21st November is a bumper day for Nintendo fans in North America, with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U joining amiibo on the home console and Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arriving on 3DS / 2DS. As far as double releases go, that's an exciting day of gaming.
US gamers that haven't already put down pre-orders may want to consider Toys "R" Us to pick these titles up, or indeed any other games currently on their wishlist. The retailer's latest weekly ad states that on 21st and 22nd November shoppers will be able to take advantage of a buy one get one 40% deal on all Wii U, 3DS, Wii and DS games. The offer will only apply in stores, but it seems that cross-platform switching with the deal is very much on the cards, though grabbing two full-price Wii U games will naturally bring the most noticeable discount.
It's pretty savvy of Toys "R" Us to run this deal on the launch weekend — albeit not Sunday — of these big-hitting Nintendo titles. Unfortunately this does seem to be US only, as we couldn't see an equivalent promotion ad on the retailer's Canadian website.
Are any of you in the US planning to jump on this deal, or are you holding off for Black Friday? Let us know.

I really wish this was in Europe too
Cool! I can get Pokemon now! Or maybe Fantasy Life. Or Bayonetta! There are too many good games out right now. I wonder if my family will notice if I buy games instead of groceries?
So you're pretty much paying $84 for Smash Bros and Omega Ruby instead of $100 (before taxes).
I'm picking up smash at midnight. But I may use this to get tropical freeze and some other game. I just don't know which game I would pick.
ooo, such a good deal..... now only if i didn't own pretty much all the Wii u games I want now.... and that's a lot of Wii U games
Now.. on the other hand, there are 3DS games I want. I wonder if it is worth driving an hour... Probably not as I'll end up spending more in gas then Ill actually save.
Handy as I live in Scotland I miss Toy's R Us, I miss America! I want my mommy!
I get all of my Wii U games at Toys R Us ... The also have the 3 for $30 deal on Amibo
Wish this was here in Canada and online. Don't live near a Toys R US anymore. The nearest one has to be 45mins to an hour away from me.
As usual no chance of this offer in UK stores!
@King47
Watchdogs will be sitting on the shelf, waiting for someone to give it a chance. The game itself never chose to exist, and couldn't help when it was released... But that shouldn't stop anyone from giving it a new home!
I would but I have most of the major wiiu games that I want and I just took advantage of target's buy 2 get one sale.
I would probably buy Danger of the OOze 3DS for 40% off had I not already decided to take advantage of the buy 3 amiibo for $30 deal plus buying Smash Bros.
@wayward
I'm good. I haven't much interest in the game. But if I chose you get it, I'd get it a few weeks later since Ubisoft games drop in price quickly.
@Pokefanmum82 It's not in Canada too??? then it really isn't worth my while to drive there
So annoying that Watch Dogs for Wii U isn't listed.
If my ToysRUs has copies of Omega Ruby and Fantasy Life, I'll jump on this deal along with the amiibo deal.
@ikki5 I just meant I wish we had the sale in Canada too. I would so take advantage of the offer if it was. But it would have to be an online sale too. 😜
this is so tempting... but I'm going to be way too preoccupied playing smash wii u
Tempting, will be picking up the 2 Pokemon games tomorrow but my 1 kid has $70 in Target GC and we have the $5 pseudo pre-order GC for both games. Maybe a better deal at TRU but not enough to pass up using the GCs. I wonder if I could get Target to match? Probably not but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Keep the sales info coming TW, still need a bunch more games before Christmas.
Here's the actual ad - which is odd b/c SSB U doesn't have a price, Pokemon games say "Reg $39.99 maybe referring to the 40% off, and no mention of the free amiibo, which I guess means it was pre-order only w/ SSBU. Free amiibo and 40% off might have got me to go there:

meh I will be waiting for black friday to pick up the games I want. (supersmash 3ds, super mario 3d world, pokemon, fantasy llfe)
Cool! They had this deal last year as well and I got to buy X and Y with 40% off for me and my sis!
I guess I might just get to buy more games after all!
Cool. Too bad I took advantage of that Best Buy sale last week with 2 3ds games and pre-downloading Smash Bros.
A nice head start for Nintendo gamers before next week chaos sales with BOGO 40%off on All games.
@Tonyc1991 I agree! Why don't we get these awesome deals?
Or I can wait and take advantage of a straight 25% discount at Walmart for working Thanksgiving morning, which is a better deal overall. (Equivalent to buy one, get one 50% off, if you do the math)
I don't think there's a Toys 'R' Us anywhere near where I live, so it looks like I'm out of luck. Oh well; it could be worse.
Another America exclusive deal.
If you have GCU at Best Buy then this deal is irrelevant.
I'm thinking about getting Smash and Tropical Freeze.
@darthllama Not if you're buying both OR and AS and preordered them. Toys R Us is also giving free Mega Charizard plushes ($23 value) to people that preordered both.
Toys R Us CLEARLY won the preorder game with ORAS. We already preordered there for the free large plush, but now my wife's copy of the game will only be $24 instead of $40. It's like Toys R Us is just stuffing money in our pockets. If we had kept our preorders at Gamestop we'd have paid $80 plus tax and all they would've given us as a bonus was yet another poster.
Downloading Smash at 9pm (in CA), will go to Toys R Us for Amiibos tomorrow
Might be a nice time to check the used section...
So this is for any Toys R Us in the US right? Not just particular ones?
ahhh I already have all the games I want...
Another American only deal wish it was in Europe (UK in particular)
