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.

As soon as I entered, the helpful staff explained where everything was located. Both people were…read morecool to interact with as I asked about certain games, where the new sealed games were located and where their loose games for each system were as well. 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!

The store is stocked with pops and toys and things that you can't find in other places. What I love the most is you can look at there stuff and they don't tell you not to touch anything.

It's currently 11:30 as i write this, the employee showed up 2 mins before 11 and still has everyone waiting outside. Edit: Around 11:30 the employee finally came out and when asked about the email which stated preorder time was 11 the response was "We're opening at 12" and she walked off after handing somone a flyer to head back in the store.

I know that it is generally some testing and resoldering to make things right. J&L quoted a reasonable price, and completed the work in under a week. We got the unit back, working great and even cleaned up of dust. The folks here are knowledgeable, and they have a great depth of vintage units, games and accessories. Was excited to see things from my childhood, Intellivision, etc. Super cool store, a mid-town gem, and there's a few cool shops nearby as well.

My wallet walked in with me...and never made it out…read more I went to the Bandai Namco Cross Store in Industry City thinking, "I'll just browse." That was my first mistake. The moment you walk in, it's like your inner child grabs your adult credit card and says, "We ride at dawn." There are Gunpla kits staring at you, shelves of figures judging you, and an entire wall of gashapon machines whispering, "Just one more spin...what's the worst that could happen?" (Answer: you leave with 14 tiny plastic characters and no regrets.) The place is super clean, well organized, and dangerously well-stocked. It's basically a mini Akihabara dropped into Brooklyn, except instead of jet lag, you just get financial regret and a bag full of anime merch you absolutely didn't plan to buy (but 100% needed). Highlights: * The gashapon area is basically a casino, but for anime fans. I blacked out and woke up holding capsules. * Tons of official merch--Gundam, One Piece, PAC-MAN--if Bandai touched it, it's probably here * Chill card game area where you can pretend you came to "hang out" and not spend money Only "downside": * It gets crowded, especially on weekends, which just means more witnesses when you say, "I'm not buying anything else" and immediately buy something else Overall, if you're even slightly into anime, gaming, or collectibles, this place is a must. Just set a budget...then double it...then accept your fate. I'll definitely be back--mostly because I'm pretty sure I left part of my paycheck there
