Ah, so that means Dream Team was probably playable at all events then. Weird, as you'd think they woulda announced that aswell, but maybe it was a last second thing they decided. Regardless, twas an awesome surprise! ^_^

spurgeonryan said: I did not know these events were happening. Of course they are popular. It is like nintendo does not know how to market their products anymore. This is at gamestop? How'd the pikmin event go? Especially since gamestop employees seem to be biased towards nintendo and have limited knowledge about them.

Where have you been!? It was announced by Reggie last week that these events were gonna happen, and then again in the mini-direct. And of course, threads were made on the subject. It's not too late though, as the event is on for one more day, being today 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. See gamestop's website for locations.

Didn't you read mah post!? Today from 1p.m. to 4p.m. Check Gamestops website for locations. I can't copy/paste link atm, but typing "Pikmin 3 Gamestop" into google should work.

Another little tibit! Apparently all stores demo'ed Dream Team, and they didn't announce that they were gonna do this on purpose! They may do more surprises like this future, so it's all the moar reason to go to every event. I know I sure will! (if I can)

This will be the year that a Pokemon game is the top selling game on a handheld. X+Y will easily break 10 Million. This is the year for 3DS. Next year is the year for Wii U.

Pokemon X/Y Demos would be interesting. They've been doing that type of thing in Japan for awhile now, so finally bringing it over to the US is nice of NoA to do. (Surprisingly NoA has been doing some things right, for once.) But, one thing; how in the world would they fit so many people who would surely show up for the Pokemon X/Y event into a GameStop? There would definitely have to be lines outside the store.

I would also like to point out that the part about the Pokemon X/Y 3DS XL's seems like the Rep's opinion on the subject. It would be nice if he was right, however. (I definitely want that gold Xerneas one.)

Doesn't that happen everytime a Pokemon game releases? :L

Well unlike Wii U demos, it'd be easily possible for their to be multiple Pokemon demos via multiple 3DS's. Seems like that'd especially be a great move so people can battle each other. There'd definitely be a line still though. SSB4 will likely have a similar issue hehe.

Think about it though. They realeased an AC: New Leaf 3DS, and Pokemon is not only the bigger franchise but is also coming out close to the holidays. To not release the new models, Nintendo would have to be the absolute dumbest company in the history of the universe lol.

Well, DS was Nintendogs and 3DS is currently Super Mario 3D Land. These games should take the 3DS to new heights though and give Nintendo time to make new games for 3DS.

Oh, that's what you meant. All true regardless!
