Love this place and Mr. Mick is a funny dude while also knowing his stuff. Could sit and talk for hours about retro stuff with them.

Great local business! Nick was really cool and helpful. He also pointed me to a new game I hadn't heard of because I liked an older game that his recommendation was based on! I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is awesome. Great prices, customer service, and game selection. I picked up a SNES XBand which is very rare. read more

Coolest game shop ever! All the staff is friendly and they treat you fairly. They've got a massive old school selection and know a lot about them to! Very cool store!! read more

One Up Games is awesome! If you haven't checked it out, it's in Plainville near North Attleboro. My kid's favorite store for Pokemon related merchandise :) They have all the platforms and thousands of games to choose from- $6/hr. or $15/day. A great way to check out games before you buy them! They also have a machine with tons of old school Atari games! The people there are so friendly and nice and create such a welcoming atmosphere. They are very clean and go above and beyond in the precautions against Covid. I highly recommend checking them out!! :) read more

I just the nostalgia of this store. It like a window into the beginning of gaming. The staff is very friendly and helpful

This place is one of the last privately owned brick & mortar gaming stores of its kind. Especially because it buys & sells old gaming consoles, which other name-brand gaming stores stopped doing over a decade ago. #SupportLocal read more

Remember the days of Atari and Asteroids? I was quickly reminded when I visited 1UP Games this week. As other reviews mention, they have a large selection of used games that are competitively priced along with gaming systems that go way back. My son's Wii kicked the bucket shortly after moving to the Valley. What does one do with all the games that we've acquired over the years? Sell them? Nah, we found a used system with a 30 day warranty for $55 at 1UP Games. It was clean and came with all of the hardware. If you're looking for a game, whether to buy or sell on trade, or gaming system that brings back memories of the start of it all, check this place out. Looking forward to going back! read more

My family and I came here to revive an old Super Nintendo from years ago. The man who helped us was super knowledgeable. The store is clean, well organized, has just about any retro game you can think of, and some toys that my daughter (6) was in love with. I usually feel awkward when going into a small store but the man let us shop without hovering over us. We are not big gamers but this store accommodates every level and age with various levels of interest. We can't wait to go back and are so happy this store exists in our neighborhood! read more

I accidentally found 1Up games as I went in this shopping center to turnaround and go to get lunch. It is a cool video game store that sells modern games/systems SNES/Sega and retro games and portable systems like Game Gear, Gameboy and occasionally WonderSwan and NeoGeos. I bought some old gameboy/Gameboy color games and a 3ds games. Prices are great and some things are cheaper than Ebay. Games I purchased work fine and that is my favorite thing about box stores like 1Up. Service was friendly and helpful. read more

1UP Games - Video Game Stores Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Closed at 3:45. Sign in the door says open until 5. Glad I drove 20+ minutes to get here. Moving on.......

Just walked in here for the first time, and wow, what an awesome little shop. I didn't get the same dreadful feeling I get when I have to go to one of the big chains. Tim was perfectly content to just let us browse, and he didn't even try pressuring us into preordering any games I've never heard of. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. There was some awesome videogame inspired music playing, and lots of Nintendo Power posters on the wall. I'll definitely check here first, the next time I'm searching for a retro game. read more

Cool people running it and a really good place for affordable and decent used hardware and games.

Super friendly. Great selection and prices. Would recommend to anyone looking for retro games !

This is absolutely one of my favorite places to go, the only problem is I wish I lived closer! We hike all the way from North Peoria at least twice a month and never leave empty handed. The store is always clean and everything is super easy to find. Nick is awesome to talk to and incredibly helpful. read more

One of many places I hit up this past Saturday on my never ending quest to find a copy of Ghouls N' Ghosts on the Genesis. I ended up chatting with Nick (?) for quite a while. Definitely a place I want to hang out again soon! While I didn't find the elusive Ghouls N' Ghosts cart, I ended up leaving with a pristine boxed copy of Super Mario Bros 2 for a fair price. I'll be calling today to see if they can fix my chewed Super Famicom controller wire that my dog thought was a tasty snack last night. Why couldn't it have been my crappy Dual Shock 2 controller I was playing at the time! UGH! read more

I haven't actually been into the store, but I've called a couple times in search of a certain game and a used controller and each time the co-owner, Nick, has picked up and is extremely helpful! They didn't have the specific items I was looking for, but gave me recommendations of places close to where I live. I'm sure I'll find an excuse to come into the store someday, but for now I'm very happy with his help. He just generally wants everyone to find what they need and spread positive vibes. Thanks Nick!!! read more

Went to 1up games and really enjoyed looking over their large inventory. The employee was very nice and knowledgeable about gaming. Prices are fair and will definitely be back to check out more games. read more

Great selection of Super Nintendo and N64 games! Tons of PlayStation and Xbox games from all the generations as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful too! This is a small business worth supporting read more

If you ever need a console or anything repaired just do what 1up games did and sent it to Vince from my mate vince. Vince doesnt charge much and he will get it working. 1up games charge double or triple what vince charges. https://youtu.be/3HoWezZ4pD4 read more

It's not a bad little store As they have game for many different consuls from x box Atari Nintendo play station and the likes. The problem was I think the store is just a little too small so they don't have a lot of selection between the console games. If they can fix the problem it would be a good better place to go for games read more

Used games. Lots and lots of used games. NES, PS2, Sega, everything. A couple of systems set up to play on, behind the counter is a TV with at least two 8-port switches, with a dozen consoles and a dozen more cables, presumably for testing consoles brought in. read more

