That is mostly because the majority of people who use gamestop buy those consoles. Just look at these experiences I had at GameStop.

1. I come to get Pikmin 3 (and Family Party 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade) and store person tells me that I am the only one who is buying it from them.

2. After that, whenever I come to GameStop to get a Wii U game, they talk about how the only are getting or have one copy.

3. I came to preorder Wind Waker HD and hear the above. The store person said "this is not really a wii u demographic/area" and then I see a video about the PS4 on the advertisement tv-screen thing and the store person gets excited and says "one 2 more weeks!" and then I overhear a consumer talk to the other store person about preordering a PS4.

4. I come to get Sonic Lost World only to be behind a dude talking to the store person about whether he should buy a PS4 or Xbox One. And he kept going on saying "Xbox is better for entertainment, but PS4 is better for gaming"

5. I come to get Mario & Sonic Sochi Olimpics. I told them the exact title of the game and they acted like they don't know what games I am talking about until one of them knew what I was talking about. They had one copy in back in storage.

6. I come to get Super Mario 3D World only for them to yet again act like they don't know what I am talking about and say "Nintendo isn't known for releasing games on Friday, they started that"

7. All they have is a small Wii U section in the corner on no wii u's or even an ad on display

This just shows how anti-nintendo my GameStop is. They will simply act like any game released on Wii U or Wii U in general does not exist, not even advertising them in any way. If you bring up any Nintendo Wii U game to them the day it comes out or before it does, they will act like they don't know what you are talking about.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

kind of funny because both my gamestops love nintendo(or well games in general).

I even had a 40 minute discussion with an employe about pokemon x/y when i got it.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I don't really swing by gamestop very often. I usually just go to the colsest video game store, which sells old and new systems. I normally don't strike up a chat, but at least people there care about all games. But they don't really sell PC games I think.

This one is the worst. I mean seriously. It's like, video game racism or something.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

The gamestop I usually go too isn't that bad. I mean, they are nice, and it's the closest one to home, which is great. But some of the ones a little further are the ones you can tell they don't care for Nintendo.

I kind of want to work at Gamestop so that I could push Xbox and PS stuff in the background and really bring out the Wii U stuff...

...and that's when I save Nintendo and really sell for them and they hire me to be a spokesperson.

...and get fired because I'm not doing the opposite stuff.

...and get in trouble and have to fix it or else I'm fired.

Of course, if I get hired, I'm sure I would meet some Wiki folk and just be like "sorry, no special deals...but maybe a few dollars I'll say were added to your bill. ;)" (jk for the most part).

I would definitely really pull to advertise Mario Kart 8 though. I know that one will be selling good.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

In my gamestop they aren't either pro or contra Nintendo. They even still had GBA and gamecube games until like, last year.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

In my gamesto- just kidding, I don't go to game shops anymore. I can pretty much get any game I want for cheaper on OGS (even if it's a little more expensive, I still use it so I can rack up player points).
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

the gamshit i go to just wants to sell me stuff, they're not even slightly biased about anything

though the only time i go there is buy controlers since games are cheaper on amazon

Well too be honest the Wii U has not been selling well so number 7 makes sence. But people should not say negative opinions on games your buying.

At my GAME they don't really say anything when your buying a game.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!

Nintendo Direct will brodcast on Wednesday 18th December!
It says that it will show Wii U and 3DS titles that are coming in "SPRING 2014"!


MORE INFO in MK8? I think so...
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

YES
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

For us people in the Mario Kart 8 discussion topic for nearly a year, we nearly reach 100 pages by the time Nintedo Direct addresses a new MK8 trailer.

Give yourselves a pat in a back for working hard in this "sticky" discussion topic for this year.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Well, I live in Australia. I think mine would be late (airs on Thursday 19th, December at 1am) according to time zones and the International Date Line.
