts say that "software sells hardware," or simply the games get the people to buy the systems. If there are good games for a system people are going to buy that system.
So, Nintendo still has eight more Nintendo-published games coming out before 2014 ends. These are the games that put Nintendo on the map way back in the 80s. Games with Mario, Link from Zelda, Yoshi from Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and more. Can these games save the Wii U and get the system to compete with rivals Microsoft Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4?
What do you think? Will Super Smash Bros. and other Nintendo-published games save the Wii U?
