After a long lull on Nintendo consoles -- Wii U and Nintendo 3DS -- there is a rush for the consoles as some of the games that were recently released have done extremely well. And, what better time to buy a Wii U or a 3DS than Black Friday, when retailers are offering discounted pricing for handhelds and its games.

Games like Super Smash Bros. Wii U and Mario Kart 8 are finally giving the company some profit due to the Wii U sales as a result of the rising interest in them. In addition to this, GameFreak recently released Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for Nintendo 3DS. In the first three days of its release, Pokemon ORAS has sold more than three million copies in Japan and US.

According to a CNET report, between the periods of 21-23 November 2014 "Nintendo sold 490,000 physical and digital units of 'Super Smash Bros. Wii U' in the US", making it the "fastest-selling Wii U game ever in the US market."
