Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is coming on November 21, Nintendo announced today.
Alongside the game, Nintendo will also launch its amiibo figures, whose reason for existence remains slightly head-scratching. (They look nice, though.) 12 figures are coming on November 21, and another six are scheduled for December.
It's unclear if Nintendo has been cagey about the Wii U release date for Super Smash Bros. because it was possible the game might miss 2014 or the company was simply hoping to sell as many copies on 3DS beforehand.
Nintendo also confirmed a December 5 date for this year's dark horse game of the year candidate, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, which will retail for a slightly lower-than-usual $39.99.
