Sora96 17,256 Posted October 30, 2014 Nintendo has announced that pre-loading will finally come to Nintendo Wii U this year and for Nintendo 3DS next year. Pre-loading allows you to download and install a game before it's even released, thus allowing you start playing as soon as midnight hits. Thanks go to @Sab_Mas for the tip.

Shulk 8,623 Posted October 30, 2014 Is there any word on when this year this will start? Because I'm considering downloading Smash as a last resort in case I can't find any better options to get it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can you download a game before it's actually released? By this. Publishers always put their games up on the PlayStation Store allowing you to pre-order them and pre-load them.

So you would have an icon on your 3DS before the game was really out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sora96 17,256 Posted October 30, 2014 So you would have an icon on your 3DS before the game was really out? You mean like an icon you click to launch an app or game? Yeah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
