    VGNY and Bookoff are my favorite in NYC. J & L has terrible prices on everything not modern so I stay away from them.

    There a huge amount of private collectors who have massive collections, they just don’t want the publicity. 12 key retro for example somewhere in NY is a museum that people live in, and only a limited amount of people know about it. It’s a unicorn IMO, but …..

    There's been retro game stores popping up around New England. Core Gaming in Salem NH actually expanded, and now has a location in Nashua NH. Salem MA has two retro game stores, and a fantastic barcade.

    Hit up Brooklyn next!
    Got to Brooklyn Video Games, and their new expansion store Brooklyn Games & Arcade. Also hit up Brooklyn Game Shack, and finally hit up the BookOff located in Sunset Park, while it’s smaller than its Manhattan location it carried loads of SFC games at very generous prices!

      Yoooo Harry! I was like “that guy looks familiar…” Japan is great. I’m planning a trip in March to visit family if the stars align, I’ve been to game shops out there, but that was in 2019 before I was filming stuff for these videos. I’m psyched to go out there, it’s been a minute though.

    i've been to video games new york once, they're pretty cool, but I also recommend 8 bit and up, its only a few blocks away and is much cheaper (obviously not as quality but its so much easier to just go in and buy a game compared to having to ask like a best buy or target

    I love this video. The editing is great but I think the title and thumbnail will hold it back. The thumbnail is fine but too cluttered. Feels like there’s too much stuff going on when in reality there’s not too much. Probably the borders fault but that’s just my opinion. The second thing is the title. Like “visiting 100 game stores” emphasizes that you’re visiting 100 game stores in that video. Maybe it could be like “I visited three game stores while in New York” or something like that. I mean that’s pretty long for a title but it shows what you did more than “I went to 100 stores”

      Video games New York or 8bit and up. There is also BookOff near mid town. This is still NYC so nothing is too cheap, but between those, Video Games New York

    All these stores are for Nintenchildren. I've gone to these stores to pick up retro PS2 and PS1 games. Very basic and obvious classics. They never have them. If you don't have Resident Evil 3 or Ratchet & Clank in stock, then you're cooked.
