Many Wii U games have had poor launches and even if they started good dropped way down the following weeks. A way to get Smash Bros 4 and the Wii u selling like crazy could be to launch it on Black Friday. It would most likely sell out everywhere (the game) and have a high demand for Wii U consoles alike. Also the prdocut could continue with high sales even into the next year and give Wii U a boost next January. I think it's a smart idea to release it then but I'm not someone who lives marketing so tell me what you guys think

No. SSBU should release the week before Black Friday. In this scenario SSB will have it's large opening week sales and then a follow-up with large Black Friday sales. I personally don't understand releasing games on BF since that's an already cramped day and games might be skipped in favor of others, not the case with an earlier release.

It should be a week before Black Friday, like 3D World.

As long as it launches before 2015 T_T I want something epic during Christmas damn it!

A week or two before Black Friday.

But it ain't the same darn it! Obviously I will get the 3ds version no matter what but I need to see Zero Suit Samus in HD one way or another!!!! Although, Trophy mode in 3d is something I will be looking forward to very much!

No.

The end November, start December.

But for me only in December.

21 November (28 for we European) coming Pokémon, so, too much competition... week before christmas.

It should be released a few weeks before Black Friday, Ideally I would say 2 weeks before to have a good launch and to continue to have strong sales through Black Friday. There should also be a bundle during this time to maximize hardware sales.

However, the more and more I think about it though I'm starting to have my doubts It will release this year because of the delay of the 3DS version.

No. November is too early for a game like this. I expect this game to come out late December, right around Christmas.
