I'm visiting from Hawaii, and there are ZERO stores selling retro video games besides the thrift shops and buy/sell bookstores where you only hope someone donates or sells their games, which is very rare, and hope they're not incredibly overpriced, which is often. Nintendo NES games is what I'm collecting at the moment. I had a pretty big collection when I was a kid, and recently felt like expanding it. Luckily, Vancouver has a couple of these stores, and Gamedeals Video Games has TONS of NES games!!! Getting to this store located in New Westminster from Downtown Vancouver was a journey, but worth it. Coming into this store brought back so many memories when I used to go to video game stores almost every week 20 years ago. It was pretty much the exact same thing! Not only was there video games, there were also toys, board games, and other awesome things. Everything was very organized by section and in alphabetical order. I spent a good hour here just browsing and selecting my games. For the NES games, they were only loose games or with the box. No dust sleeves or instruction booklets for the loose games for some reason. It was hard not to buy every game that I don't have, but I only bought the ones that were priced below market value and in good condition. In the end, I came out with 8 games. I definitely would've bought more if I stayed longer! But I need to safely bring them all home! I was looking for rare games, which they had a few, but way, way, overpriced. Overall, a nice, nostalgic experience. An excellent store with games and accessories for every game console since the Atari. The staff wasn't exactly the friendly, talkative, super nerdy bunch, but friendly enough. I felt I got a decent deal for my games. Definitely happy! Hopefully they all work cause returning them would be a little troublesome.

I'm visiting from Hawaii, and there are no stores like it besides thrift shops and buy/sell bookstores where you only hope someone donates or sells their games, which is very rare, and also hope they're not incredibly overpriced, which is often. I found Gamedeals and Press Start. I went to Gamedeals first, and it's in the same area as Press Start in New Westminster. I wish I can to Press Start first! It's a small store and messily organized because it's jam packed with everything retro. I was just interested in NES games. Their quantity isn't much, but their prices are a lot better than the other store. They also have more rare games, but they were still overpriced, just not as much. The person who helped me was very friendly and helpful. He's genuinely into this stuff and it clearly shows! I grabbed another load of NES games even though I said I wouldn't because I still had to carefully pack it away in my luggage. Next trip, I'll just bring an empty suitcase with bubble wrap! Overall, I wish there were more stores and people who sell retro games fairly and reasonably because the people buying are collectors too and look to just collect. Most people just price gouge like crazy just looking for the uninformed customers. I'm glad Press Start Video Games doesn't do that. All their games are guaranteed with a 14 day return policy (much better than 7 days at other stores). Just a great store! Reminded me of a video game store in Kaimuki I went to every Saturday when I was a kid. I regret not buying more NES games at that time!

Yes because of their enhanced square footage they can and do carry a lot more stock than other locations but it's really the way how everything is placed and presented that makes the difference . I also dig how they have not just one but several copies of , for example , newly released Star Wars figures to populate the pegs . In all it was worth the trip !

I think this place is now called Gamer's Choice Video Games. I would think it's due to some sort of…read morelitigation or cease/desist from the actual Gamestop, parent company of EB Games. I'll say it out loud, it's probably not the best shop to go to, but they do have a massive amount of inventory of back list titles that would otherwise be difficult to find. I've been on a bit of retro-game binge lately, and games for systems like the GBA/GC/PSP (to a lesser extent) are harder and harder to come by. Thankfully, these guys seem to stock a lot of them. You can find the odd gem, and it's probably something you'd need to keep on top of to find what you are looking for, but it can be done. Gone are the days when Willow(in my area), Microplay/Gaming Ground Zero are around to provide viable alternatives to EB Games, so now we are left with very few options in terms of shopping around at strictly game-centric retail stores. The store offers some features from a bygone era, such as offering cash for your trade ins. I'm not sure how much they give you (I overheard the guy offering $90 in-store credit for a PS Vita, or $60 cash) or how the process works, but it isn't a feature that I'm keen to take advantage of. They will also buy and sell PCs as well as iPods, old cell phones and consoles/games/peripherals. By no means am I a regular customer. I think I've been to the store a few times since it's opened, and only bought a harder to find game a while ago. As I mentioned, they have a large amount of inventory, that in some cases seems prohibitive, and it certainly could use better organizing. None of the games are filed in any sort of discernible method, which means you'll have to go over each game case by hand. This can lead to some interesting finds for sure, and I'm not really certain if they have a basic inventory system (it might all be in the guy's head). I do wish their PSP section was better displayed (the UMD cases arranged haphazardly in a glass case does not make for easy discovery). That being said, things are priced moderately. If the owner is reading this, please for your sake and the sake of your customers re-arrange your product so that it is sort of alphabetical or even sub-categorical, and easier to shop. They seem to also have a huge amount of newer product behind the counter, but it isn't exactly clear what is behind there, or how much it is. I'll probably go back at some point when I'm in the area to look around.

I live in Poco and it's a shame to have such a terrible retro video game store here…read more They have a great selection but this is the most overpriced retro store in the lower mainland. There prices are about 20% more than the highest eBay price. I would venture to say 30 to 40% more than press start in new west or game bit in mission. Honestly I wanted super Mario Allstars for my snes. This guy wanted $69 for it. I went to press start and it was $29. That's $40???? Over double the competition. Avoid this con man at all costs. Seriously there is like 10 retro game stores in the lower mainland. Take a drive, it will literally cost less in gas then to deal with this bozo. Or order the most expensive copy of what your looking for on eBay. You will still save money. I was in there yesterday, their games are also in shit condition. There snes and nes games. So not only are they ridiculously expensive, they are ridiculously expensive shit. :)

Anyway I insisted and eventually got my money back in about two weeks. Not too impressed with the service to be honest.

It's kind of located away from the main strip in a non-descript building. Once you enter, head to the far wall for all the latest comics. On your way there, you'll also find aisles and aisles filled with boxes of old comics. A quick perusal had me finding 20+ year old comics available. Comics are very well organized with labeled partitions. I had no trouble locating some of my favorite titles. That said, there were many back issues missing from the title I was pursuing. Prices, however, we're good since they were virtually cover price for 3-4 year old comics. The staff are friendly. In the short time I was there, a few regulars dropped by and were greeted like long-time friends. This store also has a large selection of Dungeons and Dragons figures.....the kind that you paint and role-play with. Not my thing, but it's available if you like that sort of thing. Also, they have a small selection of action figures, statues and busts of comic book characters, although prices seem a bit higher than I have seen in Vancouver shops. All in all, a good way to relive your childhood one comic book at a time.
