I think u described part of my dislike for bing dwen dwen pretty well. A panda encased in magical ice just feels weird and specific. As well as its eyes just looking cold and dead to me? Idk. I just don’t like em, he looks upsetting in general to me. The Paralympic mascot shuey rhon rhon is fantastic tho, love him 10/10

Rio 2016 absolutely smashed it with their mascots, my favorites

Interesting facts about Someity: It remains extremely popular to this day (yes even 3 whole years after the games). This has gone to the point where the JPC (Japanese Paralympic Committee) and TMG (Tokyo Metropolian Government) have turned Someity into an officially permenant character who still appears in events today. Since Someity was the mascot for a now over event, it has now been repurposed to carry on the legacy of the Paralympics and promote sports in Japan. Someity currently has 4 upcoming appearences that are a TOKYO FORWARD talk show on October 26th 2024 (in a few days), two Olympic Day Run events (one on November 2nd 2024 and another on the 9th of that same November), and the BEYOND STADIUM 2024 event on November 17th 2024. However, what can currently be done with Someity is extremely limited since the JPC do not own the rights to the character. The only public thing it can do is appear at events and that's it. But, I can see them buying the rights in the future due to the immense passion of the fanbase and the fact that the JPC seems to want to do a lot more with Someity since it cares about the fans. I think they are not doing it because they do not have enough money to buy the rights off yet. I mean, the JPC was involved in organising Tokyo 2020 (a fairly recent event) so they had to spend a lot of money on it (especially when you know about the problems COVID-19 caused to the event).

It's funny how you can kinda notice the point where they actually started to try to make the paralympic mascots, not just slap an animal or two with a disability and call it a day, and by that i mean "just throw something in idk"

WHEN U THINK UR PLAYIN YOUR OPPONENT. YOU ARE REALLY PLAYIN YOUR OPPONENT, EA AND YOURSELF. SO WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHIN THAT DOESN'T SEEM RELISTIC IT'S EA DICTATIN WHO WINS OR WHAT PLAYS WORK OR DON'T WORK.... ALSO THE D CONTROL IS HORRIBLE AND MADE FOR YOU TO MISS ....

Cool stuff man. I mostly am into pc parts, disappointed that I don’t have all the boxes, but most of them. My gf hates my collection 😂

Hello, I'm in the Raleigh area too! It's very weird seeing some of the shops I frequent on RUclips. I've really come to like PayMore, they have a shelf that they price at 6 games for $20 and there's usually some good deals on there, I grabbed Gears of War 1-3 last week for $10 total.

Nice video. I’m in the same area as you. The Raleigh Market vendors tend to be on the higher side for video games. The booth you showed used to have better pricing but has gone up like everything else. Quick tip on Guardian Angel - the FV location has a store next door that sells all their electronics. Thanks for the Cheshire Cat suggestion. Haven’t been there yet. I’ll have to check it out.

I’m actually entertained

My Dollar General keeps the games up by the registers to prevent theft.

I used to work at the savers store in parkville md

For anyone in the LA area. There is game store that sells older games and consoles called Game Dude.

You missed that zombies ate my neighbors/ghoul patrol for switch at the pawn shop at 7:18

Saw the title and had to watch. Finding video games at non video game stores is what I love to do. I got Saints Row 3rd Great Hits last week at a dollar general for $10. I used to have luck at 5 below a few years ago. Great vid.

This is so interesting because for the past few years my GameStop locations kept all the PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, and Xbox 360 stock. All you had to do was ask them to print out a sheet and they’d show you the list of what they had on hand and then they’d open a drawer and pull it out for you to purchase. It didn’t go further back than that though, only recently have I seen older games being put out.

7th gen is retro old timer

Wingstop next to GameStop is WILD!

😂😂😂 I'm like that way too , 😁 I love finding games lol but I really don't have time 🫠 to play LMAO.

Gamestop is a joke.....and always been...buy a brand new game for 60 and gamestop will give ya 20 dollars for it only five days later them resell for 54.99..