Ok, so this place is amazing! If you are an old school gamer or even a new school gamer...go check this place out. I've been playing games since the late 80's on my Sega Master System and its so awesome to be able to see all the old systems and games I used to play...and yes they have master system games. The prices are also very affordable for an indie games boutique. I just picked up a copy of Tetris Worlds for my GameCube. Seriously folks, go check this place out. The owners are super cool too. Just go in and chat with them. I spent my first trip there simply sharing our love for video games, I'm sure they'd love to talk video games with you. If I had all the monies I would never leave this place...or at least frequent it daily. Great place! read more

Very friendly staff and amazing prices!! The staff go above and beyond to help you and give you recommendations. They are so kind. The store is decorated very nicely and they even have a spot to relax and play an old Nintendo system. They have everything from Nintendo 64's to psp's and wii-u's. If you are looking for some hard to find games they usually have what I'm looking for here! They have games, systems, game guides, figurines and other collectibles read more

I don't know much about old school games but this place takes me back to the few I played. And they have a very nice selection of modem games that I and my son are more familiar with so there is something for everyone here! The staff are friendly, prices and trade-in values are reasonable, and the tourneys they have are fun. There is a friendly, welcoming atmosphere which creates a place and vibe for the hard core gamer and the families who just want to gather around the console for some fun! We will be back! read more

I haven't been satisfied lately going to flashback games (horrible customer service) I was going to leave an online review when I saw 1up games in the recommended section. Went there for the first time today & great selection from the owner ; by the name of Eric . We talked a bit and he recommended some games I never heard about since I mentioned I like shoot em up games. Great prices for anyone on a budget and some cool collector items too ! Most importantly customer service was great! Got more than just a "hello" let me know if you need anything ‍. I'll definitely be coming back feels more like someone's game room than a "mom n pop" pawn store. thanks Eric! read more

Nothing but good things to say! Owner is a stud, hooks it up and is very genuine. !!!!!

This place is my first and only choice from now on. #1 always support your LGS over chains. #2 game cube bought to replace my lost original/childhood GameCube. #3 they have quality content on YouTube. #5 awesome shirts. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Owner is amazing and the staff are very friendly, helpful, and honest. If you're looking for an older game, chances are 1up Games has it or knows where it can be found. My boys (5&3) love going to the shop to play the demo NES and SNES. They can also test your personal system components and all purchased games are cleaning and usually are verified to be IWO. (In working order.) read more

I stopped in the shop yesterday and Nick was very helpful. I told him how I was on a mission to find a Nintendo 64 game to send to a soldier who was deployed for part of his Christmas box. Even though you did not currently have the game Nick went above and beyond to help me find the game I was searching for. If it wasn't for this shop and Nick I wouldn't have been able to make a deployed soldiers Christmas a little better! I know I told you thank you in person be everyone should know how great this place is and how much they care about customer service and people in general! read more

Yeah this place is awesome. Extremely clean, well stocked, and just beautiful over all. Nick (the co owner) is extremely cool and a good guy to speak with. I used to go to other game stores but this one has taken the cake. Competitive pricing and a great inventory. Without a doubt the best place to purchase video games. read more

Came here to get old Nintendo games and it was great! We ended up getting a bunch of Nintendo games and a couple of wii games. The prices seemed reasonable and the atmosphere is very welcoming. There are some chairs you can sit in and play games and the owner was very friendly! Great place to get old games and consoles! read more

This place is awesome! Seriously CHECK IT OUT! There is a nice relaxing set up in the store to play a few games and chill while you shop. I will definitely be going back. read more

Swung by on a retro game hunt...very impressed with the store! A great selection, nice atmosphere with good organization and a very laid-back staff. Picked up some Sega Master System games that I had a lot of trouble finding elsewhere. Highly recommended! read more

Nice atmosphere with the game music playing in the background and all the retro games of yesteryear. The prices are actually really good considering it's a brick and mortar store and the people actually seem to know about and enjoy games which is a big plus! Combined with it being close to where I live and I'll definitely be coming back here more. read more

Very organized. Everything is labeled and easy to find. Excellent ambience. Extremely reasonable prices both for sale and trades. Welcoming staff. Spacious and clean. read more

I went to this retro game store because I saw Gamester81 do a review on youtube for this location! I loved the atmosphere and they have a great selection of games to choose from that some other stores in the area don't have! If you're looking for Sega games they have a wide variety spanning from master system to dreamcast and a pretty impressive selection of handheld games as well! read more

Great selection. Owners cool. Picked up a couple NES games at a great price. Definitely going back!!

This place is THE PLACE to go for used (and sometimes new) games. The service is on point, and the guys that run this place really know their stuff. They actually care about gaming and gamers, and have really set themselves apart from their competitor, Fallout Games, in that aspect. The selection is great for a shop that size. I could go on all day about how awesome this place is, but suffice it to say that if you are looking for a used game store, 1UP Games is the place to go. read more

Whether you are a hardcore gamer or just love the nostalgia of gaming in your childhood, you have got to check out this place. It may be small but the owners have it set up perfectly. Only the best titles and selection, great prices, fun atmosphere, and the owners are the friendliest ever. My husband and I have a great time whenever we stop in and it feels good to support a small local business that so clearly pours their heart and soul into what they love. In addition to tons of great video game decorations throughout the business & video game soundtracks playing on the speakers instead of the radio (at least I think I noticed that last time?), they also have a couple TV's set up with different video games and fun challenges that go along with them. For instance, the first time we stopped in they had an old Super Mario Bros water level pulled up and if you could get through the level holding the contoller upside down on your first try you won a drink from the cooler! Another time you could win a drink by landing a helicopter in a game after spinning in circles 10 times. We used to go to Zia for all our used video gaming needs --- but we are total converts to 1UP Games now! Better selection, fair and reasonable prices, and GREAT environment. read more
