I Bought Hey! Pikmin Today

Got it new too. I notice that amiibo symbol on the top of the box there. Too bad I have the old 3DS and can't take advantage of that. I'd upgrade if it were possible for me, but it's not. I still want that new Pikmin amiibo anyway just for display purposes. The Gamestop I went too wouldn't let me have it because they said they were holding it for someone. Bah! Another reason I dislike going there anymore. Allways unfriendly, always wasting my time. I'm glad I'm not renewing my membership after this. I'm seriously considering going online for all my purchases, retro or new.

Hey! I just noticed at the bottom there it says, "Plays only in 2D". What's up with that? Is 3D dead again? This technology has come and gone more times than VR probably will.

There's a hockey puck sized reader that GameStop sells where you can use Amiibos on older 3DS XL's. Also congrats on the new game!

I tried to get one at Gamestop but no one in my area had one. So I went to Toys R Us and got one. I would've rather gotten it at Gamestop with my trade-in money. I felt I really needed it though.

Some people have good Gamestops, but I hate that fucking place, personally. 

I'm surprised that doesn't play in 3D. Waddup with that?

Enjoy the game!

I really don't like it anymore either. It's so pushy and sales crazy. Very unpleasant. 

Cary made a good point. The action takes place on both screens. It's be weird if one was in 3D and the other not.

Yeah you can still scan amiibos with old 3DSes.  You just have to buy a seperate reader that costs about 20 bucks.  That's what I do.  I don't even have a 3DS XL, I just have the original old 3DS!

Shame that your GameStop isn't very good.  The one I go to is great, that's where I reserve all my amiibo figures.  But there is another GameStop nearby that I don't go to, even though it's bigger, because the clerks in that one are so rude and cocky.

I imagine Hey! Pikmin is only in 2-D because the action takes places on both screens.  I don't mind since I can't see in 3-D anyway.

I have the old 3DS too and just got the UPC reader. 

The Gamestop experience varies. It depends on who's there. I just had a good talk with someone at a store I rarely go to today. 

That's a good point. I keep forgetting as I play that there's stuff going on on the top screen as well as the bottom one.
