Another retailer’s Black Friday 2016 deals are in. This time around, we have a look at what Toys “R” Us will be offering later this month.
There aren’t quite as many highlights at Toys “R” Us compared to some of the other stores we’ve seen. However, Super Mario Maker will be $20 off while Minecraft: Wii U Edition and Tumblestone will be discounted by $10.
View the gaming-related Black Friday deals from Toys “R” Us below.
The NES Classic Edition officially launched today, but consumers are having a tough time getting their hands on a unit. To quell some of the concerns consumers have, Nintendo of America shared an update about stock on its Twitter page.
The company said it’s “working hard to keep up with consumer demand.” Fans can expect “a steady flow of additional systems through the holiday shopping season and into the new year,” Nintendo said.
The full tweets are as follows:
There will be a steady flow of additional systems through the holiday shopping season and into the new year. 2/3

Nintendo has uploaded a new North American episode of The Cat Mario Show focusing specifically on Pokemon. Watch it below.
The latest episode of Pokemon Generations is now live on the official Pokemon YouTube channel. We’ve gone ahead and attached it below.
Pokemon Generations revisits each generation of the Pokemon games and sheds new light on some timeless moments. New episodes will be available weekly through December 23.
Work on Candle is complete, and the indie game is starting to debut on various platforms today. View a new trailer for the game below.
Candle is still scheduled for Wii U, but it’s unclear if Switch will affect those plans. I imagine we’ll find out in the months ahead.
Update: We have a release date for the Wii U version in Europe: November 24.
Original: Ohayou! Beginner’s Japanese is heading to the North American Wii U eShop next week. After that, Finger Fun Games has some additional plans for the game.
At some point in the future, Ohayou! Beginner’s Japanese should make its way to both Switch and 3DS. All versions will also be updated with vocabulary, grammar, and kanji.
Finger Gun Games wrote on Twitter yesterday:

Update: And sold out. Only lasted a few minutes!
Original: You can add Toys “R” Us to the lineup of retailers that is taking online orders for the NES Classic Edition today. It’s currently up on this page. We did see the NES Classic Edition sell out at both Best Buy and GameStop quickly, so it’ll likely be the same case here as well.
The New 3DS has been given three new color options in Europe: Orange + Black, Pearl White, and Pink + White. Check out a launch video below.
Nintendo is once again conducting Wii U and 3DS early next week. Certain network services such as online play and rankings will be impacted for a couple of hours on Monday in North America, and Tuesday in Europe.
