I highly recommend stopping into this place for three reasons…read more One, you need a serotonin boost Two, you're a tourist and want something very New York and actually unique to the city that you won't really find anywhere else Three, you're a collector or thinking about getting into retro video games Video Games New York has been around forever and I really hope it stays that way for a long time. It honestly feels like one of the last spots in the city where you can walk in and see this huge, slightly chaotic collection of games and consoles all in one place. The Nintendo 64 section is probably my favorite part. They have so many different variations it's kind of nostalgic overload in the best way. And they've also started adding video game soundtrack vinyls which is really dope and fits the vibe perfectly. The staff is also super cool and really knowledgeable without being overbearing. Just don't go in only to browse. Try to grab something if you can, even if it's just one of the anime themed sodas or a small piece of merch. Places like this really feel like they deserve the support so they can stick around.

They also buy your used items for credit or cash. With the Knicks win, they had a video of KAT visiting here with all his nostalgic for videogames.

I say, "As classless…read moreas a Marxist utopia!" After attempting to patronize this establishment several times and encountering the same treatment and atmosphere, I felt obligated to warn others of this unprofessional and impolite "business". Most recently, I arrived to find the door seemingly locked. I double checked the hours and saw two fellows talking inside. I had to practically pry the stuck door open to which I was met with two blank stares. (not even an apology or getting up from behind the counter to open the door for a customer). Strike one. I enquired to the staring faces whether they had DJ hero controllers. I was met with a short, curt "No!" Strike two. Giving them a third chance to make a sale, I asked if they had Guitar hero ones instead. Again, the same rude response. These fellows were standing around flapping their jaws in an empty store during operating hours and treated me as if I were somehow inconveniencing them. Having read other reviews (particularly those on google) this is how the hairless and portly owner treats all of his would-be customers. It seems you can take the boy out of the 'hood, but you cannot take the 'hood out of the boy. Simply see how he replies to negative reviews and it will confirm every one. This is not how you treat people, especially if you are depending upon them to keep the lights on. Save your time and money and look for what you want elsewhere. Poor form, not very sporting. 0/5

This place is a really clean and bright looking store- John, who was working there, had told me…read morethis establishment has been open for around 10 years, and gotta say they do a great job maintaining the place. This place sells all types of video games - there's a whole aisle of them, if not more. I saw old game boy colors, figurines (saw some from the final fantasy VII Remake!) , and even wireless guitars from guitar hero. This store helped buy off old Yu Gi oh cards for me, and bought most of my cards (all except the Unlimited edition ones, which they informed me didn't cost much) from me for 30-40% of the original price. I mentioned I was cleaning out some old toys that we had at home, and they mentioned that they could buy them off me if they were of some value. Overall, John was really helpful and patient in explaining in layman's terms the process buying and selling things whether online or in person, which I totally appreciate.

I wouldn't say they have a wide variety but they do have a little bit of everything which is good. Prices are reasonable compared to other game store I been too.

There was an event taking place, with many patrons playing a card-based strategy game toward the back. Good crowd and everyone seemed to be having fun. Retro game selection was impressive. Plenty to look through if that was your goal. However, we were hoping to pick up some newer games and simultaneously support a small, local, business. Selection of newer stuff was nominal, which was disheartening. Staff said hello, but never approached, never offered to help or strike up conversation. Prices were a bit higher than anticipated. However, I'd willingly pay it to support a local, non-chain, store. However, there wasn't much for me here when I visited.

I recently purchased an Analogue Pocket that's spurred a resurgent interest in Game Boy and SNES games. Inside I found plenty of Game Boy Advance, NES, and SNES cartridges, and even a well aged SNES console. Plus N64, GameCube, Wii, and Wii U choices. It's obviously not a complete collection, but there's so much stuff inside that I effectively relived my 90's and aughts in the space of half an hour. When we stopped in, a regular was relating a story about grinding for some item (I'll be honest, all that stuff blurs together), and the staff was convincing me that they really cared, despite them clearly not knowing the game or item in question. If I played CCGs I'm sure I'd appreciate the shelves and shelves of singles that are laid out at the front. Prices seemed fine. They had an out-of-box Mario Wiimote for $35, Dragonball Z figurines for $30 each (2 for $50), a used Xbox 360 console for $100.
