I love these retro gaming store tour videos! I've been stuck at home ever since February because two people in my house are very vulnerable, its so good to be able to at least look around the stores in safety 😄 Thanks Jason!
As a game store owner in Florida, I noticed his prices on consoles were very good. Also yep our local Gamestop send tons of people to us which is very cool.
Because small-medium sized town game stores sell a nes-snes for $49 same with GameCube and $75 for n64 $50 for a Wii $140 for a Wii U 32gb and so on controllers are $6-12 used gameboys $35-$70 depending on model most game carts and discs are 20% below eBay prices because they don’t pay shipping on them and they are still making plenty
like anything else used product is region based. I don't know any store with those prices these days. We sell consoles for our listed prices on store daily and run out of everything eventually. We also pay more for them due to selling them for more. I just offered a friend $50 wholesale for 10 N64 console with 1 controller. Perhaps where you're from the market is different but around these parts our prices are either the cheapest or within a few percent of everyone else.
@@josh1364 We've learned you just can't pay much for a Wii that are console only. All pieces add up to astronomical prices when you have to piece them together. I wouldn't worry to much on your prices, I think they are good and in alignment with what other stores charge.
@@josh1364 I didn’t say you were in the wrong I’m just explaining why some people are appalled by the prices they are the ones that don’t understand supply and demand on old things can change regionally and that affects pricing I just paid $200 for a complete in box snes with 2 controllers and star fox/Mario bundle all like new condition possible never played with manuals and so on lol also if you get consoles or accessories with yellowing you should look up peroxide with uv light it’s a super cheap way to make it look new again it’s amazing and way cheaper than retro bright without the streaking problems
I used to go there all the time from 2001 - 2005 during my college years at Portland State University. They had a good indie/underground hip-hop section. That place and 360 Vinyl (RIP).
Anytime I go down to Portland for a weekend, visiting Josh's store is a must. Last time I was there we sat and talked about that very 1990 NWC shown in this video. Josh has helped me out with building my SNES collection and cut me some solid deals. I always leave his store with a purchase. Highly recommended to anyone searching for something to add to their collection.
The Ms pacman "speed-mod" was a hardware modification made to most of the original ms. Pacman arcade pcb that ran the game faster. The mod was intended to cycle though players faster, but proved to be a much much more popular version of thr game. The modded cabinets outnumber the regular cabinets by a significant margin.
Thanks for sharing about SideQuest Games, I am like a 10 minute drive away from this place. I never knew any retro video game store existed in my area.
@@MetalJesusRocks Just wanted to echo OP's sentiment. Fun seeing the little 'slice of life' segments. In longer videos I think they serve as a 'palate cleanser' if you will. Thanks for making such fun content my dude.
Yes! Sidequest is awesome. We went there a while back before they had that entire space, then again when it looks like it does in the video. Such a nice space now. Great selection and game prices were generally in line with the market. You can easily find a good deal on something. Good staff too.
The most memorable thing about King's Field 2 is the grave yard. Almost everything looks the same in the first game. They treat you with some variety in the second one.
I highly recommend checking out flea markets in Kanata and Stittsville. Gaming stores in Ottawa like Game Zetera are bland and extremely over priced. The only store that has good customer service and reasonable prices is Gaming Kingdom in Kanata. The name may turn you away but the staff are great and you can find some great games there for around or below eBay prices!
@@Maxquaza Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check 'em out. Well, once the pandemic numbers drop a bit. The flea market in Carp was decent the few times I went.
Double jump video games. They also do online game sales. Located in Washington. They also run a RUclips channel called siccooper if you havnt checked em out i recommend it.
@@AfterBurnerTeirusu we're currently working on international shipping. We made some adjustments so let us know if it's working now. It's a brand new website and we haven't had any international shipments yet.
Loved this so much!! What a great store, damn. I love that you're throwing support toward these smaller places that might need it too, especially this year. Super cool!
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
Jason Vigilante 8 has a list of special moves you can pull off with a button combination for each weapon. Look them up! I played te game for a year before discovering them by mistake back when it came out.
