First time customers of the store. Owner was very nice and informative. Got very good deals on the games we got and even sold some games there. Many consoles, accessories, and games to choose from! He was very generous to us and even helped my husband look for certain titles.
While the exterior of the shop may be unassuming, inside you will find vintage consoles, controllers, and games packed floor to ceiling. It may seem a bit overwhelming at first and I certainly did not know where to start looking. I was in the market for old Nintendo titles/handhelds but after asking for assistance I found everything that I was looking for. I found the prices are competitive with online resellers and purchases come with a guarantee that the products are in working condition. Additionally, the store offers servicing of old GBC cartridges for certain issues, which I plan to take advantage of in the future.
After going to this store today, I can say I am very satisfied with my visit. I picked up 4 DS games: Pokémon White, Super Mario Bros(only one with booklet), Mario Kart, and Super Mario 64 DS Edition. DESPITE negative reviews, the pricing matched retail competitors. While yes eBay can be cheaper… buying from an established store is safer and my preference.
Staff was friendly and helped with all the questions I had. KEY NOTE: the collection amassed within this store is great! There are games and systems for: NES, SNES, N64, Wii, DS/3DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS1, PS2, PS4, GameBoy, and I definitely missed some.
I would like to note (because many reviews argue price), games with a case and booklet automatically demand more money. Many sellers on eBay will sell only the disc, drive, or cartridge(often times damaged!) which is not ideal for plastic case games.
At the end of the day, I was personally satisfied with my experience. This is no big name GameStop or BestBuy, this is gamers selling to gamers. The store is packed with games, consoles and gear just as you’d want it to be. Next time I ought to check out any CDs, Vinyl, or Cassettes possibly lingering. Those wishing to collect and those wishing to purchase QUALITY, look no further.
A couple key game names: Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon White(Sorry I snagged it!), Super Mario Bros 2(Dunkey’s game of the year for 10 years running), Banjo-Kazooie, Dr Mario, Resident Evil, and Luigi’s Mansion. These are only the games I remembered but there were many other big name games.
Apologies for this “essay” but I believe it would be a disservice not to give credit where credit is due. I will definitely be a returning customer, thank you for your help today!
