Nintendo News: Avoid the Rush: Consumers Can Now Pre-Load Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- It’s no secret that video game fans are beyond eager to get their hands on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. To help shoppers avoid the day-one rush, Nintendo is offering a few ways for people to get their hands on the game as soon as possible after it launches in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U.
Starting now, Wii U owners can pre-purchase Super Smash Bros. for Wii U directly from the Nintendo eShop or by purchasing a download code for the game from participating retailers. At the time of pre-purchase, much of the game’s data will be pre-loaded to the purchaser’s Wii U system if it is in Standby mode. As soon as the game releases in the Nintendo eShop at midnight Eastern time on Nov. 21, the final data needed to unlock the full game will automatically download.
Super Smash Bros for Wii U has also been available for pre-order on Nintendo.com. Today Nintendo announces that these pre-orders will also support the same pre-load capability. Within 72 hours of the game’s release date, people who have pre-ordered the digital version of the game on Nintendo.com using their Nintendo Network ID will be emailed a redemption code. Once they redeem the code, they will also be able to pre-load the game.
These pre-purchase and pre-load options offer a tremendous benefit to players, who will be among the first people able to play the game once it arrives on their Wii U systems.

Cool, Dragon - has Game issued you with the download code yet? I went digital as well but I haven't received a code yet. I hope we get it sharpish so that we can use the pre-download option.
Meanwhile, here's a pic showing the default controls for the Pro Controller; they can be tailored to your own choice:
My email just says coming soon, much like it did when I ordered the 3DS version. I guess that the code will be sent out on Thursday so I should be able to have it downloaded in the twilight period between finishing work and midnight. I just hope that I don't have to start work early on Friday

Don't worry, I will hopefully be online and I suck at these games.
