My wife and I love our Nintendo Wii but one day it stopped working. Trying to find a legitimate…read moreNintendo repair place that would work on the Wii seemed to be impossible... perhaps Nintendo just doesn't authorize it anymore. But, we wanted a working Wii so my wife called around and discovered this place. They couldn't repair our game system but sold us a replacement one (minus the cords and stuff which we already had and thus didn't need) for around $20, with a 30-day warranty. We took it home and it works. So, we are back to playing the Wii. Wheeee! They also sold retro toys, board games, video games, movies, and other "nerdish" things. It was a fun walk through, though you could easily empty your wallet and walk out with some nifty things if you aren't careful.

This is the best game/card store in the Albany Area…read more Incredibly nice staff that help you with whatever you need. They have a very large selection of video games and compared to other stores around, they have good prices. I've found a few games there that I haven't seen at other stores in my over 10 years of video game collecting. Definitely stop by and check out this shop if you collect games or cards.

Gamestop) I felt welcome upon entering and wasn't treated like an idiot (though some of my questions surely would have landed me in that category). I wanted a new Nintendo Switch 2, had several old systems to sell, and wasn't quite sure of my options. They were super helpful, gave me what I considered a good price on my used trade-ins, and worked with me to place my order. One note of caution: they are in the same plaza as a popular pizzeria and parking is tight at mealtimes, especially on the weekends.

Everything is displayed not only so that you can fully see the item and price, but also aesthetically pleasing. They have a very extensive set of items here and some really interesting ones, too. You can tell that these folks love what they do and that they are serious about their craft. We visited this store on a road trip. It's a little out of the way if you're traveling either the Northway or Thruway, but absolutely a place we'll return any time we're in the area. It is absolutely worth your drive. Great place! Well done, folks!!!

Often worse than GameStop. I consider 33 percent bare minimum and 50-60 percent more reasonable like other stores give. Owner can be a bit rude.

NOTE: this is a review of their satellite branch that operates in Clifton County mall…read more This place is great. Movies are used but very cheap, and they actually organize them by category and name. Who does that? As a result, it is super easy to go in and see what they have. Furthermore, unlike buying movies online that arrive scratched and unable to play, I think they must recondition them before sale because they look great and I have never had a problem with a disc not playing. They also have movie posters, collectible magazines, Hess trucks, sports memorabilia, and who knows what else? However, I just go for the movies. When I can get a bunch of DVDs for $20 (the cost of a new movie these days), I am a happy camper.

The owners are the friendliest folks who love to chat & seem 2know all their repeat customers on a personal basis. They are so organized when you are lost in a huge selection & ask if they have a certain movie they have them all logged & find them fast.

I've been going to Pastime Legends for years now. Their prices and trade-in values are fair, and…read morethey are much better to deal with compared to the chain game stores, let a lone the big box stores. Not to mention the others do not specialize in classic games and systems. Pastimes Legends really is a one stop game shop. I've also used them to have systems repaired in the past as well. No complaints with that service. I don't know that there is really anything else to say... the staff in knowledgeable and helpful. 5 stars. Anything video game related... new or old... Pastime Legends is the place to go.

When I used to live in CT (over 10 years ago at this point) I used to frequent this Retro Games…read morePlus location on the turnpike whenever I had the chance. A few weeks ago I was back in the nutmeg and when I realized I was in the area, I made it a point to check this shop out once again. Strange enough, I now live in Los Angeles so I frequent the SoCal locations when I can and was stoked to see what this one had to offer. This shop has some arcade machines in the front, a very solid movie selection, retro toys for sale, and of course, a bunch of retro video games, accessories, and consoles to pick up if thats what you need. My current "looking for" list is pretty much just Gamecube games and Criterion Blu Rays, so I was super stoked to stumble across a copy of The Graduate when I didn't see any Gamecube games I was looking for. Like all retro stores, prices here can vary and can sometimes be good and sometimes be bad, things were pretty reasonably prices on this trip and I left a happy camper. Overall, Retro Games Plus is one of the better game stores in Connecticut and thanks to Game Exchange becoming a slop factory, definitely the best in this area. The staff here is knowledgable, the selection is great, and even if you can't find a game, you are sure to find something else when you stop by.

It's a nice place for retro fans to browse. I think it's a cool place to explore. They have…read moreeverything from video games to VHS tapes to Funko Pops. They also sell shirts mimicking nostalgia. They even have arcades that are blast from the past that patrons come to play classic games on. Arthur is a good guy. They may not have many video games from some video game consoles to sell but they have everything. They do have cool GameCube controllers here. Movies are really pricey though. They don't have too many kids films but those shelves are filled with mainly feature films for everyone of all ages. I like Retro Junk in Manchester better just because they have some really cool stuff that I think are eye appealing and are fun to browse there plus DVDs are somewhat cheaper there.

Very disappointed with my recent experience with Flipside Gaming…read more I purchased a booster box case when it was $850. Instead of being properly protected and double-boxed, Flipside placed the shipping label directly on the case and shipped it that way. The case arrived damaged. I reached out to customer service expecting an exchange. Unfortunately, they would only offer a full refund -- no replacement. What makes this even more frustrating is that the same case is now listed for $2,000. I'm left with a refund for an $850 purchase while the company can sell that inventory for significantly more. Regardless of the market price, customers should receive the product they paid for, especially when damage occurred during shipping and the packaging provided little protection. If you're ordering a case from Flipside Gaming, be aware that it may not be double-boxed or shipped with additional protection. Very unhappy with how this was handled and the overall customer service experience.

FlipSide Gaming SAVED THE DAY! Huuge shoutout to Kailer who helped me out…read more I'm not knowledgeable about TCGs but my partner was really excited for a new release. I pre-ordered the booster packs to surprise her without realizing that we can't even play the game without the resources from the "starter/trial decks". By the time I realized we needed these decks, NONE of my local game shops had any in stock and online listings were all scalpers selling for 2-3x MSRP. I contacted FlipSide gaming about re-stocks on the trial decks and they said they don't have an ETA but to sign up for their notifications. Perfectly reasonable response and I thought that was that. However, later in the day, Kailer contacted me back and said they received some returns for the starter decks and set up an invoice so I could place an order!! They totally could have just sold these in store or increased stock online - they would absolutely sell. But Kailer went out of his way to contact me back and manually set up an invoice for the purchase. Now we can actually play this game without having to pay scalpers!! THANK YOU KAILER AND THANK YOU FLIPSIDE GAMING!!
