Scribblenauts Mega Pack

Earlier in the week, Warner Bros. announced Scribblenauts Mega Pack. Scribblenauts Unmasked and Scribblenauts Unlimited are getting released on Switch with new content.

Retailers have started taking pre-orders for the double pack. Amazon has it here while GameStop has it here.

Scribblenauts Mega Pack launches September 18.

GameStop has restocked the previously-sold out Mega Man 11 amiibo Edition. You can reserve a copy here.

Aside from a copy of Mega Man 11, the package includes the new amiibo, Dr. Wily logo adhesive patch, sticker set, and “Stage Select” microfiber cloth.

Note that the Mega Man 11 amiibo Edition is exclusive to GameStop in the US. No other retailer will be selling the product.

GameStop has started taking pre-orders for the new wave of amiibo launching on December 7.

For Smash Bros. Ultimate, you can reserve Wolf here. Ridley is here and Inkling is here.

Lastly, the Octoling 3-pack is up as well. Reserve the set here.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Each year when E3 rolls around, it’s accompanied by increased activity at retailers like GameStop. Switch in particular put in work there.

GameStop VP of merchandising Eric Bright mentioned to GamesIndustry that Switch sales doubled during E3 week. Titles like Smash Bros. Ultimate were also highly pre-ordered.

Retailers have started to restock the NES Classic Edition, which is making its way back to stores today. GameStop currently has it up here, including the standalone controller. It’s unclear how much stock the retailer will have available.

Nintendo Switch

GameStop reported its latest financial results last week for Q1 2018. The company saw decreases across the board compared to the same period last year, which was largely boosted by Switch’s launch at the time.

There was absolutely no way GameStop could replicate the same sales with Switch this year simply due to the console launching in 2017. However, that doesn’t mean the retailer isn’t seeing a favorable performance with the console.
