It's not every day you stumble across a video game store with the old school cool stuff like ATARI,…read moreSEGA, etc. The front of the store was current console games, and the further back you went, the further back in history you went... to the 1990's, the 1980's... I grew up in that era so I was stoked to see so many old familiar titles on display. I will say the place felt almost more like a museum or a hobbyist's den than a store, lol. Not a lot of obvious price tags on much of the older stuff; clearly if you were interested in purchasing, you'd need to get the help of an employee. Most of it was either behind glass or on an inaccessible shelf as well. Which makes a certain sense, because these are collector's pieces at this point that require careful handling. You don't want any kid wandering in and messing with a game cartridge worth $100+. I didn't buy anything while there, but it was really fun to marvel and take it all in like a sightseer, or time traveler haha. It was a pretty large store (at least double the footprint than GameStop) and there were plenty of fun decorations on the walls or hanging from the ceiling. Lots of arcade cabinets and such. Anyway, they must be doing okay because this is their newest secondary location. I'll have to stop by the original in Shakopee sometime.

Around 2017, I purchased several fake Gameboy Advance cartridges from this seller without being…read moreinformed that they were reproductions. To be fair, I should have been more attentive, although it's completely inappropriate to sell counterfeit cartridges as if they were legitimate retro hardware. The prices were also inflated; for example, I paid $34.99 each for two copies of Pokemon FireRed, when the going rate for an authentic, out-of-box copy at the time was about $20 (according to PriceCharting). One of the FireRed cartridges turned out to be fake and other was real. Another cartridge they sold me was Final Fantasy IV, which I later discovered was fake. Unfortunately, the FFIV cartridge doesn't save any game progress. I'm not sure if they're still selling fake GBA cartridges as authentic, and while it's possible they didn't realize the difference, it's still disappointing. They did manage to sell me an authentic copy of Castlevania Aria of Sorrow though, so it seems to be hit-or-miss. I'm still on the lookout for a reliable retro games shop in MN that sells authentic GBA cartridges. I won't be returning to this seller due to the previous disappointing experience.

This store is one of the first retro stores that I have come to after moving from Tucson, where…read moreliterally EVERYONE just goes to Bookmans (if you live in Tucson... you know, lol) They honestly have a great staff... as a previous reviewer mentioned, they don't have prices on much of the stuff, BUT here's the rub on that. Every time I've asked for a price its been reasonable. Most people appraise these games based of pricecharting and the like, but don't consider ANY sort of grading, so the result at most stores is that you end up with low graded, high rarity games, going for way more than they should. This isn't at all what they do here. These guys do a reasonable on-the-spot grading of a game, and seem to assess value based on current sold rates and market trends for specific games. I have honestly LONG dreamt of more stores doing that. It does result in what some may see as high prices... nah. I got a 20 dollar "pricecharting special" (my term for overpriced, ungraded games) for $8 based on a REASONABLE on-the-spot grading, and on the other end, a mint Bucky O'Hare for a reasonable price, CONSIDERING ITS MINTY-FRESHNESS. They have basically anything you could want there (including tasty CIB Mega Man X3, Earthbound, TONS of others literally way too many to list...) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY... GIVE A FAIR DEAL ON TRADE INS. Y'all don't have to wonder why they have what they have (pretty much everything... (no JPN or imports... understandably!) It's as simple as THEY GIVE YOU A FAIR DEAL.

I went to their Blaine location off of 125th & Central Ave. I heard about this store when I visited…read morewith my husband regarding selling old consoles. At the time, my husband just wanted to get rid of his old console and would be happy with any amount he made. The store has a wide selection of video games for a variety of consoles. But I stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon alone with a mission: Magic the Gathering cards. I was looking for Innistrad bundle set (2021), which they did not have. The shopkeeper led me to a small section of the store and they have very limited trading card games available. They had the draft set booster for way over the market price. They had it listed for $139 when TCGPlayer has brand new, factory sealed for $78, and have median pricing ~$103. Maybe it was because I was passive or didn't do in-depth research prior, but I felt hostility from the shopkeeper - like he needed me to make a decision and buy something despite they said they didn't have the bundle set I was looking for or get out. They stood by me as I processed what I should do since they didn't have the bundle set I was looking for. I simply thanked them for their time and left.

The very first thing I noticed on entry was the big…read moreProgress Pride flag hanging from the rafters-- immediately I knew I was among my people: the queer and nerdy! Approximately half the store is dedicated to various reading materials like comics, manga, and fiction. The other half is board games, RPGs, and supplies for said games (like mini figs and paints, dice, etc.). Throughout the store you'll also find toys, posters, collectibles, comic/trading card storage, and more. There's a lot to look at, so if you've never been, I recommend giving yourself at least an hour to browse around. This game shop also doubles as a community gathering and event space. There's lots of room and tables/chairs in the back to accommodate gamers who want to come in and play or hang and be social. I'm sure they have many specific goings-on each week (for example, I saw a sign advertising mini fig painting every Monday evening!); you can check out their event calendar on their website. There was also a gender ambivalent restroom and water fountain/water bottle refill station nearby. Some beverages were available for sale near the front. It is also quite obviously a safe space, as I saw in addition to the hanging pride flag an entire section dedicated to queer and trans materials, and an end cap as well for POC and disabled folk. I can't say how much it means to me as a trans person to see this kind of representation clearly on display during a challenging political time. I hadn't gone with the intention of buying anything (isn't that typical? lol) but to be honest, when I saw the queer support they were displaying, I wanted to support them back. It wasn't hard to find a couple things I wanted in order to give them my financial business. If you too prioritize supporting local queer businesses, consider buying from here! I normally wouldn't have been up this far north from where I live, but I was headed to a Yelp Elite event a little early and decided to see what else was in the area. So glad I stopped in here! I'll be back!
