Shocking news, it's November.

Saw this on Sega's blog...

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo’s Wii U, and Windows PC Digital Download this November.

[VOOK]

I don't think you can draw any kind of conclusion from that but it's going to be November,

GameCube: November 18, 2001
Wii: November 19, 2006

Done.

 

[Pociask]

Sega does what Nintendont.

 

[Provider]

That would only confirm that it'll be out on, at the latest, november.

I do think it'll be november tho.

 

[Kokonoe]

I don't think you can draw any kind of conclusion from that but it's going to be November,

GameCube: November 18, 2001
Wii: November 19, 2006

Done.

Pretty much.

 

[Wario64]

Someone accidentally typed "U" after Wii

 

[fernoca]

Though, sounds similar to back when Assassin's Creed III was announced for fall/then October and some assumed that Wii U was going to be released by that time too.

 

[bill.cosby]

I guess I just kind of assumed this was the case, seems to be a pretty popular time to release a home console. Honestly didn't realize Nintendo hadn't officially announced a release date.

 

[Currygan]

yeah, it only needs Nintendo to confirm November. All hints seem to point to that month

 

[Danthrax]

That just confirms the WiiU will release no later than November.

But it'll totally be in November.

 

[Teletraan1]

I think logic already confirmed that.

 

[DGRE]

Not news. We've gotten release dates from other companies for as early as the end of October.

 

[jambo]

I don't think you can draw any kind of conclusion from that but it's going to be November,

GameCube: November 18, 2001
Wii: November 19, 2006

Done.

Thanks for the info from Aussie-Nintendo!

 

[MasterSheen]

It confirms that it won't launch in December.

 

[Ein Bear]

I'm honestly surprised we don't have a release date by now. When did they announce the date for the Wii?

 

[Ryoku]

Sega does what Nintendont.

Like releasing a new console.

Yeah, I went there. Whatchu gonna do?

 

[akilshohen]

I'm honestly surprised we don't have a release date by now. When did they announce the date for the Wii?

probably trying to redeem themselves at TGS.

 

[DGRE]

probably trying to redeem themselves at TGS.

They haven't been at TGS in years and won't be there this year.

 

[Meelow]

They haven't been at TGS in years and won't be there this year.

They are going to have they're Fall Conference which is usually right before TGS.

 

[KillerTravis]

They haven't been at TGS in years and won't be there this year.

They do a conference one day before. They are there, but they are not really there.

 

[Brofield]

I still firmly believe, based on previous console releases and patterns, October 21st or October 26th makes the most sense.

It can at least confirm that the Wii U has launched by then. November is launch window if Wii U released September 1st, isn't it? Or has Sega confirmed the game for launch day?

 

[Nemesis_]

Thanks for the info from Aussie-Nintendo!

wut

 

[DGRE]

They are going to have they're Fall Conference which is usually right before TGS.

Right. I'm clear on that. Saying they will "redeem themselves at TGS" doesn't make sense because they won't physically be there.

 

[Row]

bad idea, they'll be compared to and totally overshadowed by the ipad mini

 

[VOOK]

wut

jambo thinks he is funny.

Ubisoft México says October.

Is that for real?

 

[jufonuk]

November 20 then, nice

5 Days after my Birthday, sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

That'd be cool, but I don't trust Ubisoft México.

 

[chertipros]

Was there ever any doubt that it wouldn't?

 

[Huff]

One thousand dollas

 

[joedick]

Did anybody think it would come out in December?

 

[Meelow]

Ubisoft México says October.

https://twitter.com/UbisoftMexico/status/217406883781279745

I don't know what to say to this...

 

[Deleted member 17706]

It's got to be October. Even if it's not, it would be an absolute disaster for Nintendo if they didn't launch before Black Friday. This is pretty obvious, so stating that you have a Wii U game coming out in November doesn't seem that problematic.

 

[Etzer]

Ubisoft México says October.

https://twitter.com/UbisoftMexico/status/217406883781279745

Ay, Dios mio.

 

[Duffyside]

The WiiU could launch in September, and you'd able to play Sonic Whatever in November. This doesn't mean anything.

 

[dragonflys545]

Wouldn't that be a bad time to release it when millions going to buy black ops 2 and play that for the next few months.

 

[Anth0ny]

They always launch their big gun the Sunday before Black Friday. This year it will be the Wii U.

[Iacobellis]

Price?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

how did this game become a Wii U launch title?

where did they find the time?

 

[metalslimer]

How in the world does that confirm the launch for November when the console could easily come out earlier and the game still launch in November. October is actually more logical

Edit: This actually fit very well with NSMBU not making it for launch if does launch early in October

Edit 2: When did Sega ever confirm this game for Wii U launch?

 

[Elfforkusu]

I don't think you can draw any kind of conclusion from that but it's going to be November,

GameCube: November 18, 2001
Wii: November 19, 2006

Done.

So... November 18, given that its a Sunday.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

They better release on November.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Zombi U would be a perfect late October game

 

[entremet]

Better get your pre-orders in cause the eBay scalpers are coming.

Spoiler

I doubt it.

 

[Throwaway123456789]

October 26th in Europe.

 

[metalslimer]

October 26th in Europe.

???

Yea I think late Oct will be a great time, mid Nov right before black Friday would be too late. The market is way different from when Wii and GC came out.

Nintendo cant afford to have to WiiU coming out after AC3, COD:BO2, and pretty much every other big game. They need to get the WiiU out before that big rush or those 3rd party WiiU games are gonna struggle. Get it out in OCT. people will get the early games, then they can gradually release WiiU games thru the end of the year, instead of bringing out a bunch of games at one time, a lot being late ports.

The WiiU is gonna sale great on black Friday rather it comes out tomorrow or Nov 18th, so it would be best to get the WiiU out earlier to get those early sales from the hardcore then on Black Friday they can get sales from the big shopping crowd.

 

[BassForever]

November is the logical release date, but for some odd reason I can't shake the feeling that WiiU will be in October.
