Everything is tightly packed and has a huge variety of selection. In the back corner there are some signed collectibles and a small case of highly valued video game history. --Service/Staff-- Staff was quick to help me in finding my selection. There are so much to look at in such a small space. They even talked about some of their suppliers which great to hear or not hear being a video game nerd myself. --Food/Products-- Walk to walk and every space is taken with video games. They have one of the largest PS Vita collection, PSP, new, used that I have ever seen. If you are looking for something. Chances are to look here first before trying to purchase it online --Capacity-- Since wall-to-wall video games. There can only be one person in each aisle since there is not enough room to walk past each other. I want to say. No more than 3-5 people can be in the store because of how tight it is. --Overall-- A great place to look for video games. Note some video games have been there for a while and might have some dust on them. I will swing by every time I am in NY.

The selection of Nintendo Switch games is unprecedented here! They have US games and foreign games that you'll never find at Target, Walmart or Best Buy. There aren't many retro gaming stores left in NYC, but this one has a few game options with good value. I visited another retro gaming store on the following day and their prices were too crazy high, even more than online. I returned here the next day to pickup some more games. This location helps you to sell and trade gaming gear too. Looking for that impossible Game Boy or GBA game? There's a high likelihood they have it here!

They won't bother to clean their cheap games and they cost $10 each. Broken cases are super common.

It honestly hurts. Sorry although we need more video games stores in uptown Manhattan this one deserves to be gone. ASAP They don't do it for the love of the game but for the money which leads to bad customer service as were all aware of.

I prefer coming here over a GameStop or Best Buy because of the customer service you get here, its kind of like your family rather than having to wait 20 minutes just for someone to take care of you...

The store is well-designed and packed with Nintendo nostalgia, from classic characters to newer releases. There's a good mix of merch, collectibles, and display areas that are fun to browse, even if you're not planning to buy anything. It can get a bit crowded, and people lined up at least 10 minutes before the shop opened. Staff were friendly, and everything felt organized despite the traffic. Not a long stop, but a fun one -- especially if you're a Nintendo fan or just exploring the area.

They had the audacity to tell me the information was on the receipt AFTER I told them about their terribly refurbished controller, NOT before I actually purchased a 60 dollar piece of junk. This is the worse gaming store I've ever been to and I strongly suggest you to bjust go to Gamestop. Atleast they'll give you ALL necessary information related to a purchase BEFORE said purchase is made. They DO have knowledge of video games, but so do people at Gamestop. I've been through many annoying experiences with Gamestop, but never anything as irritating as my one time purchase from this store.

Game express shows that game stop is to pricey with there games and when you sell it to game stop you get lower the amount you deserve as for game express you gain the amount you deserve. There are other stores that are game express spread across the Bronx area and each of them has there own charm, and variations of old and new school products. Welp overall I think you should shop there because less hassle when it comes to lines and it a quick and easy way to go in search for the game you want and walk out without hearing a pitch for a subscription needed to buy a game.

Truth be told if you were not looking for this place you would risk missing it as its not on the…read moremain thoroughfare of the Bay Ridge avenue and instead just a few stores up the block. Its a small shop but stockpiled around the place up to the ceiling with gaming systems and previously owned cartridges of an endless list of popular games. There are likely even some unpopular ones that are now cult favorites for some reason. I noticed PS2 and PS3 items, along with Nintendo, XBox and many more. Not only can you find the games but they also have a stockpile of the actual systems and controllers on display so if you broke something you might want to get over there. Price wise I'd have to say that they can be all over the place because they are not your conventional shop with a new stock coming in from a distributor every day. They seem focused on the used games and systems so the inventory varies and fluctuates. There are games that are more rare than some others and some items might be in a little less than perfect condition based on use and that is bound to be the case with places like this. Truth be told, I find its better to deal with a slightly higher figure for something you've been looking for forever rather than risking someone else snagging it up while you opine the decision. While they primarily focus on video games for most gaming systems, they do have a stockpile of Funko Pops, some action figures, and a couple of boxes of old comic books all available for assorted prices. Again its based on the stock and the rarity if anything. I did see a stock of hats and billfolds and those are completely new along with a few cork boards of shiny pins which are also new. If you have a gamer geek in your family they should be brought here because I think they'd find something they need or wanted to have for awhile. I've seen them take trades for store credit but outside of that I am not sure how they deal with the walk ins with piles of games, comics or toys. Recommended.
