just reading the thread, it sounds like he works there
I'm surprised this comment is so far down.
It sounds a local store thing. But I just asked 2 GameStop guys and they know nothing about this

That's awesome. No fun allowed according to some people here though.

Videogames make people cray.
I don't get it
could be, the game comes out soon so it'd be weird for them to not know by now. also that's a lot of hats.

Gamestop marketing isn't always planned, they usually just spring it up on them.

Yup, I'm sure by the 18th a lot of Gamestop employees are going to be pleasently surprised.

Called my local GameStop and the dude confirmed that they'd be doing this too. I'm gonna pop in just to see.

I will still try to find the paper my boss read and I hope we can be friends Wario64. I always like your threads about deals!
When I worked at a video rental chain, we used to get sent t-shirts with this or that big title on them to wear when they came out. I'd assume game companies occasionally do the same thing with Gamestop emplyoees?
This just seems like a slightly more creative form of that, really. Instead of just a shirt that 95% of customers are going to ignore, it's a very noticable advertisement. Probably sucks for the employees, but at least Nintendo's kind of trying.

Its okay and glad to be your friend. I was more worried I was going to get banned if people thought I was lying.

How is this any different from having to wear a uniform for work, I honestly don't see what there is to get offended about this... some people man.
Haha this is awesome, too bad it's only for the shitty GS.
Relax, Wario, as omnipotent as he seems, is just a mere mortal like us.

This could actually be a damn good way of raising awareness. Will be curious to see how it pans out.

I still don't get it. Can someone explain?
Publishers often give money/benefits to the press to promote and review their games with glowing reviews. Also known as money hat.

I would be ok if I got to keep the hat!
I honestly don't see this as bad. If I were the one working in a game store anyone walking in would immediately recognize whos hat I am wearing.
Luigi is one of the few awesome Nintendo characters anyways so I wouldn't mind wearing that hat; especially if I was working at gamestop.
Don't know how this comes off as bullying or what people call it.
I hope they do something similar for Soul Sacrifice's launch, but knowing Sony they usually opt in for some stupid preorder cosmetic dlc rather than getting retailers to wear get ups.
Imagine walking in and you see a Gamestop employee in a Merlin costume. I would drop everything and buy that fucking game. Because its fucking merlin.
Anyways, if Ebgames gave me a luigi hat for preordering Luigi's mansion: Dark Moon I would go out and preorder it right now. I will probably pick this up eventually down the line, always got to support original titles rather than shoddy ports like the one coming out on tuesday.

Wow that's funny, I didn't see it coming at all.
But I will talk in stereo typical Italian for this occasion.
Edit: Apparently this post sounds sarcastic; its not meant to sorry.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
What's with all the bile on wearing the thing? Honestly this is much better than chugging a huge statue that will only see exposure during a game's release.
From what I read this is actually the least terrible thing they have done to their employees.
