I'm visiting from Hawaii, and there are no stores like it besides thrift shops and buy/sell bookstores where you only hope someone donates or sells their games, which is very rare, and also hope they're not incredibly overpriced, which is often. I found Gamedeals and Press Start. I went to Gamedeals first, and it's in the same area as Press Start in New Westminster. I wish I can to Press Start first! It's a small store and messily organized because it's jam packed with everything retro. I was just interested in NES games. Their quantity isn't much, but their prices are a lot better than the other store. They also have more rare games, but they were still overpriced, just not as much. The person who helped me was very friendly and helpful. He's genuinely into this stuff and it clearly shows! I grabbed another load of NES games even though I said I wouldn't because I still had to carefully pack it away in my luggage. Next trip, I'll just bring an empty suitcase with bubble wrap! Overall, I wish there were more stores and people who sell retro games fairly and reasonably because the people buying are collectors too and look to just collect. Most people just price gouge like crazy just looking for the uninformed customers. I'm glad Press Start Video Games doesn't do that. All their games are guaranteed with a 14 day return policy (much better than 7 days at other stores). Just a great store! Reminded me of a video game store in Kaimuki I went to every Saturday when I was a kid. I regret not buying more NES games at that time!

I'm visiting from Hawaii, and there are ZERO stores selling retro video games besides the thrift shops and buy/sell bookstores where you only hope someone donates or sells their games, which is very rare, and hope they're not incredibly overpriced, which is often. Nintendo NES games is what I'm collecting at the moment. I had a pretty big collection when I was a kid, and recently felt like expanding it. Luckily, Vancouver has a couple of these stores, and Gamedeals Video Games has TONS of NES games!!! Getting to this store located in New Westminster from Downtown Vancouver was a journey, but worth it. Coming into this store brought back so many memories when I used to go to video game stores almost every week 20 years ago. It was pretty much the exact same thing! Not only was there video games, there were also toys, board games, and other awesome things. Everything was very organized by section and in alphabetical order. I spent a good hour here just browsing and selecting my games. For the NES games, they were only loose games or with the box. No dust sleeves or instruction booklets for the loose games for some reason. It was hard not to buy every game that I don't have, but I only bought the ones that were priced below market value and in good condition. In the end, I came out with 8 games. I definitely would've bought more if I stayed longer! But I need to safely bring them all home! I was looking for rare games, which they had a few, but way, way, overpriced. Overall, a nice, nostalgic experience. An excellent store with games and accessories for every game console since the Atari. The staff wasn't exactly the friendly, talkative, super nerdy bunch, but friendly enough. I felt I got a decent deal for my games. Definitely happy! Hopefully they all work cause returning them would be a little troublesome.

Large selection of new and past issues of comics to browse from…read more This is the first comic book shop I have found in Coquitlam (Port Moody). It's kind of located away from the main strip in a non-descript building. Once you enter, head to the far wall for all the latest comics. On your way there, you'll also find aisles and aisles filled with boxes of old comics. A quick perusal had me finding 20+ year old comics available. Comics are very well organized with labeled partitions. I had no trouble locating some of my favorite titles. That said, there were many back issues missing from the title I was pursuing. Prices, however, we're good since they were virtually cover price for 3-4 year old comics. The staff are friendly. In the short time I was there, a few regulars dropped by and were greeted like long-time friends. This store also has a large selection of Dungeons and Dragons figures.....the kind that you paint and role-play with. Not my thing, but it's available if you like that sort of thing. Also, they have a small selection of action figures, statues and busts of comic book characters, although prices seem a bit higher than I have seen in Vancouver shops. All in all, a good way to relive your childhood one comic book at a time.

Well, they have a 'real life' comic-book-guy. (seriously). This must count for one star at least…read more Of all things to say... this place is a 'legit' comic store. I hope every town or city has one like this. I don't know if comic-book-guy works there anymore, but I used to go in at super random times, and - without fail - there would always be a debate/discussion/nerd-out on (and this is all a positive): - Who was stronger, Green Hulk or Grey hulk? - Why your D/D character can't carry his battle axe upright on his back. - The new Marvel movie (pick your poison) was just so wrong! - Why DC comics are an eighth of a centimetre taller than Marvel - Singing lyrics to some obscure Gen X indie band. - Sheer silence if a hot girl I was dating accompanied me in. lol. Not kidding. Conversations would come to a full stop as we entered the room. Their older dungeony location was more... 'mom's old basement' - haven't been in the new place so really can't comment on them now... But the owners and his peons have been around for decades - so that's pretty rad. Bringing the authentic (and may I add ORIGINAL) comic-book-geek-chic to the Tri Cities. A suburban comic institution if you will.