I love all your videos, but I think this might be my favourite “series” that you do. So cool to get a look around some of these retro game stores and vinyl shops. We unfortunately don’t have anything like this anywhere near me in the UK. Love it, keep up the great work man 🤘🏼
Red Asphalt is actually the sequel to Rock nRoll racing for the SNES. Challenging game, be sure to upgrade your suspension first or you spinout continuously.
The US is a massive country. Driving from Seattle to Los Angeles is about 1,200 miles and would take you almost 17 hours straight! We did that a couple times for E3 Expo over a week... pretty fun.
@@MetalJesusRocks That's crazy, but I'm sure if I lived over there I would be just as crazy. Not enough retro game stores, or game stores in general in the UK
Great store you have over there. Some interesting imports games (for my coming from EU). Not sure if importing them would be good due to high customs for US items here :(
Not currently but now they have a pretty good view of the inside and how to get to the valuable games in the back I’ve seen them loot a few game stores usually game stops but I’m sure that they will make an exception
Man you guys are lucky to have so many amazing game stores in the US. You can tell that a lot of them have genuine passion for what they do, pretty much everywhere else in the world has nothing even remotely close to stores like this and even less so when it comes to people in it for the passion. Regardless awesome video! 13:41 holy shit that looks like vic from EP!
When I was a kid I stayed at my grandparents' house on the weekends. They would take me to our local rental store and I would always pick up Zero Tolerance and a couple of other Sega Genesis games. I remember them watching me play it for hours and pretending like they were interested in the game. My grandpa recently passed. He is sorely missed, and Zero Tolerance will always remind me of him.
That $5 or less section is way better than any I've ever seen. So much stuff. A lot of the times it's "junk" items no one would want, but sometimes there are a few cool things in there worth picking up. I hope the used game store I like going to is still up when this all finally blows over. I'd like to continue supporting them, but there's no justification for me personally going that far right now just to pick up a few video games given the distance, cost of gas and current climate. But they were my number one place to pick up Skylanders figures, old PS2 games, and even a PS1 title or two (though they aren't cheap there, unfortunately and I wish I had picked up Spyro before the remasters came out and they got expensive...). Hope their business survives. They're in a good location, but who knows, might be tough for them right now.
The last Opeth album I really loved is Ghost Reveries... the newer stuff is... interesting... but I miss those old days fo My Arms Your Hearse, Still Life, Blackwater Park, Deliverance/Damnation.
@@MetalJesusRocks I always tell my friends that Opeth should've changed their name after Ghost Reveries. Everything after that is just neo 70s prog rock. Not really metal.
Metal Jesus, been watching for years and love everything your doing. What I love most is how you have progressed as a content creator and the community around you has grown. I respect you and your brand. Much love.
If you haven't found it yet and don't have it in your PS2 Collection, you know you have to pick up "Urban Reign". One of the best fighting story telling games ever. Love your videos my friend, wish there was a way to meeting you.
Thanks for going to all these video game stores lately! My neighborhood game store shut down, sucks because I spent money there every week hoping others were also but it still closed
Late to the party but a huge THANK YOU MJ! I just spoke to them about PSP batteries, a PS3, hdmi connector, and games. They are super quick with email responses and order shipments.
Fun fact about Vigilante 8, during gameplay you are able to take the game cd out and swap it for a music cd and when the level is done you put the game cd back in to progress to the next chapter. Try it! ;)
Hey I used to go there all the time when I lived in Vancouver WA just across the river. Awesome store and glad to see it online I really miss it out there
Or taking advantage of someone for profit. Aka, lost my house my wildfires now thus is preserved in history rofl. Sure he brought the stuff to the store to preserve history. More likely desperately preserve his humanity since he lost everything.
I hate what this hobby has become. It's all hoarding and quantity of over quality. The worst is those people that buy EVERY release from Limited Run and never even open them.. thousands of games they have no interest in playing just bought to gather dust on a shelf, because "collecting" 😑
2nd Avenue Records is the best shop in Portland. Same people running it for more than 25 years, best chance to find something surprising of all record stores in town.
glad to see you in my area i moved up here to vancouver like 3 years ago and one of my favorite things about the area is the video game and retro video game communities. way bigger than what i was used to in texas.