It is surprising it took them this long to figure out that people still want to buy retro games. I actually haven't stepped foot in GameStop for over a decade and probably still won't, but it is interesting that they decided to finally tap into the retro game market (even though it seems pretty lackluster from what you've mentioned). I'd rather show my support for a local mom and pop retro game store. Well, at least one that isn't actively trying to price gouge you for its games.

Do you live near Jacob R? You showed the exact copy of The Legend of Dragoon he bought at 2:58. The smudge is exactly on the "T" of the Greatest Hits that he shows in his video. Go to 6:15 on his video "Gamestop should be ASHAMED of their New Retro Store". Unless you both use each other's videos, then nevermind lol

Im so glad this hit my algorithm. Subscribed

They sound like aids 🤣

love the vid!!!

This man needs more views!

scott the woz vibes! great video dude

This didn't aged well. La Phryge has become the most loved mascot in history of olympics beating every other precious mascot. Also Miraitowa is just like Vinicius.

Pop Shelf is definitely just purple 5 below.

Great video bro!

WHINY BABY GAMERS BE THANKFUL THEY ARE STILL THERE GD WHINY BABIES

Cool video man

Vinicius is an S no diff, best mascot ever. I literally have no complaints about him, and with Tom I only have nitpicks (he can summon tools from his head so he can do the same things Vinicius does, and some other stuff, making him perfect for a paralympics mascot BUT they gave him two legs instead of a single trunk, which fits his plant theme and makes him disabled. It's such a simple change that would make them both the best mascots of everything of all time)

They dont have much retro titles and never will because they dont know a thing about retro gaming except that its huge right now. They dont actually want to put any effort into selling it or doing research on there worth, except what the titles go by on eBay. Which is not what they're worth to begin with. Dude you gotta look upmom and pop video game stores. They know everything about retro gaming, what the games are worth. And there passionate about all the retro titles and consoles. There's a game retro store I went to a couple of years ago. And found the very gamecube RE4 you purchased. I got mine for $10. No offense but that GameStop saw you coming. Ha. But anyway bottom line, its not gonna last with GameStop doing this. They already failed one at trying to sell them online. And they will fail again with these locations carrying some of them. Because again, they dont know what they're doing. They have no knowledge about this games, except that its popular and they go by eBay prices and make the prices higher. A mom and pop video game store doesnt do that.

The GameStop near me, two of them does have retro games, but mostly seven gen and Wii U but it’s on a rack

I remember my friends sending me the announcement on instagram being hyped about it. Meanwhile me seeing this is like “damn, the downfall of mom & pop shops shall begin 😔” I’m not excited for this but hopefully Gamestop will learn its lesson & becoming better with this venture than its previous screw ups 💀

What if I want, tho? 🤨

So it is basically what gamestop was likes when they first opened.

Please GameStop Retro, I really hope you sell a variety of CIB physical copies of old school classic retro video game titles on N64, GameCube, Wii, GB/GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS, Sega Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP!! Please make this happen (like what GameStop used to do back then before 2012)!! I'm definitely planning on go to these stores so I can embrace and relive the nostalgia!! 🎮🕹👾🤘🤟✌😌😊🤗😄😎👍🤙☯✨❤💛💙💯

Lol, this list is garbage, you absolutelty missed one of the/the best mascots of all time in la Phryge. Your taste in animation sucks as well. Waldi gets a B-tier as well, lol, ok it is fucking timeless design and you give it a "baseline" b tier. Delete this garbage

All the Retro Gamestop locations look about to have always the same games; those already ported to modern systems or those available on platform subscription services. And it is sad!

GameStop didn't even know what they were doing before this. And still don't.

But they have been doing for a long time all you had to do was ask they kept all older games in the drawters

I'm good I will just use my emulators can't wait for them to close though.

At least you saved on shipping

Its disappointing that they're selling gta 3 Vice City and San Andreas in those cases that are clearly the collection cases. Those aren't stand alone boxes and ppl collecting and buying retro will probably never buy that..

You have to ask the register if they have carts they aren't putting them on the shelves due to theft I've heard.

I always preferred funcoland

If you were to update this with the Paris 2024 mascots where'd you put them in?

13:35 that looks like the American Airlaines logo
