We know that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon are off to a great start in Japan having sold nearly two million copies in just a few days. Unsurprisingly, they appear to be doing quite well in North America as well.

During its financial call today, GameStop said that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon are the retailer’s best-performing games of 2016. Additionally, pre-orders were the highest for any title at GameStop in five years.

During GameStop’s earnings call today, CEO Paul Raines talked a bit about Switch. He shared some positive comments about the system, stating that it could be a “game-changer.”

Raines noted, “The Nintendo Switch, which I played at Nintendo a few weeks ago–we believe could be another game-changer that will expand the audience for gaming.”

GameStop’s management also said that PowerUp Rewards members are interested in Switch. Twenty-seven percent of these members who are aware of console plan to buy it. GameStop suggested that the number could rise following January’s event, but it’s already in line with that of the Xbox One at a similar point in time.

Black Friday 2016 deals were already made known this week at retailers including Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Toys “R” Us. Thanks to BFAds, images showing GameStop’s offerings are now available.

Despite GameStop having the largest ad dedicated to Black Friday, at least in terms of Nintendo titles, there isn’t a whole lot here. There’s pretty much nothing for Wii U, and little for 3DS. The few highlights including $10 off Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice and SEGA 3D Classics Collection for $20.

GameStop’s retro initiative has done well for the retailer thus far. Due to its success, GameStop is expanding the program.

All stores are now eligible for retro trade-ins. Previously, customers could only trade in retro games and systems at specific areas. It’s possible to trade in retro games, systems, and controllers. And if that wasn’t enough, GameStop is now offering Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and GameCube products through its website.

Hit up GameStop’s retro section here for more information and games that can be bought online.