Gotta be the best soundtrack I ever heard in a game. Though I do wish they kept Last Surprise from the original as the battle theme when you sneak up on someone, Take Over isn't nearly as good IMO. I think Last Surprise is still the battle theme if you don't get the sneak attack in though? Also love all the P5 DLC being thrown in so I can play with Mass Destruction as the battle theme.
Yes but the Royal version does not have an "additional semester". It's one big month, at best. Still better to pick over the original one, but let's avoid conveying fakse advertisment...
These retro game shop always got something cool in 'em! If you're in the area, a good recommendation would be Double Jump Games just across the bridge from PDX into Vancouver. Pretty neat store albeit not nearly as big. Love it!
Been driving by there to work and just found it a couple weeks ago.Josh was cool on giving me a mark down on Vita game and since seeing your vid this morning gonna head there today to do more browsing since i could't before.Love the channel ,thought i was already subscribed but now i am for sure.I too love the smell of retro games in the morning!!
Well done for the store keeper and yourself for holding on to the covid regulations. Greetings from Europe! And wow, you are a fan of Cocteau Twins! Amazing from you being a metal head, lol! Great singer Liz Fraser!
I’m sure you guys haven’t heard of Phoenix games, man that store brings big memories even tho my English wasn’t great these people made me feel like home and it sucks I haven’t seem them in the world because I would greet them w such love man
Hope Portland treated you well! SideQuest is my closest game store, but you gave me a new level for appreciation for it. They are located where another retro game store used to be before it went under, but SideQuest is waaay better. 2nd Avenue is also a fantastic store, but next time you are in the area be sure to check out Music Millennium and Everyday Music!

MJ, you honestly make the best retro content on RUclips in my opinion. Thank you for taking us on a tour of SideQuest.
Vigilante 8 is a hidden gem series. Loved them on the n64. Seriously the series hardly ever gets a mention.
I liked the first one best, but they're both amazing!
Ive only played the one on PS1
A lot of hours put in on the second one. We didn’t play the first one.
Its probably under the radar due to Twisted Metal coming out around the same time.
Had 1st one one PS1 and was awesome, think got sequel on N64. Then download on Xbox but stopped working due to licence or something, Microsoft refunded me.
Vigilante 8 and twisted metal was my childhood experience.

Been driving by there to work and just found it a couple weeks ago.Josh was cool on giving me a mark down on Vita game and since seeing your vid this morning gonna head there today to do more browsing since i could't before.Love the channel ,thought i was already subscribed but now i am for sure.I too love the smell of retro games in the morning!!
Well done for the store keeper and yourself for holding on to the covid regulations. Greetings from Europe!
And wow, you are a fan of Cocteau Twins! Amazing from you being a metal head, lol! Great singer Liz Fraser!
Noticed the 'Ace Of Spades' album there, such an iconic front cover!
I’m pretending this is the only thing that has happened in Portland lately to stay positive. Thanks!
I’m sure you guys haven’t heard of Phoenix games, man that store brings big memories even tho my English wasn’t great these people made me feel like home and it sucks I haven’t seem them in the world because I would greet them w such love man
I really hope this store wasn't looted during the riots.
courier crisis is good.
“hey do you have a metal section or is it just mixed in with rock” LMFAO I feel you bro!
I know right? I don't wanna dig through thousands of "rock" albums like Springsteen, The Who and The Strokes to find those metal gems.
@@MetalJesusRocks But those bands are rock bands, or did I miss something?!
Have done that drive too many times to count, steel bridge over the Cowlitz River, very nice.
Portland? Don't you mean hell
Seemed pretty nice to me.
Hey Jason your recent upload of N64 games was amazing. Just giving you more love.
I love when the metal Jesus hit the road for games.
I do love a good road trip! 😎
Hope Portland treated you well! SideQuest is my closest game store, but you gave me a new level for appreciation for it. They are located where another retro game store used to be before it went under, but SideQuest is waaay better. 2nd Avenue is also a fantastic store, but next time you are in the area be sure to check out Music Millennium and Everyday Music!
