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:

The release of Pokemon Sun & Moon is almost upon us and Nintendo has seemingly stopped with the regular video releases that reveal new Pokemon. However, CoroCoro magazine apparently isn’t stopping anytime soon. Scans of its latest issue have leaked today, and they show two new Ultra Beasts, one new Pokemon and exclusive Z-Moves for the starter Pokemon.

Interestingly, the names / numbers of the Ultra Beasts are not revealed – however, it seems like these Ultra Beasts might be version exclusives, based on the layout of the magazine page and their colors. CoroCoro also states that the new Pokemon is quite a mystery, and wonders how it is related to Solgaleo and Lunala. Decidueye’s unique Z-Move is called “Shadow Arrows Strike” in Japan, while Incineroar’s is called “Hyper Dark Crusher”.

More and clearer scans will likely pop up soon; we will keep you updated.

Nintendo has updated its Japanese website with a brief notice regarding the status of Wii U. Text on the console’s page simply states: “Production is scheduled to end soon.” This applies to both models of Wii U currently available in Japan.

It’s been rumored that Nintendo would be moving on from Wii U production, though the company recently denied such speculation. Today’s news would indicate that the big N will be moving on from its current console sooner rather than later.

YouTube user PtoPOnline has unearthed an interesting pitch from Silent Hill: Shattered Memories developer Climax Studios. During the GameCube era, the company was hoping Nintendo would give the green light on Diddy Kong Racing Adventure.

Big plans were in store for Diddy Kong Racing Adventure even though Nintendo decided not to go ahead with the pitch. Climax had a story in mind, with the intent of bringing back the Adventure Mode and multiple vehicles from the original Diddy Kong Racing. Also in place was a mount system so that players could move positions on their vehicle or move to a separate one entirely. Climax was looking to include fourteen different characters with unique attacks for each as well. 4-player multiplayer, along with a slew of other modes, were also in the pipeline.

Plenty of additional details about Diddy Kong Racing Adventure can be found in the video below.
