Rejoice Super Smash Bros fans! The Wii U version of the game WILL arrive this year, November 21st for North America. If you live in Europe or Australia, your wait will be just a little longer, arriving on December 5th and 6th respectively. Also arriving on on November 21st (in North America) will be the first line of Amiibos, Nintendo's new figures that will interact with upcoming games. Super Smash Bros. Wii U will be the first to use the Amiibos, whose first line will include Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Fox, Samus, Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, Pikachu, Kirby and Marth. The second line that releases in December includes Zelda, Diddy Kong, Luigi, Little Mac, Pit and Captain Falcon. Also listed is the standalone GameCube controller adapter, that supports up to four Nintendo GameCube or WaveBird wireless controllers, will retail for $19.99. Of course, you can also purchase the adapter in the Super Smash Bros Wii U bundle that includes the game, adapter, and one Nintendo GameCube controller for $99.99. Lastly, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker will release on December 5th for $39.99. This is a sigh of relief for Nintendo fans, after rumors of delays to both Super Smash Bros. Wii U and Captain Toad.
Another Humble Bundle has started, focusing on some great THQ games. These titles are made available by Nordic, who acquired many of THQ's IP's from a bankruptcy auction. As always, users can pay however much they feel for a package of games. For this bundle, those games are Supreme Commander Gold Edition, AquaNox, AquaNox 2: Revelation, Black Mirror, and Summoner. Paying more than the average ( currently $5.22 ) will also get you MX vs. ATV Reflex, Titan Quest Gold, Darksiders, and Red Faction Armageddon. If you decide to go big, paying $10 will get you all the games mentioned above with the addition of Darksiders II, SpellForce 2: Demons of the Past, and Deadfall Adventures. Act now, the Nordic Games Humble Bundle is available through October 14th.
