Amazon is celebrating Cyber Monday with a special sale. By entering a special code (pictured above), gamers can save 15 percent on select pre-orders and new releases.

Star Fox Zero, Fire Emblem Fates, and Project X Zone 2 are among the eligible games. You can see the full lineup here.

We won’t get proper scans of this week’s issue of Famitsu until two days from now, however a preview image of this week’s issue published on Famitsu’s website revealed something interesting about Genei Ibunroku #FE, namely another party member and his Mirage.

His name is Ken Yashiro and he is a famous singer. We’ve actually seen brief glimpses of him before in some of the game’s trailers. His Mirage is the Swordsman Nabarl, who originally appeared in Marth’s games (both the NES versions and the DS remakes).

We will have more detailed info once we have the full Famitsu scans on Wednesday.

Update (11/29): Bumped to the top. Target’s press release clears up that Wii U was actually the #1 best-selling item on its website during Thanksgiving.

Original (11/27): Wii U sold extremely well at one North American retailer during Thanksgiving yesterday. Business Insider reports that the console, along with the iPad and iPad Watch, helped Target achieve its biggest online shopping day ever.

Nintendo brought out a new Wii U bundle for the holidays which comes with pre-installed copies of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Splatoon. At Target, the bundle has been available for just $250.
