This is a great retro game store. The selection is huge given how small the store is and spans all your major consoles. Loved the spread of Nintendo games by the counter. The prices are very competitive with what you find online and often beat them out (including shipping). They also carry accessories like travel cases. In the middle of the store are a bunch of anime and pop culture items. In addition to games, they offer services like replacing save batteries. Employees are nice and happy to answer questions. The employees at the counter always let me browse at my leisure. Love that San Diego has such a good retro game store! Selection updates every day, so I recommend making regular visits to see what you can find.

This place rocks! I cannot say enough good things about this place, it a nerd heaven.
The staff was very knowledgeable across multiple platforms.
The store is clean, laid out well and everything is in alphabetical order.
They have a 7 day return policy on used games, if you get home and something doesn't work. They had a huge selection of retro games and systems so we picked up some new to us Gamecube games.
If you're into retro gaming, this place is for you.

I had a great experience with this shop. They offer fair prices if you sell to them and they have a huge collection of retro games for a wide variety of consoles if you're looking to buy.

A great local retro video game store - providing niche and hard to find games. This is one of their 3 locations here in San Diego.

This is the closest one to me and I frequently visit a couple of times a month as their selection and inventory constantly change. Fairly active on their Instagram as they post the latest trade-ins for sale.

Pricing is fair and on market value. They do trade-in which you can either opt for cash or in-store credit. Store credit can be used at any of their 3 locations in San Diego.

The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable and variety of selection of games and consoles will have you grinning with joy.

Photos they have plenty of n64 boxed games.

Great selection, friendly service. Pricing maybe on the higher end for a few items but fair for most of the selection. I didn’t find anything I needed on this visit but glad I checked the store out.

I may have not have gotten anything, but I would have loved to. The selection is enormous and the staff were super chill and helpful. Hopefully a good review will at least help you out!

Best retro gaming store I’ve ever experienced. Not sure if it was his store by the gentlemen helping me was an encyclopedia of gaming knowledge and had all the answers to my questions and trust me they were almost endless. I coulda stayed there all day talking pokemon GBA games but they were already 10 mins past closing time. He didn’t make me feel bad at all for being there late and was instead welcoming. He was such a nice guy that when we left my gf and I went to Starbucks and we both wanted to grab him one for the help. lmao. We didn’t bc they were closed and that’d be too much but he was that COOL that we at least contemplated it. The store had it all as well. 10/10 will be back. Thank you.
