Hello, I'm in the Raleigh area too! It's very weird seeing some of the shops I frequent on KZbin. 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.

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.

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.

Did it beat Miraitowa? Keep in mind Miraitowa remained popular after the games, to the point where the Tokyo Government and JOC officially brought it back and made it a permenant character. However, what they can do with Miraitowa is very limited as the IOC is greedy and will only allow them to use the mascot costume in events and that's it. Also, Miraitowa is still popular today. Yes, even after *both* the Tokyo Olympics and Paris Olympics.

I can vouch for that, miraitowa and Someity have appeared in almost every fan media related to the mascots Somehow from fanfics to fanart. I like the lil hats, but miraitowa and Someitys presence is on another level.
@FoxGalahArtStuff10 күн бұрын
@@gabrielchee8470 It has been confirmed that Miraitowa and Someity are so popular after Tokyo 2020 that would've gotten as much stuff after the Tokyo Games as before/during the event. However, the companies making the characters appear after the games cannot do that due to the IOC's strictness. For example, Miraitowa and Someity got an official video game in 2022 where they jumped over obstacles. The game is unavaliable to the public due to the IOC/IPC's strictness. It shows how much the companies who care want to do with Mirasome.

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)
@gabrielchee847015 күн бұрын
Well I think my best explanation is because of inclusivity reasons. I'm pretty sure Paralympians want to be seen equally with their Olympic counterparts so maybe that's why between sondre and Paralympics phyrge none of them were given a disability. Also it could prove a design hindrance, hence Petra, Sondre and the Paralympics phyrge being the only ones with one. (As well as maybe stigma towards ppl with disabilities)

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.
