Nintendo continues to play catch up with the current gen

Nintendo is taking yet another step to put them on par with all of the digital offerings of their competitors. The company has announced that it will begin supporting pre-ordering and preloading of games beginning with the upcoming Super Smash Brothers for the Wii U. This means that those who pre-ordered the digital copy through the Nintendo eShop will be able to install and load up the game prior to its release date. When the clock finally rolls over to midnight on 11/21, they’ll be ready to roll. It seems like every day making more and more steps to put themselves on par with the offerings of their competitors; maybe they're ready to be taken seriously...