I live in Poco and it's a shame to have such a terrible retro video game store here…read more They have a great selection but this is the most overpriced retro store in the lower mainland. There prices are about 20% more than the highest eBay price. I would venture to say 30 to 40% more than press start in new west or game bit in mission. Honestly I wanted super Mario Allstars for my snes. This guy wanted $69 for it. I went to press start and it was $29. That's $40???? Over double the competition. Avoid this con man at all costs. Seriously there is like 10 retro game stores in the lower mainland. Take a drive, it will literally cost less in gas then to deal with this bozo. Or order the most expensive copy of what your looking for on eBay. You will still save money. I was in there yesterday, their games are also in shit condition. There snes and nes games. So not only are they ridiculously expensive, they are ridiculously expensive shit. :)

The guy working there should really UP his Customer Service Game. He should be more friendly and helpful and I'm sure he would get more sales. What I really didn't like was that the trading cards my husband looked through for close to an hour were all individually priced. When he was about to take them up to pay for them, he was informed that the prices on the cards were not the prices, and that he would have to "look them all up" Are you kidding me ? #1 If items are priced- that should be the price you pay. PERIOD #2 If this is your policy - have a sign or take the price tags off. This really pissed me off since there were literally hundreds of cards that had prices on them ! #3 Price the cards before they are put out on the floor & people look at them ! #4 Tell the person looking BEFORE they spend an hour wasting their time !! So, this guy was planning on raising prices as we were about to pay - I don't think that is fair business practices! My husband was planning on spending a few hundred dollars - but after this we left without buying anything. This place could be so much better if changes were put in place. Sadly we won't know if this will happen because we won't be coming back.

Reset Games is one of my go-to game stores in Bellingham. They have an amazing selection of games…read moreranging from the earliest Atari games to modern console titles. Also, they have many different consoles there, and at good prices too! Sometimes they will have rarer consoles in stock like the Atari Jaguar or the Virtual Boy. They also have great deals on consoles. The prices may seem higher than market for the consoles, but that is because if you buy a console, it comes with OEM cables and controllers included, not 3rd party junk. For example, I got a VG condition non-yellowed SNES for $90 with all the previously mentioned accessories included. The staff are happy to accept a return within 30 days of a purchase with a full refund, which is very nice if an item stops working after a few days. As for trade-ins or selling, Reset Games will not currently accept defective/broken items as they do not offer a repair service. If you want to sell broken/defective items, go to Cosmic Games, as they offer a good repair service. The only slight downside is that the game prices are sometimes a bit higher than competing stores in the area, but their massive selection of games makes up for that. In conclusion, Reset games is a great game store. I always love stopping by. It's a must-visit for gamers.

I have gone there MANY times and got faulty items. We got 3rd party n64 games that are spray…read morepainted green with dead batteries so you can't save which we brought back multiple times. Every copy was bad. Every console I have gotten from there was busted and not tested properly. Multiple PS2 slims with dying disk drives. So, I went to their sister store down south. [over a 3-hour drive] Their staff told me they tested the ps2 they had. We drove back home and within 5 min the 1st controller port was bad and making the controllers loose connection and power. (how can you miss this if it was properly tested?) Also, that ps2 couldn't read disks towards the end of the disk. We have sold them a console ourselves and watched how they test consoles. They turn it on, throw a disk in, and if the disk reads, they just shut it off. There is no performance testing done, or everything I have said above would have been caught. BEWARE OF CONSOLES YOU BUY FROM HERE. ASK TO DO YOUR OWN TESTING BEFORE HANDING THEM MONEY, AS THEY WILL NOT GIVE BACK A REFUND, ONLY STORE CREDIT! They lost a customer that goes in spending 500 to 800 bucks a visit today. Their staff (dude with blue hair) told me they don't normally return consoles until I told him I spoke to someone in a higher position about this already, then, he wanted me to fill him in on what I was told so he could follow their policy better. Seemed like he was trying to cut me off on returns until I notified him, but I knew better already. Cosmic Games not only sell everything that Reset Games has, but they also do repairs, and their employees don't try to lie to me. They have made 1000s off of me and counting. Any issues I have had, they fix without charge as far as consoles or handhelds that I have purchased goes. Cosmic Games IS THE SUPIRIOR STORE costs more but WAY MORE accommodating and professional.
