Super Smash Bros. Direct Won’t Reveal A Release Date, But A Release Window [Update]

Update: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS will come out first and is scheduled for release this summer. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is scheduled for a winter 2014 release.

There’s been a lot of talk about the Super Smash Bros. series with recent rumors and a special Nintendo Direct presentation which will be airing tomorrow at 6 pm ET/3 pm PT. The official Japanese Super Smash Bros. Twitter account says that they won’t reveal a release date for the 3DS/Wii U Super Smash Bros., yet.

[おしらせ]まだ具体的な発売日を発表できる段階ではありませんが、明日の放送では、おおまかな発売時期も合わせてお知らせします。#NintendoDirectJP

The tweet reads:

“[Notice] We are currently not at a stage where we can announce a concrete release date; however, in tomorrow’s broadcast, we will be revealing a rough release window.”

Fans of the series may have been expecting a release date reveal as one of the big announcements in tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct, but now that won’t happen. What surprises do you think Nintendo will announce in just a few hours?
