Test Your Mind previously released on the North American Wii U eShop last November. In Europe, XenoHorizon is now bringing it out on December 15. The game will cost €1.99.

For those who need a recap, here’s a trailer and overview:

“Trick questions, puzzles, tests of memory, and more! This game full of mini-games will test your ability to think outside the box and use the Wii U™ GamePad to solve various problems. Rules come and go as they please and it’s up to you to decipher the solutions to the problems… and maybe even what it’s asking in the first place! If you manage to pass the test (don’t worry, it’s fair), have a friend or family member try it and you might struggle to hold in your laughter as THEY struggle to figure out what they’re doing! When you’ve figured out all the problems, play a fast-paced memory game in local multiplayer and see who can win a battle of brains. Just don’t hurt your mind—we only want to test it!”

Adobe has reported some findings about Black Friday and Thanksgiving sales in the United States based on its online shopping data.

First and foremost, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were the top sellers across all video games. The NES Classic Edition and New 3DS XL Solgaleo Lunala Black Edition are said to be among “products most likely to run out-of-stock”.

Over in the UK, HookLogic says that Nintendo, Pokémon and NES Classic Edition were a few of most-searched toys between November 7 and November 21.

Pokemon Sun & Moon were finally released in the UK and in Europe last Wednesday, and it looks like the delayed release compared to the rest of the world hasn’t hurt sales of the games at all.

In fact, according to Eurogamer, Pokemon Sun & Moon are Nintendo’s biggest ever launch in the United Kingdom – the two games combined sold more in one day than Wii Fit did in two weeks when it launched back in 2008. To put it into perspective, that’s more than 300,000 units.

This is even more impressive considering that the UK is usually one of Nintendo’s worst markets in the UK – it’s likely that Pokemon Sun & Moon sold even better in countries where Nintendo has a stronger presence, like France and Germany. Part of this sales success can definitely be attributed to Pokemon GO; sales of Pokemon X, Y and ORAS spiked during the summer when GO was released, and it’s likely that some of that carried over to Sun & Moon.
